Our work is About Aotearoa, for Aotearoa - data that improves lives today and for generations to come.

Mōu | For you

Remuneration for the Principal Advisor, Executive and Government Relations will be based on the skills and experience you bring.

As a guide the band range is $114,614 (step 1) to $134,134 (step 6), with a maximum of $153,654.

Te tūnga | The role
This is a new role, with two positions available.


The Principal Advisor, Executive and Government Relations, provides quality strategic and operational advice, improving systems and processes that enable Stats NZ to meet relevant standards in terms of accuracy, quality, and timeliness for ministerial and executive servicing.


The role will largely focus on the machinery of government, parliamentary processes, and accountability mechanisms, including the management of Stats NZ's responses to select committees and relevant cross-agency deliverables.


Reporting to the Senior Manager, Executive and Government Relations and working closely with the General Manager, the Principal Advisors will be responsible for leading and delivering work and assisting with the growth in capability and expertise of the wider External and Government Relations group.

Please review the attached position description for further information on the requirements and expectations of the role.


Note the positions are full-time, permanent, and are Wellington-based, although we may be able to be flexible for the right person/s.


Nōu te rourou | What you bring**You're someone who enjoys being kept on their toes and utilising their political nous and expert level of knowledge and skill in the machinery of government and parliamentary processes and procedures.


You have excellent judgement and understand where established practices are a necessity, but equally, where there is scope to push, challenge, and innovate to ensure success and the timely provision of advice.


You are comfortable leading and delivering discrete pieces of work, sometimes with limited direction or ambiguity, utilising your outstanding written and oral communication skills and your ability to manage in a busy and complex environment.


You know how to produce high quality advice, and are skilled at translating, analysing, and presenting complex issues in clear and concise language fit for the specific audience - whether it be the Chief Executive, ELT, Ministers, Cabinet committees, central agencies or key external stakeholders.


You're known for building strong and effective working relationships internally and externally and have a reputation as someone who can 'get things done' while maintaining a strategic perspective and a good attitude.


Although this role does not require people management, it will require you to share your wealth of knowledge and purposely upskill and build the capability of specific staff who are more junior than you, as you deliver on key work items.


This role requires familiarity with Te Ao Māori and a desire to effectively engage with the Treaty partner and sector stakeholders.

We deliver for Māori, iwi and hapū in our work and you will build your own capability in this space.
