Working on the Parliamentary precinct is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of policy decision making affecting all New Zealanders, where communicating the Government's future direction is both exciting and rewarding.

We are seeking someone who is ready for a fast-paced, exciting, and stimulating role.

Based in a ministerial office, you will work closely with a Minister to ensure communications are aligned to policy and decision-making of the Executive Government.

As the Press Secretary you will be responsible for supporting a Minister with the development and promotion of key strategies.

The nature of this position requires you to both plan and prepare a story before it happens as well as create the narrative.

The position will require you to move seamlessly through a range of complex material, where an eye for detail and the ability to communicate complex ideas to a variety of audiences, through a number of channels is critical to success.

Having a highly attuned awareness of the current media and political landscape, you will be confident in writing speeches and news releases.

You will also be comfortable and confident interacting in a collegial way with members of the Minister's team, others on the precinct, and a number of key stakeholders.

The Department of Internal Affairs is committed to the professional development of its employees, offering a number of in-house and self-paced online learning opportunities.
