Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Inland Revenue Department - New Zealand Full time
Ready to put the ME into IRD? We think our Customer Service Officer role is for YOU.

Good people can go great places here, so to get the ideal 'what's in it for me', look no further than IR.


He aha te mahi? | What is the role?
The Customer Service Officer is a fast-paced, frontline role which is vital to our business.

IR does so much more than just collect taxes - we actually fund and deliver programmes which support and care for the people of New Zealand.

What's more, a career with us does not necessarily mean a career in numbers and taxes - you'll be bringing your customer centric approach to improve customer experience.

Day-to-day, your tasks might include responding to customers, coming up with solutions, and calculating options when communicating a plan.

E hiahia ana koe ki te mahi tahi? | Want to work together?
We're looking for people who are passionate, keen learners and committed to what they do. You'll be joining a team of Customer Service Officers who have come from all walks of life. Whether you're taking the next step in your professional journey, returning to the workforce, or looking to start your career - all are welcome

Ideally, you will possess the following skills:

  • Great communications skills, both verbal and written
  • Curiosity and problem solving
  • Resilience
  • Digital savviness (we'll teach you the ins and outs of our unique tools)
  • Comfortable with numbers
  • Customer centric mindset

He aha ngā painga Mōu? | What's in it for YOU?


We offer a supportive team environment and great opportunities to grow and learn, both within the Customer Service Officer role or if you want to spread your wings into other areas of the business.

We invest in you from day one - providing a well-mapped out training programme that allows you to understand our tax and social policy products.


Your hours of work will be up to 7 hours 35 minutes per day (75 hours 50 minutes per fortnight), to be worked between 7.25am and 8.30pm Monday to Friday, and between 8.00am and 5.00pm on Saturdays.

We have a Rotating Roster which operates 5 weeks in advance.


Here at Inland Revenue (IR) we are well advanced into a multi-year business transformation which will modernise our entire operation.

As a customer-centric organisation, IR's goal is to give customers the best possible experience when using the NZ tax system.

This is resulting in significant changes to how we operate and engage with customers, and the way that our people undertake their work.
