Te Manatū Waka, Ministry of Transport (MoT) is the government's principal adviser and system lead on transport.

As steward of the transport system, the Ministry works to shape the future of New Zealand's transport networks through monitoring, modelling, research and intelligence.

MoT's key responsibilities include providing policy advice to Government including the development of investment and regulatory settings, legislative advice and Crown agency governance, accountability and performance.


The System Performance & Governance Group leads the appraisal, assessment, monitoring and evaluation of the health and performance of the transport system, and the key transport agencies within it.

The Group also monitors and provides assurance to Ministers on Vote Transport, and a range of specific government investments in the transport system.


Reporting to the Chief Executive, the Deputy Chief Executive - System Performance & Governance works with executive colleagues to provide strategic leadership across the Ministry.

Accountable for approximately 80 staff, key portfolios include Auckland Light Rail, Governance, the Emissions Programme Office, Finance, Programme Assurance and Commercial, Data and Analytics, as well as Research, Economics and Evaluation.


If appointed, you will be accountable for engagement with a range of stakeholders (including at Board and CEO level) across the Crown entities that the Ministry monitors, along with a range of Government agencies and commercial delivery partners.

This position requires an excellent people leader with strong, nuanced relationship management credentials.

Exposure to Crown entity monitoring, assurance and the use of data and analytics to support policy, would also add value.


The capabilities and experience sought include:

  • Systems thinking skills, with the ability to provide strategic, organisational, and sectorbased leadership
  • An authentic, engaged people leadership style
  • Superb crossgovernment and pansector relationship management
  • Capacity to operate collegially as part of a closeknit executive team.
