  • Be agile and willing to work across challenges big and small.
  • Have experience working collaboratively across teams, and building relationships with subject matter experts and stakeholders.
  • Be willing to contribute to the development of the team's capability and culture.

The expected appointed salary for this role is $105,000 - $123,000 per annum depending on experience.

Whether you're developing our products and services to support our customers, managing the Crown estate, engaging with our iwi partners, or helping us be an effective regulator, your contribution can make a difference. Our mahi helps New Zealanders have confidence that the development of our land, communities and country is being planned from an informed and expert position that balances environmental, social, cultural, and economic considerations.
