New Zealand Police is seeking a Senior Media Advisor to join our dynamic, fast-paced and highly regarded Media Team. This role will be managed by the Police Media Centre in Police National Headquarters, Wellington and sit within a wider team of centralised Media & Communication services. NZ Police has the largest media demand of any Government department and receives over 150 media queries every day. This is a busy environment and will appeal to someone who responds well under pressure and is able to quickly gain the confidence of our spokespeople and media.

As a Senior Media Advisor, you will be working with media, frontline staff, district and national leaders, subject matter experts, and other stakeholders daily. For this reason, you will need to have sound judgement, be able to work efficiently, and to think critically. The Police Media Centre supports all districts, so you may be required to travel and, when the big events occur, at short notice. Our teams work on a rostered shift basis with the Police Media Centre operating seven days a week.

Key Accountabilities:
  • Liaising with media and district and executive staff
  • Managing media enquiries including crafting media approach and responses
  • Providing media advice to Police staff and supporting media-facing events
  • Working collaboratively with other media advisors and communications team members including our award-winning social media team
  • Demonstrate Whakaako: educating and growing our people to deliver the best service.
