- Wellington central
- Salary: $132,417 - $160,472 p.a. + KiwiSaver & Wellness Benefits
We're looking for a Strategic Initiatives and Implementation Lead to partner directly with the General Manager of Customer Service Delivery (CSD). This role is critical in enabling the branch to deliver on its long-term goals, and we need someone who can operate at pace, with precision, and with a strong strategic mindset.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Leading the development, coordination, and delivery of strategic initiatives that directly impact the future direction of the CSD branch
- Designing and managing governance and risk frameworks to ensure clarity, alignment, and accountability across the branch
- Turning unstructured information into actionable insights that guide planning and investment decisions
- Using communication as a tool to influence and bring people with you—whether you're leading stakeholder engagement, driving change initiatives, or shaping service transformation
- Collaborating across the business and with external partners to ensure insights are not only heard but acted upon
- Iterating the development of the CSD strategic framework, working with colleagues across TWSD and MBIE to ensure alignment
What You'll Bring:
- A confident and articulate communicator – able to present complex and varied information succinctly, and adapt style to suit different audiences
- A strategic influencer – not just relaying information but shaping thinking and driving change, especially where direct levers of control are limited
- A systems thinker – comfortable operating in ambiguity and using insights to form connections across the system
- A track record of synthesizing information from multiple sources and converting it into actionable insights or strategic plans
- Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to work across boundaries to create alignment
- Comfort presenting to senior leaders, facilitating conversations, and challenging assumptions constructively
- Passion for continuous improvement and delivering services that are fit for the future
MBIE's goal is to create a resilient and high-performing economy that delivers real and ongoing quality of life for all New Zealanders.
We do this by working with others to create an environment that supports businesses to be more productive and internationally competitive, enables all New Zealanders to participate in the economy through improved job opportunities and by working to ensure quality housing is more affordable.
People are at the heart of our mahi, and our way of working is guided by our values which shape our behaviours.
- Mahi Tahi – Better Together
- Māia– Bold and brave
- Pae Kahurangi – Build our Future
- Pono Me Te Tika – Own It
Our aspirations are echoed in our Māori identity – Hīkina Whakatutuki – which broadly means 'lifting to make successful'.
MBIE recognises the partnership founded under Te Tiriti o Waitangi between Māori and the Crown and is committed to giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi through enduring, meaningful and effective partnerships with iwi, Māori, other Māori groups/organisations and the Crown. We are committed to continuing to partner with iwi in order to find new sustainable solutions to address long-standing systemic and cross-cutting issues facing Māori and wider Aotearoa New Zealand.
