Senior policy analyst roles for an evolving digital world
Are you interested in shaping policies that make New Zealand a safer place and strengthen our democracy? What about policy work that has impact and will make a real difference across our physical and digital worlds?
We need senior policy analysts to join our teams working to make our experiences safer, empower New Zealanders and promote our democratic values and freedoms.
We have Senior Policy Analyst positions available in the following teams:

- Digital policy - Join a team that is resetting its direction and function. The team is responsible for delivering regulations for the Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Act and working alongside colleagues establishing the regulatory function for this Act. The team also provides policy support to the Government Chief Digital Officer who has responsibility for leading government uptake of digital technology along with providing advice to the Minister for the Digital Economy and Communications.
- Gambling policy - An exciting opportunity to be involved in a team focused on developing policies that ensure gambling in New Zealand is fair and safe. Most recently we have delivered regulatory changes which will reduce harm from pokie machines and are now focused on delivering a review of Gambling Act 2003. Working with us on a review of legislation provides an exciting opportunity to grapple with some difficult issues such as online gambling, advertising and how we can effectively minimise harm across the gambling system. It will also involve opportunities to engage with a range of stakeholders including the Ministry of Health, casinos and gambling harm service providers.
- Identity Policy - The team ensure identity frameworks are modern and inclusive. We work alongside the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages and colleagues in the Service Delivery and Operations branch. We are currently working alongside other government agencies to reform surrogacy and adoption laws, and recently passed changes to make it easier for trans, non-binary, intersex and takatāpui people to change the gender on their birth certificate.
- Community Wellbeing policy - Following the passing of amendments to the Charities Act, the team is working on related regulations to support new functions under the Act. The team is also focusing on setting the strategic direction for the Community and Voluntary Sector portfolio into the next term of government to ensure we are supporting thriving communities. As part of this team, you can also work on various regulatory issues to support the operation of Fire and Emergency, particularly to ensure funding for the critical services it provides.

As a Senior Policy Analyst at Te Tari Taiwhenua you will lead, deliver, and support evidence-based advice for ministers and senior leaders in the public service.
You will need a relevant degree that demonstrates your critical thinking training, several years' experience as an analyst or senior analyst, giving you a diverse experience base to draw on. You will have honed your communication style to work for busy ministers and senior leaders.
You will enjoy supporting analysts to navigate policy processes so that they are successful. You are ready to share your experiences as a mentor for more junior members of the team.
You may have some experience in legislative processes, this will be an advantage. You'll have a curious mindset that is motivated by solving problems and you're committed to continuous learning.
Community and stakeholder engagement is a big part of what we do. You will need to be comfortable leading relationships with community, industry and international stakeholders.
Tō Tātou Rohe | Our Place, what we offer you
The opportunity to grow a strong base of policy processes and analytical skills.
A supportive, flexible and development focused culture. The Group offers formal training, mentoring and we will ensure you get a range of experiences in your work.
