- Be part of a Government that is putting New Zealanders first
- Fast paced and ever-changing environment
Hon. Simeon Brown, Minister for Energy, Minister of Local Government, and Minister of Transport is seeking an Advisor who is committed to building a close and trusting working relationship. You will be providing the Minister with political oversight and high-quality independent advice on policy proposals and submissions received in line with the Government's objectives.
Being deeply involved in the Minister's delegated areas of responsibility, you will have the opportunity to gain an insight into the workings of the Executive Government of today. This is a unique opportunity to share, contribute and strengthen your political knowledge in a high performing Ministerial office.
You will be relied upon to have an excellent understanding of existing government and public service protocols and processes which enable effective decision making. As someone who is able to think on your feet, solving a multitude of issues at any given point you will be able to use your knowledge and experience to help drive the Government's plan forward. Your communication skills and ability to quickly build effective working relationships within the Minister's team, peers and key stakeholders will result in you being sought out as a credible and reliable expert.

The Minister values and requires a high level of trust and self-management, allowing you to work independently while contributing to team results. It is essential you keep the Minister and staff informed of issues that impact on the workings of Government. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills along with attention to detail are essential. A relevant tertiary qualification and/or previous experience working in a ministerial office or Government department are highly desirable. Equally desirable is working knowledge of the Minister's portfolios.
If you can interpret a wide range of information and resolve complex issues under pressure, this role may be just the next career move you are looking for.
