Mō tēnei tūrangi mahi | About this role
We are looking for an experienced Senior Policy Analyst to join our high-performing and dynamic Climate Change Directorate, within the International Carbon Markets (ICM) team.
The Paris Agreement recognises that countries will work together to reduce emissions. By working together, countries can achieve more mitigation than would be possible acting alone. Aotearoa New Zealand has signalled its intention to increase climate change mitigation by recently updating its climate target, and is exploring options for accessing offshore mitigation with environmental integrity that will complement domestic action.
You will be responsible for contributing to the policy work needed to secure market access to high quality offshore mitigation.
This role will require you to work closely with a number of teams in the Business Group, but will have a strong outward facing focus too, including with the UNFCCC, other countries' governments, iwi/Māori, central government agencies including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, industry groups and the private sector.
This is a permanent, full-time position, however, we are open to someone joining us on a secondment basis. The role may require international travel and will require some work outside of normal business hours.
Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and experience
We are looking for someone with experience in policy development and implementation who can deliver quality work in a fast-paced environment.

**You will also bring**:

- experience providing policy advice to senior leaders and Ministers
- experience of working on carbon markets, either from a policy or private sector perspective
- experience working in international fora e.g. multilateral or trade agreements, or on international policy
- a thorough understanding of Government and Parliamentary processes
- a proven track record of delivering complex analytical projects with a structured, enquiring and analytical approach to problem-solving
- an ability to develop strategic policy and to lead strategic conversations internally and externally
- proven skills of persuasion, influence and negotiation
- an agile and adaptive approach, with a desire to make a difference
- excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate effectively (both written and verbal), at all levels across government, the public and private sector, and internationally/ cross culturally
- an ability to provide coaching advice to other team members and to work collaboratively with colleagues
- a commitment to developing your cultural capability and capacity in te ao Māori.

Whānuitanga Utu ā-Tau | Salary range
Salary range for this role is $101,802 to $124,424 pa as at July 21. Appointment within this range will be based on skills and experience.
