Auckland City, New Zealand Sheffield Full time

Auckland
- **Drive the social, cultural, environmental, economic future of Tamaki Makaurau.**:

- **Highly impactful leadership role of significant scale and complexity.**:

- **Serving Aucklanders; responding to significant challenges and opportunities.**

**Mo matou ¦ About **the Organisation**

As New Zealand’s largest urban area, Auckland accounts for 33 per cent of the country’s population and 38 per cent of its GDP which, given its size, has a direct impact on the wellbeing of New Zealand.

Driven by a vision to create a fit for purpose entity, Auckland Council was formed in November 2010 through the amalgamation of eight local government authorities, becoming the largest council in Australasia. Its unique governance structure includes a Governing Body that makes region-wide decisions and 21 local boards which make decisions at a local level. The council provides a single voice for Auckland on region-wide issues while allowing for local empowerment.

While Auckland has had an enviable growth trajectory, the recent impacts of COVID, Cyclone Gabrielle, and flooding have placed significant demands on the city’s infrastructure, transport, and housing needs. At the same time, pressure on Auckland’s financial position is increasing.

**He angitutanga ¦ The opportunity**

The role of Chief Executive is pivotal to navigating Auckland through its social, economic, and environmental challenges and opportunities.

Integral to this will be working with the Mayor, elected members, council-controlled organisations (CCOs) and stakeholders to achieve the council’s strategic objectives; with a focus on cost containment, getting the city moving and making the most of the city’s harbour and natural environment.

The role is accountable for fostering a culture of high-performing and engaged teams to deliver valued customer and community services and a significant capital investment programme.

**He korero mou ¦ About you**

An energetic and inspirational leader is sought with a track record at Chief Executive level of leading large, diverse, and high-performing teams.

The role requires someone with a strong commercial orientation who is decisive and courageous, with a collaborative and inclusive leadership style.

Proven experience in local government, complex multi-stakeholder and/or central government environments will be key, as will be the strategic agility to help steer an organisation through the ever-changing landscape that local authorities operate in.

Other experience and competencies sought, include:

- A proven track record of successfully delivering significant transformation programmes and exposure to leading large complex capital projects.
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills and the ability to initiate and maintain strategic relationships that assist in advancing the goals of an organisation.
- The political acuity to create a strong, productive relationship between elected members and staff.
- The ability to work in a high-profile role with strong public, community, and stakeholder interface.
- Experience in effectively working with Maori and understanding their economic, environmental, cultural, and social aspirations.
- A solid understanding of the New Zealand public sector, the concept of public good and the democratic process.

**Benefits**

Along with this being a challenging and rewarding role, you will be leading Australasia’s largest and most complex local authority. With an experienced leadership team in place, you will be able to make your mark and leave a lasting legacy on the country’s largest city.
