Mō te tūnga | About the role
New Zealand Police is the lead agency responsible for reducing crime and enhancing community safety. We work in partnership with individuals, communities, businesses, and other public sector agencies to achieve our vision of Safer Communities Together.
Following a recent realignment of the Police Commissioner’s executive structure, New Zealand Police have welcomed a new CFO to lead an enhanced Finance function. There are a number of Finance vacancies that the organisation has been holding during a period of change, but now the Police Executive have given the mandate and their support to drive the Finance team and their strategy forward.
The CFO and realigned Finance Leadership team now have a re-energized collective focus and have assessed the current state of the group to determine their initial priorities, in line with the organisations and new governments, and which roles are key to delivering these.
This role Senior Finance Business Partner is within a select group of critical roles necessary to help ensure Police remain fiscally sustainable, have access to high quality financial information and strategic advice, and have the financial literacy to allocate and use the limited public resources provided to Police wisely.
