You will be a key point of contact for ngā hapū me ngā iwi o Ngāpuhi seeking to resolve their historical grievances through negotiations with the Crown. You and your team will also work with relevant government agencies through all stages of the Treaty settlement process.

The appointing salary for this role will be between $124,397 and $173,973, depending on skills and experience.
