About us

The Ministry of Social Development is a people-centred organisation. We're in communities across the motu, working with partners to help New Zealanders be safe, strong and independent. We provide social policy and advice to government and assistance, including income, employment and housing support to people of all ages, families, whānau and communities. As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner we are committed to supporting and enabling Māori, whānau, hapū, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations. Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they are.

Principal Advisor, Information, Data, and Analytics, MSD - 18 Month Fixed Term

Opportunity for a Principal Advisor to support us in delivering a transformation of MSD's information, data, and analytics ecosystem as part of a larger transformation of the Ministry.
- Make a difference to our clients, partners, and staff
- Provide strategic leadership across Insights MSD
- Help teams deliver within a complex environment

About the Role
The Principal Advisor provides a strategic advice and support to the General Manager, Data Strategy & Transformation. The role includes providing strategic leadership across the full range of the ID&A team's activities, ensuring that we're delivering effectively on our commitments and remaining focussed on our priorities.
You'll also be responsible for our project reporting and the interface with the transformation programme office.
About You

**To be successful in this role, you will be/have**:

- An established record of operating and influencing and providing advice at a senior leadership level, demonstrating good judgement, intellectual flexibility and originality, and the capacity to think strategically
