3 days ago

Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

**Role type**: Permanent, full-time

**Location**: Wellington

**Salary band**: $92,073 to $124,570 depending on skills and experience

Do you love forests and want to be part of a team that has a positive and lasting impact for New Zealand's climate change outcomes?
Are you excited to play a leading role in developing and implementing evidence-based policy?
The Ministry for Primary Industries is currently recruiting for a Senior Operational Policy Analyst to join our new Maximising Carbon Programme within our wider Te Uru Rākau - New Zealand Forest Service business unit.

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the Role
The Maximising Forest Carbon Programme is a $30 million research and policy programme which aims to improve the way we measure carbon in our native and exotic forests. Improved measurement opens opportunities to make changes to the ETS that recognise, reward and incentivise carbon storage in a wider range of forests, helping New Zealand meet its climate change commitments. The Programme is led by Te Uru Rakau - New Zealand Forest Service in collaboration with the Department of Conservation and the Ministry for the Environment.
The Senior Operational Policy Analyst (Maximising Carbon) is responsible for leading the design of evidence-led policy interventions and providing policy advice to Ministers and Cabinet on:

- Regulatory changes to the ETS to implement improved forest carbon storage data and measurement methods;
- Potential legislative changes to the ETS needed to effectively recognise and incentivise carbon storage in forests not currently covered by the scheme;
- Potential pathways for recognising carbon storage in a wider range of forests internationally; and
- The likely economic, environmental, social, and cultural impacts, and trade-offs of different options to better recognise carbon stock changes in forests.

This role is highly collaborative and involves working closely with the wider Maximising Forest Carbon Programme staff, partner agencies, policy and operational staff, tangata whenua and forestry stakeholders to deliver practical regulatory advice.

Mōu - About You
As a Senior Operational Policy Analyst you will have strong analytical and written communication skills, an ability to develop collaborative working relationships with a range of stakeholders, and experience in gathering, organising, and communicating technical information.
You will have a strong regulatory, policy or operational policy background, and you will be able to take a lead role in the team. Knowledge of forestry, ETS, or climate change issues is desirable but not essential.

Mō tō mātou rōpū - About our team
We are a new project team spanning multiple disciplines within Te Uru Rakau - New Zealand Forest Service. The Policy & Innovation workstream sits within the ETS operational policy function of the Forestry & Land Management directorate.
The directorate covers a range of regulatory and operational responsibilities for forestry in the ETS, with a focus on New Zealand's climate change responsibilities.
