Mōhou ake | About you

**To thrive in this role you will hold a dual passion for**:
*
- The potential of evidence and analysis to contribute to better decisions that deliver equitable and excellent outcomes; and
- The opportunity afforded to Managers to build and maintain positive and productive cultures and operating models that enable all team members to grow and succeed.

Managers in our group are expected to prioritise people leadership. Your number one responsibility will be to actively support the development of staff members, and to foster a culture in which everyone's voice is heard and valued, wellbeing is paramount, and inclusive practices drive continuous improvement and high performance. You will have an opportunity to contribute to our wider management cohort in leading the development of group strategy and improvement initiatives.
You will have a team of highly capable analysts to undertake the detailed number-crunching, but you will enjoy overseeing and guiding this work if you are highly numerate and comfortable dealing with financial information, can use strategic thinking and communication skills to build bridges between complementary political, technical and operational perspectives, and have a flair for coming up with innovative analytical approaches to novel challenges.
Detailed knowledge of forecasting and financial analysis is not a pre-requisite but would be a significant advantage.
