We need a talented Senior Legal Adviser to join our GCSB Legal Team in Wellington.
We can't reveal all the details of what you'll get to work on - but it will be complex and challenging, covering a wide range of operational and administrative activities for the GCSB, including those of the utmost sensitivity.
