Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Ko wai mātou | About us
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) provides national leadership to New Zealand's distributed emergency management system. NEMA's primary focus is on the performance and capability of the emergency management system as a whole, across all hazards and all risks and the 4 Rs of risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery.
NEMA values diversity and inclusion. We want our workforce to reflect the diversity of our communities. We value and respect the contributions of our people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and perspectives. We support flexible ways of working that bring out the best in you.
We are committed to doing our part to deliver on the Crown's commitments to Māori under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We strive to actively build te Ao Māori perspectives and capability into our day to day work, values and practices.
Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role
In this role you will lead and manage an effective Unit responsible for developing and lifting the capability of NEMA's regional partnerships and engagement with the emergency management system. You will develop, manage and maintain effective strategic relationships and key partnerships within the EM system and provide influential leadership, including at the most senior levels, at the interface between local and central government.

The Regional Partnerships Unit / Tari o Ngā Hononga ā-Rohe leads, builds and strengthens New Zealand's regional partnerships across the emergency management system in New Zealand.

As NEMA is an operational agency, there may be a requirement to respond to emergency activations in the event of a national emergency response. This may include potentially long hours and challenging working conditions, e.g. an emergency could occur at any time of the day or night and may require working shifts and/or working weekends. NEMA provides thorough training prior to you being required to assist in a response. NEMA will do all in its power to support staff in meeting their work and family responsibilities during an emergency. The welfare and wellbeing of our staff is of upmost importance.

Due to the nature of our role in Emergency Management, NEMA has a very dynamic work environment and as a small agency, staff are often required to pivot and change focus on their work at short notice. Attributes of adaptability, agility, resilience and curiosity are all required on a daily basis, in and out of times of emergency response.

Ko wai koe | About you
- Agility, curiosity, adaptability and resilience
- Proven experience building and leading high-performing teams
- Extensive experience in leading the successful delivery of high-quality outputs and outcomes within the CDEM sector
- Proven experience in emergency management or a related field
- Sound knowledge of the CDEM Act 2002, the National CDEM Plan and its Supporting Plans and understanding of the National Security System model and the national framework for CDEM
- A relevant tertiary qualification OR an equivalent body of knowledge and experience
- Proven experience of EM sector relationship management including persuading, influencing, building and maintaining effective collaborative relationships in complex and ambiguous environments

Huanga Whaiaro | Key requirements
- Exceptional relationship management and influencing skills
- Communication skills, able to communicate with authority and effectively at a high level, including advanced writing and presentation skills
- Understanding and ability to work in a complex and politically sensitive environment
- An ability to deliver high quality work output under pressure and at fast pace
- Outstanding judgement with the ability to make effective decisions in complex situations
- Action orientation and able to respond decisively in a crisis situation.

Ta matou e tuku | What we offer
We pride ourselves on the quality of our staff and understand the importance of fostering a working environment where excellence is recognised and where staff are encouraged to develop their own talents and potential. We welcome diversity, in all its forms and we believe it is a strength.
NEMA values staff health, safety and wellbeing, and a positive work life balance is encouraged.
The salary band for this position is Band 21 with a midpoint of $223,725 including Kiwisaver employer contributions.
