What: 3 Year Fixed Term Contract

Where: Wellington

**We’re all about endless potential**:
We’re the team in charge of empowering New Zealand’s digital future. A future few can imagine. It started with the roll-out of our once in a hundred year network. But there’s much more to come as we keep pushing what’s possible, providing unlimited access to an ever-evolving range of innovative products and services. Technology that’ll support, inspire and connect people and businesses for generations.

To that end, we need more curious, collaborative and forward-thinking people. Because while we’re busy improving our national network, we’ll need more of the best to join our truly inclusive workforce, one where you’ll be made to feel you belong, and that everything you do is valued (because you do, and it is).

As for our culture. Our people say it’s one of the best around. We’re proud of that. And with our Chorus Care package benefits behind you too, you’ll have everything you need to seize this opportunity and make it your own.

- Work with business teams to develop fit for purpose and best practice expenditure forecasts including good modelling practice and clearly documenting methods, inputs, assumptions, judgements.
- Support testing of forecasts through internal review, assurance, independent verification, Commerce Commission evaluation and approval processes.
- Capture and communicate insights to assist the business to interpret and understand approved allowances, regulatory settings, and Commission expectations.
- Contribute to development of stakeholder consultation materials and price quality (PQ) proposals to the Commerce Commission

To set you up for success you’ll need:

- Experience preparing expenditure forecasts in a regulatory or business context
- Experience working within a large or complex organisation
- Degree in economics, accounting, engineering, or similar
- Strong numeracy and ability to understand financial models, capture insights and concisely communicate findings
