The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) provides national leadership to New Zealand's distributed emergency management system.

Attributes of adaptability, agility, resilience and curiosity are all required on a daily basis, in and out of times of emergency response.**

- Experience or skills working in multi-stakeholder coordination roles.
- Excellent soft skills in networking and leading groups.

- Excellent communication skills, with an ability to review Cabinet papers, present/brief to various audiences, write useful guidance/advice and explain complex topics clearly.

**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.
