Kōrero mō te Tūranga - About the Role
This is an exciting time to join our growing Regulatory Support and Performance team at MPI. The volume and range of food imported into New Zealand continues to increase each year, with products coming from more diverse markets.
New Zealand Food Safety introduced a Food Act Levy earlier in the year to fund new services required to support a robust food safety system including measures for monitoring high risk foods and take steps necessary to protecting public health.
What we're striving to achieve is a dedicated level of service to support our Importers, which includes focusing on areas such as:

- Educating Importers and providing service design improvements to make technical and regulatory information easier to understand through a variety of channels, tools and information services to make access more self accessible.
- Engagement with our stakeholders through facilitating events or webinars which can identity pain points and how we can support them.
- Advisory services to provide tailored, timely advice and being that gateway in to interpreting regulations and how to navigate the system. To provide information on requirements, constraints, and available options to our customers.

All the while collaborating with other teams in New Zealand Food Safety to identify trends, issues, patterns and pain points for sectors and businesses and receive advice from the technical experts to support any response to identified patterns or issues that importers.
