**Tēnei tūranga - About the Role**:
Positive change is in motion. But to ensure we maintain the right momentum, expertise and energy to deliver meaningful change for society and a nationwide scale, we need the right people onboard as part of our mission. And that's where you come in. Bring your passion, experience and drive and contribute to a truly worthwhile purpose - influencing and shaping positive change across the motu, for all New Zealanders.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead the Discovery and Service Design team tasked with translating strategy and policy into ready-to-go service designs. While this role is part of New Zealand Government Procurement (NZGP) within MBIE, you don’t need to be a procurement professional.
You get to build and then lead a flexible team of service design experts. You will design and deliver best-practice discovery, feasibility and service design practices and frameworks within NZGP.

This role reports to the Head of System Improvement and Engagement within NZGP, as part of a newly formed team focused on engaging with the procurement system to drive cultural and behavioural change.
