Hamilton, New Zealand LGJobs Full time

Kia ora, Talofa lava, Bula, Malo e lelei and Hello Local Government New Zealand is working in proud partnership with Hauraki District Council (HDC) on this critical role.

In accordance with the Local Government Act, this role is offered as a fixed-term for a 5 year period.

**Kō wai mātou | About Hauraki District Council**

Here is your opportunity to make a real difference in the community, working to deliver the essential services that make the Hauraki District a great place to live. The Hauraki District is made up of 3 main wards, with over 20 villages/settlements, accessible to beautiful beaches, walkways, cycle tracks and easy access to major cities.

HDC provides services across a range of areas including roading, waters, parks and recreation, libraries, cemeteries, animal management, rubbish and recycling, community events and so much more

The Council is also responsible for ensuring that all activities are conducted with a Te Ao Māori lens, building strong relationships with Iwi, Hapū and other Māori/Māori organisations.

**Te ahuatanga a te tūranga | About the role**

The Chief Executive at HDC reports to the Council through the Mayor. The CE has 5 direct reports, and indirectly leads a team of around 230 people. The CE is responsible for an operating budget of approximately $58mil, and a capital budget of approximately $38mil.

The CE is responsible for the delivery of HDCs Strategic Plan, including all Council operations. The role acts as a strategic advisor to the Mayor and Council.

The CE leads in a way that embodies the HDC values of Kōreorero (Communication), Whakaute (Respect), Manawanui (Commitment) and Ngākau reka (Positive Attitude) that form the core of how HDC kaimahi carry out their mahi and conduct interactions with others. These values shape the culture of HDC and demonstrates what is important within HDC. This is ‘The Hauraki Way’.

**Ko koe tēnei | About you**

You will be a senior leader, with demonstrated experience in developing and leading high performing teams. You will be financially competent, have experience in developing and delivering to strategic plans, and working with a governing body.

Experience in local government processes would be an advantage but it is not necessary - political awareness and sensitivity is a must as is experience working in a complex and regulated environment.

Most importantly, you will be invested in the Hauraki District, and either reside within the district or nearby.

**What next?**

Please note, we are only able to consider people who have the right to live and work in Aotearoa New Zealand.
