- A permanent position for a full time Principal Policy Advisor is available in the Small Business and Manufacturing Policy Team
- Wellington-based role, open to Auckland and Christchurch depending on skills and experience
- Salary range: $132,417 - $160,472 plus KiwiSaver and wellness benefit
**Tenei turanga - About the Role**:
MBIE's Small Business and Manufacturing policy team is seeking an experienced Principal Policy Advisor.
The Small Business and Manufacturing policy functions have recently been brought together into one team, to reflect the creation of a new ministerial portfolio covering both areas. This makes it an exciting time to join our team - you will be able to help shape our work programme and contribute to building a supportive and enjoyable team culture.
Our team works closely with the other policy teams that focus on growing New Zealand's economy, both in MBIE and more widely across government. We work alongside the operational teams that deliver programmes and underpinning infrastructure for small businesses such as the Regional Business Partners, Business Connect, the New Zealand Business Number and business.govt.nz. Our team also provides time-critical policy advice when required, for example, on business support grants following Cyclone Gabrielle.
This broad mandate provides scope to work on sector specific issues, design operational levers, and on the broader commercial environment that enables businesses to succeed.
The Small Business and Manufacturing Policy team sits in MBIE's Commerce, Consumer and Business Branch. We are the Government's lead advisor on the commercial environment in which all New Zealand businesses and consumers operate.
**Why work for our Branch?**
You will get to mix both strategic and regulatory thinking helping us to encourage businesses to compete, innovate, invest and trade, as well as increase business and consumer confidence in market. This will place you at the forefront of fresh thinking to ensure New Zealand has adequate commercial laws, policies and infrastructure for our businesses to flourish. You will be doing this in a supportive environment within a branch that empowers its staff to make decisions, supports them to build and use their cultural capability, and takes the time to celebrate its successes and grow its people to the next stage of their careers.
**Nga pukenga me nga wheako e hiahiatia ana - Skills and Experience Required**
We are looking for motivated people with experience in solving tricky policy problems and formulating high-quality policy and regulatory advice for a range of issues and projects.
For the role of Principal Policy Advisor you will support the overall capability of the team, and be responsible for:
- Partnering with policy manager to drive the strategic policy agenda and set the direction for the team's policy domain.
- Providing authoritative policy advice and leading programmes of work and project teams on complex and sensitive areas.
- Influencing on domain topics through engagement and communication with senior stakeholders.
- Enhancing the overall capability of the team through guiding and mentoring senior advisors and advisors in their day to day work.
- Discrete policy issues, and contributing to larger, more complex projects where others have the accountability for the delivery of outputs.
**Etahi korero mo MBIE - About MBIE**:
