- ** Support Change**: Analyse, consult and challenge business change or process design with a continuous improvement mindset.

We have a flexible approach to working in the office. To allow for meetings and a team vibe, we are usually in the office three days a week with the freedom to work from home and manage your hours in a balanced way.

**He kōrero mōu | About you**
