Mō te tūnga | About the role

As one of the senior leaders working in the Assurance Group at Police National HQ, the Chief Advisor: Technology Assurance has the day-to-day business lead for considering the legal, security, privacy, human rights and ethical implications of new policing technology. At its heart, the role supports the safe and responsible use of Police-specific technology capabilities and acts as a ‘go to’ within Police on new and emerging technology matters.

While carrying significant responsibilities, the Chief Advisor: Technology Assurance role isn’t designed to work alone. In addition to supervising two Principal Advisors as part of a small Technology Assurance Team, the Chief Advisor is expected to work collaboratively with various other managers and teams across Police, as well as with external partners - including an independent panel of experts.
The tier four role is a direct report to Police’s Chief Assurance Officer. Together with several other senior managers, the Chief Advisor: Technology Assurance is part of the Assurance Group’s Senior Leadership Team.

He pūkenga tou | Skills and experience

**To be successful in this role, the Chief Advisor**: Technology Assurance will have:

- Knowledge of using policing technologies safely and responsibly, and an ability to identify ethical implications and bias
- An ability to conduct assessments and evaluations to identify technology-related risks and opportunities
- Understanding of business systems in large strategy-led organisations
- Significant experience working in technical, scientific or professionally aligned roles
- Experience working in a collective, collaborative, senior leadership environment, and the ability to influence at all levels
- Experience making sound decisions and judgements under pressure to resolve issues
- Political acumen and savvy to support robust and well-informed decision making
- Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills
- A commitment to developing and maintaining a culture of respect and inclusion within an organisation
- The ability to deliver high-quality presentations and effective communications to a range of stakeholders, including representing Police in a range of settings.
