**Te Whiwhinga mahi'| The opportunity**

The purpose of Regulatory Performance and Insights is to provide hindsight, insight, foresight and oversight to enable the improvement of the effectiveness, efficiency, resilience and fairness of the whole of the land transport regulatory system. The team play a vital role in the success of both Te Rōpū Waeture and the Director of Land Transport role.

The power and value of the function sits in the collective of the work across the teams coming together to provide a full picture of the regulatory land transport system. To enable this, the teams within Regulatory Performance and Insights need to have a symbiotic relationship, recognising the interdependent and connected nature of their work. The Lead Advisor, Regulatory Performance and Insights plays a central, catalyst role for ensuring that this occurs - connecting the dots, facilitating the joining-up of work, working across the team to design our collective ways of working and ensuring that, across the group, the work is being delivered in the right way at the right time in the right way.

Those that work in Regulatory Performance and Insights are experts in what they do, and a key component of this role is supporting the quality review of our products. To enable this, the holder of this role needs to have a strong understanding and experience across a broad range of methodologies and approaches, including future focused intelligence, the creation of strong, evidence-based insights, evaluation and assurance, and performance monitoring. The right person for this role will be able to test that the right methodologies and approaches are being used, and the end products are both of high quality and bias-free, in a way that is constructive and mana-enhancing for the team.

Of course, being the Lead Advisor to the National Manager, Regulatory Performance and Insights means that you will need to support and provide strategic advice across the full breadth of their priorities. This means not only being across all of the work of the teams, but also developing clear and intentional plans to support and work alongside the leadership team driving the necessary culture post change, increasing engagement, and stakeholder engagement, as well as managing the multiple requests that come through to the National Manager, from reporting requirements to Ministerial briefings to contributing to cross-agency working groups and forums.

A high level of political nous is required to be successful in this role. That includes the ability to form good, positive relationships easily across a wide range of people, being able to have difficult conversations in a way that ensures all people are treated with respect, as well as being across all of the major priorities, risks and issues in the Land Transport system, making connections across these, and managing crises and urgent matters in a calm and clear manner with a focus on delivery, resolution and timeliness.

The ability to work as a part of and be respected by the wider Te Rōpū Waeture Group Leadership Team and their Lead Advisors is critical to the success of this role. Relationships will be forged through high quality delivery at pace and leading by example in living the NZTA values, alongside the te ao Māori principles and principles of regulatory good practice outlined in Tū ake, Tū maia.
