Mō te tūranga mahi | About the role
We are looking for an experienced Senior Policy Analyst to join our high-performing and dynamic Climate Change Directorate, within the International Carbon Markets (ICM) team.
The Paris Agreement recognises that countries will work together to reduce emissions. By working together, countries can achieve more mitigation than would be possible acting alone. Aotearoa New Zealand has signalled its intention to increase climate change mitigation by recently updating its climate target, and is exploring options for accessing international emission reductions with environmental integrity that will complement domestic action.
You will be responsible for engaging with potential international partners and assessing cooperation and investment proposals to access high quality international emission reductions.
This role will require you to work closely with a number of teams in the Business Group, but will have a strong outward facing focus too, including with the UNFCCC, other countries' governments, commercial entities, international organisations, iwi/Māori, central government agencies including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This is a permanent, full-time position, however, we are open to someone joining us on a secondment basis. The role may require international travel and will require some work outside of normal business hours.

- experience in investment analysis and an understanding of broader processes leading to commercial decisions
- an understanding of emission reduction projects and activities would be desirable
- an ability to translate complex information in a synthesised way for senior leaders and Ministers
- excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate effectively (both written and verbal), at all levels across government, and internationally/ cross culturally
- an understanding of international fora e.g. multilateral or trade agreements, or of international policy
- an ability to work under-pressure, in a fast-paced environment
- an agile and adaptive approach, with a desire to make a difference
- an ability to provide coaching advice to other team members and to work collaboratively with colleagues
- a commitment to developing your cultural capability and capacity in te ao Māori.

Whānuitanga Utu ā-Tau | Salary range
