Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Safe, reliable, and affordable drinking water, wastewater and stormwater underpins the health and wellbeing of all our communities. Large-scale, once-in-a lifetime reform is being undertaken to ensure that all in Aotearoa have affordable ongoing access to safe drinking water and more environmentally friendly wastewater and stormwater services.

Join us as we embark on Aotearoa's largest transformational reform programme, Three Waters.

The scale of the Three Waters reform programme means you'll work as a member of a handpicked team that is working across a range of challenging issues critical to reform implementation - spanning areas of corporate governance and management, pricing and economic regulation, infrastructure planning and investment, and system stewardship and monitoring. The knowledge and experience you'll gain in contributing to this high-profile reform will have the power to transform your career.

The work is ground-breaking, vital and incredibly visible both within Government, and in the wider community. You'll know what you're doing matters - it's meaningful and will and make a real difference to the economic, health and social wellbeing of New Zealanders for years to come.

Right now, we're seeking 1x CFO/Chief Advisor (Lead) and 3x CFO/Chief Advisors to join us in fixed term roles within our Finance and Commercial function of the National Transition Unit (NTU). The CFO/Chief Advisor operates as an expert CFO/Partner level consultant responsible for delivering highly complex assignments and projects which fall within the scope of the Financial and Commercial workstream.

The Lead role includes the additional portfolio responsibility to oversee the portfolio of assignments being delivered by the CFO and Chief Adviser team and ensure that the deliverables seamlessly integrate into the wider workstream plan.

If you have the following skills and experience, we would really like to hear from you:

- C-level experience as a CFO, Chief Strategy Officer or Chief Transformation Officer (or similar roles) in a large, complex group of companies or organisations.
- Deep experience overseeing large accounting divisions, major transformation initiatives or working as a CEO's right hand strategy officer.
- Previous experience leading high performing cross functional teams, with a demonstrated ability to deliver in challenging circumstances.
- Previous experience of leading top priority organisation projects spanning multiple functions
- Previous experience of working with C-Level cross functional internal and external executives to deliver exceptional outcomes through outstanding collaboration and influence.

We are an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. We recognise a diverse workforce contributes to better business outcomes. We are committed to creating a workplace where all employees have equal access.
