- Work directly to combat climate change
- Flexible working to support your work-life balance

Mō te tūranga mahi | About the role
Emissions pricing, and the development and maintenance of climate market mechanisms to achieve our emissions goals, are central to Aotearoa New Zealand's climate response. There is an active policy work programme underway across a range of market mechanisms including the ETS, agricultural emissions pricing and the voluntary carbon market.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Policy Analyst to join our high-performing and welcoming Climate Markets directorate; working with colleagues across the Climate Business Group on a range of policy projects related to emissions pricing.

**Key areas of focus of the roles include**:

- supporting policy analysis and modelling on the role of price in driving energy and transport sector emission reduction, as well as carbon removals like forestry
- drafting Ministerial briefs, Cabinet papers, Regulatory Impact Statements and discussion documents
- engaging with and consulting iwi/Māori and ETS stakeholders (other agencies and external parties)
- providing leadership and coaching/mentoring others to build capability within the team

You will work closely with teams in the Climate Business Group, but also work closely with other agencies, iwi, business, local government and multiple stakeholders.
This is an opportunity for you to play a key role to influence positive change and work alongside talented people who are passionate about safeguarding our environment.
Although this is a permanent role, we are open to someone joining us on a fixed term or secondment basis.

- understanding of the following would be advantageous (but not necessary):

- domestic and international energy and/or transport sectors
- the ETS and/or other emissions pricing mechanisms
- a thorough understanding of Government and Parliamentary processes
- comfortable dealing with technical data and concepts, ambiguity and embrace complexity
- ability to proactively review, monitor and report any risks

- excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate effectively (both written and verbal), at all levels across government, the public and private sector
- ability to manage competing deadlines and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment
