As part of New Zealand Customs Service, the Human Source Unit (HSU) manages covert relationships to gather intelligence that helps us understand and target cross-border crime.

This role has a variety of functions from identifying potential human sources through to supporting and/or managing sources and collecting intelligence. This role is Auckland based.

**About this role| Mō tēnei tūranga mahi**

We're looking for someone who is passionate about protecting our border by meeting a range of contacts and sources to produce high impact intelligence.

- Strong communication skills, verbal and written with the ability to appeal to a wide audience.
- A strong ability for self-reflection and be open to learning new skills.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret* level security clearance.

You will need to demonstrate a growth mind-set in order to become a HUMINT practitioner and gain a deep understanding of risk within HUMINT collection operations.

Additionally, you will need to remain calm and composed under pressure and adapt quickly and easily to change. You will need to be able to comfortably fit in with a wide range, and different types of people, building and managing positive, open relationships as well as having sound judgement, which you'll use to handle sensitive information and situations.
