- Do you want to join a small team of smart, committed people who do interesting work for New Zealand
The Local Government Commission is an independent body established by legislation and its main roles are to promote good local government, make decisions on the structure of local authorities and their electoral representation.
As a Senior Advisor you will manage the end to end process of, and provide advice to the Commissioners on local government reorganisations, representation arrangements and other areas of interest to the Commission. On any given day you might be:
- Providing high-quality evaluative thinking and evidence-informed analysis and advice to the Commission
- Engaging with local communities and a wide range of stakeholders to build and maintain relationships or investigate issues
- Working with colleagues to deliver on the shared work programme
- Scoping and evaluating a governance issue, a reorganisation initiative or a representation proposal including the development of timelines, consultation processes, risk analysis and resourcing requirements
The dynamic of working for an independent body which also forms part of a larger whole is fascinating. To succeed in this role you must have:
- Knowledge of local government legislation, governance, management, processes, decision making systems and representation arrangements for a local authority
- Ability to relate to and gain the confidence of diverse stakeholders, including local authorities, iwi/hapu, community groups, elected members and chief executives
- Understanding of te ao Māori and the ability to provide cultural guidance to Commissioners
The people who make up the Commission are based across the country and much of our work is conducted virtually so you may be located anywhere in New Zealand. However, travel for some in-person engagements is required.
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.
