**Tēnei tūranga - About the role**:
We are looking for Senior Policy Advisors to join the Employment Relations Policy Team in MBIE’s Workplace, Relations and Safety branch. The team develops advice and provides analysis on the employment relations system, including its core regulatory framework and settings. Our work is all about the relationship between employers and workers. It is often high profile, involves really interesting trade-offs, and is usually fast paced. Our team is supportive and close-knit.
We have a range of exciting opportunities in the team. You will be able to play a lead role in the areas that we are currently working on, or that are on the horizon, such as Fair Pay Agreements, bullying and harassment at work, addressing gender and ethnic pay gaps through pay transparency, and looking at our dispute resolution system. z
The other teams in the Workplace Relations and Safety branch work on policy projects relating to international labour, health and safety, employment standards and accident compensation. We work in a collaborative environment to deliver the government’s priorities - with the wide variety of work across the branch there are often development [opportunities] to work with other teams on projects that will help you grow and build your experience and work towards your career goals.

What can we offer
Our work is interesting, high-priority and can result in big impacts for everyday New Zealanders. Our projects often involve regulatory change so you will get the opportunity to be involved in government and parliamentary processes, and in policies which will make a difference in the lives of people at work.

We have a flat structure where you will be talking directly to Ministers and stakeholders about your work. Our team works closely with our operational counterparts, so you’ll get good experience at making sure our policies are well implemented.

Some of our best people are part-time or work flexibly, and we are really open to those options.
