Fixed term 1 Year
Wellington (other locations may be considered)

**Salary range**: $82,817 - $110,634 depending on skills and experience

Kōrero mō te Tūranga - About the Role
This is an important role which supports billions of dollars of exports within the Food and Live Animal Assurance team at MPI.
The core function of this team is to develop, maintain and revise the legal requirements which enable government to government assurances for export products.
The Assurance directorate works to uphold and deliver high quality export assurance systems, and provide accurate advice to businesses on what they need to do to export their products.
As a senior adviser you will work with a range of different stakeholders. This will include food industry organisations and businesses; other MPI teams like Market Access and Food Regulation; and other government departments. You will have or build relationships with businesses like meat processors, dairy processors, and honey exporters. Ideally you will come with a great understanding of the needs of our major international trading partners.
You will be comfortable working with stakeholders to ensure that the assurance system supports primary product exports. You will make important Contributions to the Assurance Quality Management System, and ensure procedures and processes are adhered to and up to date.
