- Changes to the Skilled Residence pathways that allow migrants to stay permanently in New Zealand
- Developing a framework for understanding and responding to the impacts of skilled immigration policies in changing economic, labour market and policy contexts
- Reviewing family and partnership settings including family violence situations, disability settings, and assessing genuine relationships
- Supporting Immigration New Zealand in refining its regulatory and processing processes
- Contributing to strategic and regulatory stewardship work to provide a cohesive view of the immigration system.

The Skills and Residence teams works alongside two other Immigration Policy teams (Border and Funding, International and Humanitarian) and the three teams regularly come together to share ideas and discuss key topics. All team members have opportunities to engage with Ministers, industry, and communities. We work closely with a range of other internal and external stakeholders including other policy teams and service delivery arms within MBIE.

You will be a key partner with other managers in the branch to support their work programmes and to take a broader view, as well as being able to lead and represent MBIE externally in policy and research activities. You will be very customer focused and a team player.
