Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Improving the performance of, and the public's trust in, the public sector
The Office of the Auditor-General | Te Mana Arotake(the Office) aims to improve trust and confidence in the public sector. The Auditor-General is an officer of Parliament and the statutory auditor of all public organisations. Because he sits outside Government, he is able to independent review the spending of public money and plays a major part in ensuring that New Zealand's public sector remains one of the most trusted in the world. No other organisation, public or private, has an overview of the whole public sector that the Office of the Auditor-General has.
We're looking for a Senior Inquiries Specialist to join our Inquiries team. The Inquiries team, which is part of the Legal, Policy, and Inquiries Group, carries out inquiries on behalf of the Auditor-General. This involves taking an independent, in-depth look at concerns in the public sector and at situations where something might have gone wrong or where money and resources might have been misused. Through this work, we have a unique opportunity to consider improvements to the public sector.
Our inquiries often cover complex and high-profile matters. To see some examples of our work, visit our website.

**As a Senior Inquiries Specialist, you'll be involved in**:

- assessing whether inquiries are warranted and making recommendations;
- taking responsibility for cases and leading larger prices of work;
- gathering information, analysing evidence, and preparing reports and other products;
- dealing with a wide range of issues, organisations, and people;
- meeting and discussing issues with staff from public organisations at all levels (including senior leadership);
- carrying out extensive interaction with affected parties and parties involved in inquiries to check findings are accurate and balanced and to meet natural justice requirements;
- providing guidance to members of the Inquiries team and other parts of the Office; and
- being responsible for certain parts of the Inquiries team's processes.

We're looking for someone with at least eight to 10 years' experience, preferably in the public sector.
A tertiary qualification in law, accounting, or other relevant discipline is essential.

**We offer our staff**:

- Learning and development opportunities.
- Supportive, flexible working.
- Health and well-being benefits.
- A unique operating environment with Parliament.

What we stand for
People matter | Our independence is critical | We act with integrity and courage | We're here to make a difference
Applications close Sunday 14 April 2024.
