You are looking for that next step to hone your problem solving and strategic skills. You are a deep thinker with the intellectual curiosity that thrives on challenges.

Other skills, attributes and experience that will enable you to be successful in this role are as follows:

- Natural ability to think broadly, identify opportunities and issues, and make connections

- Attention to detail
- Ability to build relationships with Auckland Council’s partners and stakeholders

This is your opportunity to help shape Auckland's future by ensuring that the Auckland Plan 2050 remains at the forefront of council's strategic thinking and decisions. You will expand your network with a wide range of stakeholders across a broad portfolio of work. This bodes well for your future career
