The Ministry for Primary Industries are currently recruiting for a Senior Operational Policy Analyst to join our Forestry System directorate which forms part of our wider Te Uru Rākau - New Zealand Forest Service business unit.

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the Role
This role is part of the National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry regulations programme to progress development and implementation of a range of measures, including:

- Technical amendments to the regulations for improved environmental outcomes; and
- Delivering the policy and regulatory changes post-consultation.

As a Senior Operational Policy Analyst, you will lead the delivery of components of the work programme for the Operational Policy - Forestry and Resource Management team:

- Develop and implement regulations that operationalise the policy decisions; and
- Develop and implement a suite of new operational policies, processes, and procedures to make the new provisions operational for stakeholders.

The role is highly collaborative and involves working closely with our policy staff and partner agencies to develop regulations and operational policies to implement the new provisions in the legislation. It also involves working with forestry stakeholders and Treaty partners to design and deliver new guidance material to help people to understand the changes.
This role is dynamic and involves a range of different work streams. Core responsibilities of Senior Operational Policy Analysts in the team include:

- Link high level strategy and legislative intent and operational implementation.
- Develop regulations and operational policies to implement legislative provisions to strengthen environmental outcomes from forestry, including public consultation.
- Provide operational policy and implementation advice to senior leaders and Ministers.
- Work with a wide range of external stakeholders to design and deliver guidance on provisions to strengthen the environmental outcomes of forestry practices.
- Work with internal stakeholders to design and deliver new regulations, operational policies, and processes to implement new forestry policy for improved environmental outcomes for forestry.

Mōu - About You
To excel in this role, you will have strong analytical and written communication skills, an ability to develop collaborative working relationships with a range of stakeholders, and a customer-centric work ethic. An understanding of Te Ao Māori and Māori land use and forestry interests, as well as the role of plantation forestry in addressing climate change will be an advantage.
As a Senior Operational Policy Analyst, you will have a strong policy, operational policy, or implementation background, and you will be able to take a lead role in the team. You will be able to quickly understand and critically analyse technical concepts and communicate to a broad range of audiences. You will also need to demonstrate a strong ability to establish and maintain effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders, colleagues, and senior management. Previous experience in stakeholder consultation and co-design is desired.
