Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

We have exciting opportunities for highly skilled and knowledgeable Principal Analyst or Senior Analyst to join us and create positive change for Aotearoa.
- Contribute to positive climate action in Aotearoa
- Join a team of climate change experts, thought leaders in their field
- Use your sharp mind and keen analytical skills in crucial and meaningful mahi

**About us**:
He Pou a Rangi | The Climate Change Commission (the Commission) is an Independent Crown Entity established under the Climate Change Response Act 2002.

We provide independent, expert advice to the Government of Aotearoa on both mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change, and we monitor and review the Government's progress towards its emissions reduction and adaptation goals. The Commission plays a key role in developing and implementing clear and stable climate change policies in Aotearoa.

Ngā Tūnga | The Role

The land and waste team are responsible for the commissions advice and engagement regarding the food and fibre sector and the waste sector.

We are looking for someone to advise on the complex and important interaction between agricultural and environmental policy. Agriculture will be profoundly affected by the transition to a low emissions economy and by the effects of a changing climate. Understanding the policy levers that drive the change in the sector is critical for us to advise how to transition to a thriving low-emissions, climate resilient future.

**You will have**:

- Good knowledge of the agriculture sector in New Zealand.
- A broad based understanding of agriculture would be an advantage, but sector specific knowledge (e.g. Dairy) would also be valuable.
- Understanding of the environmental policy landscape, including climate change policy.
- Understanding of the agricultural policy landscape
- Ability to lead complex pieces of policy advice

The role will be responsible for developing and leading the Commissions policy work in the agriculture portfolio. This includes questions of resource management, land-use change, emissions mitigations on-farm, emissions pricing, on-farm behaviour change, distribution of impacts and equity. The role will involve taking intellectual leadership of the direction of the Commission's agriculture advice, analysing trends and changes in the sector, plus managing relationships and engaging with stakeholders as the Commission's advice is developed.

You will lead or contribute to technical and policy analysis related to aspects of the Commission's work, working closely with others in the team and collaborating across the business. Your work will involve navigating complex issues, building and maintaining expertise, developing new frameworks and approaches. Your work will involve engagement with a wide set of stakeholders; engagement is at the heart of what we do. Your work will engage iwi/Māori in a manner that upholds Tikanga, grow your understanding of te ao maori, and recognise the Crown - Māori partnership under the Treaty of Waitangi.

This is a great opportunity to help shape the future of the agriculture sector in New Zealand.

**About you**:

- A relevant tertiary qualification, preferably post-graduate or equivalent experience
- Sound judgement and awareness of the context within which advice is formulated and communicated
- Strong logic and reasoning skills to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions
- Highly developed communication skills, both oral and written.
- Strong knowledge and experience of a range of research, evidence and analytical methods, including emerging and innovative approaches and frameworks
- Ability to lead and contribute to multiple pieces of work concurrently
- Ability to work within, and contribute to, team-based work
- Strong understanding of the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, te ao Māori and experience engaging with Iwi/Māori
- An understanding of government processes, systems and tools.
