Wellington City, New Zealand DairyNZ Full time

Are you a strategic leader with a passion for purposeful work that protects our New Zealand primary sector and communities? Here's your chance to make a real impact, supported by a high performing team all focussed on leaving New Zealand’s dairy sector stronger for the next generation.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a passionate individual to provide leadership in supporting and implementing our biosecurity strategy, while working for an industry that plays a crucial role in New Zealand's economy and feeding our communities.

As a leader in animal and/or plant biosecurity and health, you will create value for the dairy industry by developing and driving biosecurity strategic and system level initiatives across risk assessment and risk mitigation programmes and supporting and co-ordinating policy responses to biosecurity issues.

Essential is an understanding of strategic biosecurity issues, solutions, and legislation relevant to dairying in New Zealand together with specialist technical knowledge and experience in biosecurity and/or pest management, policy development, veterinary science, or plant biology. Co-ordinating responses involves relationship and stakeholder engagement as well as collaboration, so a track record in successfully influencing across multiple stakeholder groups at a senior level is vital. A practical, on-farm approach, understanding of financials/funding systems and the ability to translate concepts and ideas into useable resources is also key. Project management and board reporting/governance experience would be an advantage.

As an organisation, we are proactive about our people’s health and well-being, including flexible work arrangements and offer access to a wide range of staff benefits, including strong learning and development programmes.

This is a great opportunity to grow your leadership career. Take advantage of all this opportunity presents, you’ve got a big part to play in our success, just as we have in yours
