About Callaghan Innovation

Callaghan Innovation is New Zealand’s innovation agency. We activate innovation and help businesses grow
for a better New Zealand.

To do this we partner with ambitious businesses of all sizes, delivering a range of innovation and research and development (R&D) services to suit each stage of their growth. Our staff - including more than 200 of New Zealand’s leading scientists and engineers - empower innovators by connecting people, opportunities and networks, while providing tailored technical solutions, skills and capability development programmes, and grants co-funding.

We also enhance the operation of New Zealand’s innovation ecosystem, working closely with MBIE, NZTE,
NZVIF, Crown Research Institutes, and other organisations that help increase business investment in R&D and innovation. Our people operate from five urban offices and a regional partner network in a further 12 locations across Aotearoa.

**About the Role**

You will be part of the Government Engagement Team that sits within the Māori & Government Engagement
Team. Ministerial Servicing is a small, agile function responsible for day-to-day advice to the Minister for
Research, Science and Innovation and our Executive Leadership Team. Key deliverables include briefings,
talking points, Official Information Act responses, Parliamentary Questions, official correspondence, corporate reporting and other products.

You will be responsible for working closely with the Ministerial Servicing Lead and Ministerial Coordinator, while collaborating with the Minister's office, MBIE (as Callaghan Innovation’s monitoring agency), as well as engagement across government and the private sector. Key tasks will be to ensure the Minister and their team are kept informed about Callaghan Innovation’s activities, and that our statutory requirements in relation to OIAs and other Ministerial Services responsibilities are being fulfilled. Working in a dynamic environment, you will utilise your strong writing skills and attention to detail to deliver high quality and ‘on-point’ advice, while juggling multiple demands and deadlines.. You will also be skilled at building and managing internal and external relationships to deliver on the information needs of the Minister and organisation.

For the Senior role, leadership skills, including a proven ability to mentor junior staff while standing in for the Ministerial Servicing Lead as required, will be essential.

Callaghan Innovation is committed to creating an environment for our people to do their best work - this
includes providing opportunities for ongoing personal and professional development. This position description is not intended to be an exhaustive list of tasks, but to act as a guide as to the main duties and responsibilities of the position.
