Te tūnga | The role
This role is 12 - 18 months fixed term based in our National Office in Wellington. Reporting to the Chief of Staff within the Office of the Chief Executive, you will work within the newly established Governance and Accountability team, which provides support to ERO's senior leadership. You'll have considerable input into how we deliver on our government, governance, and public service responsibilities, and build strong relationships with senior leaders and advisors across the entire organisation.
Your team will include one other senior advisor and the Private Secretary, and collectively with the Chief of Staff, will be responsible for supporting ERO's leadership team to make decisions, deliver for Ministers, and lead ERO in delivering for the young learners of New Zealand. We see you bringing a strong sense of critical thinking, coordination, and commitment to detail and delivery to the role and team.
