Whether you are wanting to step up into a senior role or move across the business to experience another area, we'd love to hear from you.

We work closely with teams within MBIE and across agencies who have an interest in climate change and labour market policy, drawing on different sets of knowledge and networks to provide coherent advice to Ministers.

Transitions Strategy is part of Te Waka Putahitanga group, where we are united in our mission of ‘Looking ahead, working across - Haumi ē, Hui ē, Tāiki e', providing strategic and system-focused advice for MBIE and our Ministers. The role will focus on supporting the Future of Work Forum. Specifically, you’ll play a vital role in supporting our preparation for the April forum on Women and the Future of Work and the June forum on “Building future resilience”.. In this role you will work closely with social partners - the Council of Trade Unions and Business New Zealand - to develop material that will support constructive tripartite discussions. You’ll also work across agencies to provide advice to Ministers on key issues discussed at the forum.
This opportunity will allow you to work at the forefront of some of the biggest challenges facing our economy and society today.
