- A Bachelor’s degree and 7+ years of relevant experience.

- Strong leadership skills and an affinity to coach staff to lift Council capability.

Who you are is important to us and we welcome and celebrate diversity as an opportunity to grow our teams and are keen to support people of all gender identities, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, religions, and abilities.

Highlights of working with us include:

- Varied and challenging work.
- Flexibility with the way you work.
- A commitment to supporting you to grow and develop.
- A competitive remuneration and leave package, including additional paid leave over Christmas/New Year, employer paid insurance, well-being initiatives.

This role can be located at either of our offices in Tauranga or Whakatāne. We have a culture of flexible working (where practicable), which includes being able to work varied hours or from home at times, to ensure a healthy work/life balance is met.
