He angitūtanga | About the role
You will be leading a high performing team of statutory planners largely based in the North Island. Your exceptional leadership will drive a culture of excellence in a supportive team environment. You will prioritise development by coaching, guiding and upskilling your team members.
As a Team Lead, you manage performance and setting of expectations with individuals. You will ensure standards are being met, systems and processes are developed, improved, and administered. You will be responsible for pastoral care in a professional context, ensuring team members have the support and flexibility they need to thrive.
A core function of your role is to provide oversight of highly complex projects and processes.
