- Salary range: $112,856-$138,028 Tēnei tūranga - About the Role:
This is an exciting fixed term opportunity for a Principal Advisor Transition to join the Weathertight Services team in MBIE’s Building and Tenancy Branch, to drive the transition strategy as we work towards closure at the right time.

Established in 2002, the aim of Weathertight Services is to help owners of leaky homes resolve their claims and repair their homes, so they can move on with their lives. We administer the Weathertight Homes Resolution Services Act 2006, and maintain oversight of the entire remediation process for the claims repairing via the Financial Assistance Package (FAP). With fewer than 80 claims left open (from a total pool of 7,400), we are now firmly focused on moving remaining claims forward, and preparing for the future closure of the Service.

The Principal Advisor Transition will lead the development and implementation of the transition strategy, whilst working with other teams within MBIE to deliver key transition workstreams. You will be adept at keeping relevant leaders up-to-date as needed, and providing advice to overcome barriers that may arise as the transition progresses.

You will demonstrate customer-centric thinking and work with the team to ensure a collaborative approach to the transition strategy.

This is a unique opportunity to help steer a significant regulatory intervention safely through its sunset phase, balancing the continued need to deliver an operational service with the changing needs of transitioning to closure.

Ngā pukenga me ngā wheako e hiahiatia ana - Skills and Experience Required
- Proven strategic thinker with a can-do attitude and experience delivering strategic outcomes and work programmes, and at least 12-18 months in an equivalent principal position.
