It works to deliver policy and system advice on issues facing rural communities and how government policies affect them.

They face unique challenges and so their perspectives and experiences are needed to better inform policy development. Thriving rural communities are important for New Zealand's success.

You will use your extensive policy experience to advise and rural proof policies on a range of matters that impact on our rural communities, and will work with the Agriculture and Investment Services branch to deliver advice on recovery following adverse events.

- To be successful in this role, you will be able to demonstrate:_
- A strong understanding and experience in developing new regulations.
- Critical thinking and analytical skills to solve complex policy problems.
- Experience in a policy/regulatory role and navigating Parliamentary processes.
- Experience leading consultation and engagement with external stakeholders.
- A sound understanding of the primary sector and/or rural communities.
- Strong interpersonal and influencing skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across MPI, across government and with external stakeholder groups.
- Leadership and mentoring skills to help guide and grow the team.

**Mo to matou Ropu - About the Team**

Policy and Trade provides sector-level strategic thinking and evidence-based advice for effective government decision-making for systems related to agriculture, forestry, fisheries, biosecurity, food, animal welfare and rural communities.

You will work with a Wellington based team, reporting to the Manager, Office for Rural Communities, and work alongside other policy analysts within the team and the wider Resource and Rural Communities Directorate.

This team brings strong industry knowledge and promotes strategic thinking. The team has a collaborative working style so that everyone feels supported in contributing to our collective goals.

The team also works closely with the wider Policy & Trade branch, government agencies and industry so there is ample opportunity to build meaningful relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
