Auckland City, New Zealand Auckland Council Full time

Challenge and scope to flex your expertise
- 18 Month Fixed Term
- Flexible and supportive work environment

**He angitūtanga: The opportunity**

We have two 18 month fixed term strategic change management roles to support two key strategic change programmes within Auckland Council’s Customer and Community Services Directorate. These strategic change programmes will enable a step change in both the quality of advice that is provided to Elected Members, and the ways that advice is developed.

One of the strategic change programmes (Advisory Programme) is focussed on supporting a step change to increase the quality of advice we provide in an environment where demand typically exceeds supply and therefore trade-off decisions are paramount.

The other strategic change programme (Long Term-Plan Advice and Governance Framework Review Implementation) is focussed on supporting a step change in the way elected members are enabled to make decisions over the investment in and levels of service within their communities (more decision making ability and potentially different funding models).

These are both transformational change programmes which require strategic change management. The strategic change manager will take the lead on defining, developing, and driving the execution of the change management strategy and activity across the Customer and Community Services Directorate and wider organisation, including overseeing the delivery of comprehensive communication and engagement plans.

You will lead strategic change and communication management across the directorate. The outcome of your work will mean the strategic change programme is successfully embedded, people know what is happening and how it impacts them, and the impact of change is minimised through your expertise in identifying and mitigating change impact risks and communication and engagement more broadly.

**He kōrero mōu: About you**

You’ll have extensive experience working in Change Management and/or Business Transformation in large complex settings, requiring an understanding of strategic impact, financial acumen, and management of stakeholder pressures.

Your ability to understand the strategic intent driving the change activity is paramount, and your knowledge of different approaches to change management is key.

The right person for this role will be an adaptable, proactive, curious person who is outcome focussed and is able to tailor ways of working and communicating to the needs of different audiences.

**Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou: What we offer**

In return for your expertise, you’ll be part of a team of passionate professionals who have a strong Tikanga (set of values). The scope and nature of this work is truly unique and rewarding - work you will be proud to be a part of. You’ll have the chance to grow your technical expertise and get valuable experience that will set you up for further career growth.

You’ll have the support of an experienced team with a strong vision for growth and be part of delivering work that makes a difference for the experience of Auckland’s communities. You will be in a team and organisation that supports and nurtures its people.

As a high-performing organisation, we place a high value on the quality of work done where achievements are regularly celebrated and recognised, embracing the culture of positivity, fun and passion into the workplace.
