The local government sector has been navigating significant change over the past few years with more to come. Central government reform processes with implications for our sector continue to evolve and roll out and we need to consider what will meet the needs of our community and plan for the future. In this context, strategic thinking and analysis is critical to a large organisation like Christchurch City Council.

The work of the Strategic Policy Team touches on almost all aspects of Council activities and supports a systems-view and connection across the organisation. We help the Council to chart its direction and prepare key strategic documents mapping this out. The Team also manage a busy policy and regulatory work programme, responding to local issues and providing sound guidance for the organisation.

- Mentoring team members analysing a range of complex policy problems
- Providing strategic policy advice to the operational side of the Council
- Challenging existing frameworks and constructively debating the way forward

- Have an understanding of the place of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in New Zealand including as it affects the role of a public servant
- Have excellent written, verbal and inter-personal communication skills

- Have the ability to provide support and coaching to colleagues when required
