Senior Legal Advisers
- Provide high quality legal advice
- Flexible, inclusive, collaborative working environment
- Agile, independent, courageous regulator
Privacy is precious - help protect it
We are Aotearoa New Zealand's privacy regulator - a small, independent crown entity established to protect and promote individual privacy.
What we're offering
We have two Senior Legal Adviser opportunities to join our Legal team - a permanent role, and a 12-month fixed term role with an in-house legal operations focus.
The fixed term role assists with providing the expert legal and privacy advice above, as required, but with a key focus on the Commissioner's internal legal operations. The role will assist with streamlining the legal team's in-house operating systems, processes, and procedures for the efficient and cost-effective delivery of its services. It will also work closely with our internal / cross-office Legislative Compliance Working Group to ensure our compliance with our statutory obligations. This in-house legal operations work will be internal as well as external facing.
What we're looking for
**For both roles, you will have**:
- Ideally a minimum of 5 years relevant PQE
- Excellent statutory interpretation skills
- Great communication skills, both verbal and written
- An interest in how privacy intersects with human rights law and policy
- High attention to detail
For the fixed term role, any prior experience or a strong personal interest in in-house legal operations would be an advantage.
Either role could also be a great opportunity for someone with the relevant experience, skills, and competencies to step up into a senior legal position.
You must have the legal right to work in New Zealand to be considered for this role.
Applications close 9 am, Monday, 22 May, unless filled prior.
