- data and analytics

This is one of two Knowledge and Information Officer roles that work broadly across information and knowledge management and also support other teams within Knowledge Information and Analytics. While you will undertake a variety of work, in this role you will also support the History and Heritage Team. This could include collating and tracking responses to research requests, assisting with access to historical files, and providing support to staff declassifying the Ministry’s historical records.

This role could be your stepping stone into an information management career and will also give you exposure to project work.

Note: this is not research or an IT role.

The appointment range for this role is $57,656 to midpoint $64,062 total remuneration including employer contribution to Kiwisaver
- negotiable depending on experience.

**Mā‎ wai te mahi nei? **- Who are we looking for?**

This role could suit you if you are an organised and customer-focused individual and have had some involvement in information or records management.
- Undergraduate degree (desirable)
- Knowledge of records management functions, tools and relevant legislation
- An understanding of how information is managed across the Government sector, including public access to information.
- Your motivation for helping customers to manage or find information
- Your organisational skills and great attention to detail
- Your energy and ability to work comfortably with our physical information assets as well as electronic information
- Your love for learning and gaining new skills
- Your interest in working across a range of activities to manage, find and supply information on a wide range of topics, e.g. foreign policy, trade and aid and history.

Ideally you will also have a good understanding of tikanga (Māori customs and protocols), with the ability to weave te ao Māori (the Māori worldview) into your work. If you are just starting on this journey that’s OK too - as long as you have a willingness to learn and a desire to develop your cultural capability. As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner, this is important to us and we offer training and support.
