- Bringing Te Tiriti to the heart of decision making
- Navigating the world of internal and external partnerships.
- Strengthening our Tiriti partnership to enable Māori data aspirations
- Empowering Stats NZ to deliver for and with Māori, iwi and hapū.

You will be a galvanising force across Te Tohu, linking work and people as you look across our functions. You will provide timely and challenging advice to Te Tohu and Stats NZ leadership more generally. You build effective and high trust relationships and will be seen as a trusted partner by iwi and Māori, as well as government colleagues.You listen to understand and are a strong and authentic communicator, distilling complex or technical concepts into plain language to ensure that everyone understands the why. You are an organisational guru and can keep track of where various requests and mahi are at any given time.
We're looking for someone who enjoys a vibrant and energetic team environment and working with people who are passionate about the potential of their work to deliver real change for our people.
We encourage and consider transferable skills and experience gained from outside of work e.g., cultural, community work, sports, volunteering, or a comparable role in a different sector or industry. We want to hear about any of the following in your cover letter and CV any information relating to:

- About your knowledge and experience, or willingness to learn about Te Tiriti, Tikanga, Te Reo and Te Ao Māori.
- How you've demonstrated, encouraged, or supported diversity and inclusion in or outside of work.
- Examples of key relationships you've built and how and why relationships are important.
- Where you've demonstrated leadership, e.g., led by example, demonstrated problem solving, owned a project or piece of work, spoken up for yourself or others.
- Where you've shown curiosity and tried new things, taken on other perspectives, challenged the norm, learned, and applied or shared your learnings.
- Where you've demonstrated customer centricity, everyone is a customer mentality, collaborated with others and invited feedback, spent time with diverse people and communities to broaden your views.
- Examples where you've worked with Māori, iwi, hapū and Tiriti partners
- Understanding of the machinery of government and related processes and procedures
