Kōrero mō te Tūranga - About the Role
We are seeking a Policy Analyst to join the Biosecurity System Policy team which sits within the Regulatory Systems Policy directorate of Policy & Trade. The Regulatory Systems Policy directorate leads the development of high-level strategies for the animal welfare and biosecurity systems, and the policy and regulatory frameworks that MPI operates within.
If harmful pests and diseases get into New Zealand, they can cause damage. Biosecurity focuses on stopping them before or at the border, or getting rid of the ones already here. Biosecurity policy involves using analysis and strategic thinking to shape what we need to do to help protect New Zealand's environment, economy and way of life.
You will focus on primary and secondary legislation, but will need to be flexible and able to pivot to other high-priority work and projects as required.
As part of the Biosecurity System Policy team, you will support work on:

- Proposed changes to the Biosecurity Act;
- Regulations to support the Biosecurity Act; and
- Border policy.

You will ideally be currently working as a Policy Analyst or be a post graduate in a similar role, with an interest in broadening your experience and knowledge of the primary sector.

- Flexibility and comfort with working with ambiguity;
- Computer literacy for basic programmes such as Word, Excel;
- Good interpersonal and communication skills; and
- The ability to work collaboratively across MPI, across government and with external stakeholder groups
