The team works closely with TNZ teams across Aotearoa and offshore to maximise opportunities, manage risk and ensure alignment and consistency.

**Here's a taste of what you will be doing**:

- _Strategic communications:_ Provide ‘best practice' comms advice to senior people and deliver a broad range of communications material for TNZ activities.
- _Internal communications:_ Support our positive organisational culture through proactive, transparent, and timely communications and engagement. This includes engaging people in TNZ's strategic activities around the world.
- _Media management:_ Help the team with proactive and reactive media engagement in New Zealand, and drive media coverage of TNZ's corporate activity and performance.
- _Corporate channels:_ Letting stakeholders know about the work TNZ is doing. This will often involve translating complicated information into plain English. Includes producing content for the TNZ website, a monthly newsletter, and social channels.

***What you will need **|** **Ngā pūkenga mō tēnei tūranga**

- Outstanding relationship management and interpersonal skills.
- You express yourself clearly and succinctly verbally and in writing. You have high attention to detail.
- You maintain your effectiveness while adjusting to a changing work environment and varying tasks, people,responsibilities, and priorities. You cope well with change and you're good at getting things done without having the full picture.
- A good risk radar and experience managing tricky issues and problem-solving. People trust your judgement.
- Experience within an international organisation, working alongside high-performing marketing teams, and/or an understanding of the travel or tourism sector would be useful.
