An exciting opportunity to join NZ Customs as an Events Specialist is now available. This role is a full-time permanent position based in our Wellington Customhouse.

If you have excellent planning and coordination skills, we have a great opportunity for you to work with teams across Customs and other agencies to plan high-level internal and external events, including international delegations and ministers' visits.

These events and visits not only showcase the great work Customs does, but they are important for delivering our strategy, which is focused on protecting New Zealand and its economy from threats including transnational organised crime and fraud, and to support New Zealand and our importers and exporters grow our economy. Our work relies on good partnerships, and these are the focus of our events and visits.

As well as providing the planning and coordination support for external events, the Events Specialist develops key internal events, and provides high-quality advice, guidance, and information to Customs teams to support their event development requirements.

To thrive in this role, you need to have good planning and people skills, attention to detail, and show good awareness and judgement. As well as gaining great understanding of a wide range of Customs functions, you will get valuable insights into the considerations of Ministers and senior leaders.

- Excellent communication skills, verbal and written, with the ability to communicate to a broad range of audiences across all levels.
- Well-developed influencing and negotiation skills with experience working across an organisation and influencing others to deliver without formal authority.
- Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple items with varied and competing demands, looking ahead to anticipate potential risks and issues, while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
- Experience in developing, maintaining and implementing efficient and effective systems and procedures to develop events.
- Display enthusiasm, determination, tenacity, and persistence to achieve positive results.
- Ability to think beyond the task - consider impact, consequences, and able to link to other work, and use initiative to see opportunities, raise ideas and be agile to change.
- Confidence to work independently and happy to get stuck into whatever needs doing to support the work of the Group.
- Ability to travel to support important events.
- Knowledge of the conventions, structure and functions of Government.
- High level of integrity, professionalism and discretion.
