Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Monitor New Zealand's intelligence and security agencies
The Office of the Inspector-General provides independent oversight of New Zealand's two intelligence and security agencies to ensure they operate lawfully and in a manner New Zealanders would think proper. We do this by examining selected areas of the work of the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service and the Government Communications Security Bureau, focusing on the systems they have in place to ensure that human rights and other legal and ethical obligations are respected. The Inspector-General is looking for investigative staff to support this important function.
As an investigator you will be responsible for investigating the activities of the intelligence and security agencies on behalf of the Inspector-General. This includes assisting on any inquiries the Inspector-General initiates, reviewing agency operations and intelligence warrants, and investigating complaints about the agencies. You will assist the Inspector-General in monitoring the agencies' activities and assessing the soundness of their operational and compliance policies and procedures.
- Self-motivated, disciplined, reliable, and determined with a "can do" approach
- Professional independence and personal detachment
- A team player, flexible and operating with respect, trust, and support for others
- Excel at interpersonal and relationship management skills
- A critical thinker - strong in cognitive, analytical, and problem-solving skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills

A background in the security and intelligence area is not essential, but would be helpful. Significant learning opportunities will be available to successful applicants.
