Ko wai mātou - About Us
At Manatū Hauora we are the kaitiaki of the health system, providing leadership and driving strategy and performance. We regulate the health sector and are the primary source of advice on health matters. Our mahi ensures New Zealanders are cared for by a health system that is innovative, future focussed and world leading.
The Strategy Group within the Strategy, Policy and Legislation Directorate ensures that across Manatū Hauora - and across the whole health system - we're taking a strategic approach to everything we do. That means giving people clarity about our system's overall priorities and what we're working towards; providing insights on risks and opportunities coming down the line for our health system; and developing processes to influence work across the health system to achieve our aspirations for health.

- Contributing to the wider strategy and policy work of the Ministry and health system, leading and convening virtual groups.

You will lead policy development, draft documents, and provide expert advice. You will oversee the entire policy process, including problem definition, option assessment, and impact analysis. Your role involves reviewing colleagues' work, leading projects, and ensuring high-quality policy advice. You will collaborate with stakeholders, monitor policy quality, and uphold equity and Treaty of Waitangi obligations.

Ko ngā pukenga ōu - What You'll Bring
- Strong strategic thinking skills - the ability to hold an overview across a broad system and find linkages and opportunities to get things done.
- A thorough understanding of public policy issues and political considerations and have demonstrated success in leading complex work and operating in ambiguity.
