- providing or contributing to advice on complex issues independently and contributing to advice on highly complex issues
- bringing together evidence to draw conclusions (e.g. on key issues and their root causes)
- working collaboratively on projects both within and across agencies
- leading engagement with stakeholders and the community
- providing coaching and contributing to building the capability of people in your team.

**We are interested in hearing about any form of experience, in policy or otherwise, you might have that would contribute to this role.**
- Strong analytical skills
- Clear communication skills
- Collaborative working style
- Perseverance
- Understanding of te Ao Māori and commitment to upholding Te Tiriti Waitangi
- Skills and experience working with ethnic communities
- A working knowledge of social sector commissioning processes would be an advantage.

**Organisation environment / Te taiao o te rōpū**

It is important to us to:

- prioritise your wellbeing and development
- provide a flexible working environment where you can learn from a supportive and collegial team of experienced policy professionals
- develop your career though the opportunities that come from a broad and varied work programme and our commitment to your ongoing professional development
- collaborate and support each other and we make sure everyone has the chance to develop and to take on new challenges
