Want a role in a supportive organisation that prides itself in its flat structure and flexible working arrangements?
- Want to influence transport decisions that impact all New Zealanders?

- Permanent, full time Wellington based opportunity

We are looking for high-performing Senior or experienced Policy Advisers to join the Mobility and Safety team at Te Manatū Waka - Ministry of Transport.

He kupu mō mātou Te Manatū Waka | About Ministry of Transport
Te Manatū Waka, Ministry of Transport, is the system leader for the transport sector whether it's on land, at sea, in the air, or connecting Aotearoa to the world. We are the government's principal adviser on transport policy, regulation and investment and play a crucial role in ensuring the transport system is working to improve the prosperity for New Zealanders.

At Te Manatū Waka, we pride ourselves on being a small, agile, and friendly Ministry, which maintains a work culture based on our values - Bold, Invested and Collaborative. Our modern offices located in the heart of the waterfront further enhances the Ministry's working environment.

Ngā whakamārama mō te tūnga | About the opportunity
You will be joining the Mobility and Safety team which is focused on:

- ensuring the public transport system is fit for purpose, accessible for New Zealanders and able to meet its emission reduction goals.
- delivering the Road to Zero Strategy, playing our part to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

By joining our team, you will broaden your policy experience and play a significant role in delivering cross-agency initiatives. We deliver reactive and strategic advice while also leading regulatory processes - Bills, Rule changes, and amendments to regulations. You will also grow your internal and external relationships as most of our projects are inter-agency and require consultation with the sector.
There is flexibility across the work programmes to accommodate individual interests and professional development needs. Initially these vacancies will be involved in delivering elements of the Road to Zero Strategy, including:

- improving the safety of the vehicle fleet
- strengthening commercial transport regulation
- supporting best practice for work-related road safety
- reviewing road safety penalties

Te wāhi ki a koe | What you'll bring
Most of the Mobility and Safety work involves regulatory review and change - so previous regulatory experience is advantageous. However, we are also keen to hear from people with experience in strategic policy development - especially if you are keen to grow exposure to and understanding of the art of regulatory policy. Most important is your ability to deliver robust, high-quality advice to ensure we continue to deliver our high-profile work programme.

Being a Senior Adviser
As a Senior Adviser in the Mobility and Safety team, you'll lead projects that have a real impact on the lives of New Zealanders and speak to your work at Ministers' meetings and Select Committees. You will get the opportunity to provide policy leadership, coach others, undertake complex analysis and develop innovative and practical policy solutions.
You will join us from a background where you've gained demonstrable experience in leading and steering projects, problem-solving complex policy issues, and assessing options. You will need strong written and verbal communication skills to develop high quality and concise advice for Ministers.
Being an Adviser
As a Policy Adviser you will prepare advice across a range of transport issues. This includes responding professionally and comprehensively to requests from the public and the Minister. You will gain experience leading the development of official correspondence and responding to requests for information under the Official Information Act 1982. and preparing advice for Ministers.

Our Policy Advisers support and lead interesting, complex, and high-profile government projects. You will collaborate across the team, Ministry, other government agencies and with external stakeholders to critically analyse policy options and prepare robust advice.
If you're looking to broaden your policy experience in a supportive environment, then Te Manatū Waka is the place for you.

Te wāhi ki a mātou | What we offer
In additional to our small and friendly office discreetly located on the wharf, we also offer a supportive and flexible work environment, individual development plans, Ministry leave days, laptop and mobile, a range of health and wellbeing benefits including wellbeing days and an annual Wellness payment, discounted insurances, EAP, a welcoming employee network and more.
Some of our office facilities include plenty of storage for bicycles/scooters, personal secure lockers, collaborative workspaces and showers.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a culture that is inclusive, collaborative, and em
