- You work in a government department, a government agency, or in consulting. Over the years you may have had experience in all these roles.
- You have useful contacts in Wellington, which may traverse both the business and public sectors.
- Your ability to research and analyse public policy is first-rate, as is your ability to write with accuracy and professionalism for a wide range of audiences.
- You have a natural interest in news and current affairs, especially from the worlds of politics(central and local government) and business.
- You thrive being part of a collaborative team, including supporting peers and senior colleagues. We believe that everyone is responsible for creating a positive and successful work culture and we're looking for someone who embodies this.
- You can confidently interact with our wide range of New Zealand and Australian clients - and have the experience to back-up your advice.
- You have a ‘nose' for new business opportunities that will help our firm to keep growing and stay connected.

Hours and location
This position is based in our Wellington office, nestled within the historic Post Office Square. Occasional travel to Auckland and throughout New Zealand will be required to support colleagues and clients.
We work in the office more than we're remote, but the flexibility to work around your life is something we live and breathe at all levels.

Salary
Staff at GRC Partners + Porter Novelli enjoy a competitive salary and access to the Clemenger Group Share Scheme and a range of other non-financial benefits, including being part of a team that understands there's more to life than work.
