Outstanding written and oral communication skills are essential, as well as the ability to manage multiple, often tight deadlines; and you need to have a knack for keeping across a number of issues at the same time.
You will know what high quality advice looks like and are skilled at translating and presenting complex issues in clear and concise language.
Additional to this, you will need an expert level of understanding of machinery of government and related processes and procedures (or a desire to become an expert).
The role requires familiarity with Te Ao Māori, in order to understand what is required of the organisation to contribute to meaningful work and outcomes for Māori, iwi and hapū.
What is in it for you?
You'll be joining an inclusive environment where people, regardless of gender, race, disability, religion or background are supported to be able to do their best work. This includes:

- Opportunity to develop and grow your career
- Flexible working - balance life and work commitments across your 37.5 hour work week
