We're looking for a Director for our Finance, Evaluation, and Economics group to join our Wellington or Auckland office.

As Director, your role is a combination of being a senior leader and role model in the firm, leading our team of leaders and consultants to deliver finance, economic and evaluation services, and driving business performance, quality delivery of work and growth strategies for those services. This includes leading efforts to build client relationships and win new business for MartinJenkins. You will be a skilled practitioner in your own right, with a reputation as being top of your game amongst our clients and stakeholders.

This permanent, full-time role, based in either Wellington or Auckland, is a rare opportunity to practice your technical craft and lead a high performing consultancy.

We are looking for people with:

  • Excellent judgement, empathy, and strong communication skills
  • Experience working as a consultant
  • Knowledge of how the public sector operates
  • People leadership experience, preferably as a leader of leaders
  • Applied background in a discipline such as economics, financial management, public finance, or economic development
  • Ability to interact credibly with senior leaders in client organisations
  • A collaborative and effective team player
  • Strong empathy for upholding values of tikanga Māori
  • Tertiary qualification in economics, business, public policy, finance, law or similar fields.

Our people and culture are core to our ongoing success. This is strengthened by the five values we look for in every member of our team.

  • Rise to the challenge - we have the courage to deal with difficult issues and ‘tell it like it is'.
  • Be curious - we are intellectually curious and open to try new things.
  • Value the person - we recognise that we are all people beyond work, and value the diversity.
  • We take work seriously, but not ourselves - we strive for excellence and bring a sense of fun to how we work.
  • Better together - we value the diverse experiences and inputs that individuals can bring to their work.
What we offer

Our people appreciate that we:

  • are a highly capable, commercially savvy, and caring team,
  • operate a flexible and supportive environment,
  • have a competitive salary,
  • provide five weeks annual leave, and
  • have an annual performance-based bonus.

How to apply:

If you're up for an exciting and purposeful challenge, apply online now with your CV and cover letter.

We would love to know:

  • why you want to work with us
  • what you would bring to the Executive Leadership Team, and
  • how you would lead the Finance, Evaluation, and Economics group.
