Queenstown, New Zealand Kauati Ltd Full time

Kaitohutohu (Policy Advisor)Reports to: Project LeadLocation: Queenstown Lakes District Organisational ContextThe vision of Kauati is:To enable future generations to manage, use and connect with their environment by understanding and utilising the knowledge of the past. Kauati is shaped by its people and what we collectively bring to our clients.  We are a boutique policy and research consultancy focusing on the interwoven relationships of nature and culture.
Kauati works in the cultural heritage and environmental sectors.  We have worked on a wide range of projects, including freshwater, predator-free, cultural landscapes, and land redesignation.  Most of our work is in supporting Treaty partnerships and enabling partners by providing the support, pathways, and information needed.
Our EthosKauati prides itself on an ethical approach, and the spirit of Hakitekura guides its values.
Hakitekura was the first person to successfully swim across the ice-cold Whakatipu Waimaori (Lake Wakatipu). Learning from where others had failed, she took with her a kauati (firestick) to keep warm once back on land and signal her achievement.
Following her example of ingenuity, adaptability and perseverance, we work on the basis that every aspect of the policy and planning process is significant. Our natural environment, our culture – one cannot be considered apart from the other. By looking to the lessons of the past, we ensure that we do the best by each aspect and that our work stands the test of time.
Just like Hakitekura, we use the light of knowledge to guide our clients today, as well as a signal of our commitment to do our best for future generations.
