Ngā pukenga me ngā wheako e hiahiatia ana - Skills and Experience Required

Are you who we are looking for?

We are looking for an experienced senior policy advisor who has skills in regulatory policy and experience in solving complex problems and formulating high-quality policy advice.

Ideally you will have:

  • Experience leading complex policy projects within central government
  • Wide-ranging knowledge of policy development disciplines and processes
  • Strong stakeholder relationship building, influencing and engagement skills to gain the cooperation and commitment of others
  • Demonstrated capability in working with Ministers, senior public service officials, internal and external stakeholders
  • Passion for leading and coaching others to develop their policy craft and take their careers to the next level
  • The ability to work through ambiguity and deliver results
  • Understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles and application of these in public policy and in partnership with Māori

MBIE's goal is to create a resilient and high-performing economy that delivers real and ongoing quality of life for all New Zealanders. We do this by working with others to create an environment that supports businesses to be more productive and internationally competitive, enables all New Zealanders to participate in the economy through improved job opportunities and by working to ensure quality housing is more affordable.

People are at the heart of our mahi, and our way of working is guided by our values which shape our behaviours:

  • Māia – Bold and brave
  • Pae Kahurangi – Build our Future

Our aspirations are echoed in our Māori identity – Hīkina Whakatutuki – which broadly means ‘lifting to make successful'.

MBIE recognises the partnership founded under Te Tiriti o Waitangi between Māori and the Crown and is committed to giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We will do this through enduring, meaningful and effective partnerships with iwi, Māori, other Māori groups/organisations and the Crown, as this is critical to enable economic and social development, both for Māori and for wider Aotearoa New Zealand. We are committed to continuing to partner with iwi in order to find new sustainable solutions to address long-standing systemic and cross-cutting issues facing Māori and wider Aotearoa New Zealand and we are also committed to identifying opportunities for iwi to lead and creating an enabling environment for iwi to leverage these opportunities.

Applications close on Wednesday 15 January 2025 (midnight).

Please note that due to the holiday period there may be a delay in answering any questions or queries.
