Korero mo te Turanga - About the Role
We are seeking a Policy Analyst to join the Biosecurity System Policy team which sits within the Regulatory Systems Policy directorate of Policy & Trade.
The Regulatory Systems Policy directorate leads the development of high-level strategies for the animal welfare and biosecurity systems, and the policy and regulatory frameworks that MPI operates within.
If harmful pests and diseases get into New Zealand, they can cause damage. Biosecurity focuses on stopping them before or at the border, or getting rid of the ones already here.
Biosecurity policy involves using analysis and strategic thinking to shape what we need to do to help protect New Zealand's environment, economy and way of life.

As part of the Biosecurity System Policy team, you will support work on:

Proposed changes to the Biosecurity Act;
Regulations to support the Biosecurity Act; and
Border policy.

The successful candidate will be able to commence their new role from November or December 2024, to support policy analysis work on the current public consultation process for proposed changes to the Biosecurity Act.

The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate:

Strong interpersonal and communication skills;
A solution-focused approach;
A proven ability to forge effective partnerships;
Experience as a policy analyst or in a strongly similar working environment;
Critical thinking and analytical skills to solve complex policy problems;
Flexibility and comfort with working with ambiguity;
Computer literacy for basic programs such as Word and Excel;
Good interpersonal and communication skills;
The ability to work collaboratively across MPI, across government and with external stakeholder groups.

Mo to matou Ropu - About the Team
