The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) provides national leadership to New Zealand's distributed emergency management system.
NEMA's primary focus is on the performance and capability of the emergency management system as a whole, across all hazards and all risks and the 4 Rs of risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery.
NEMA values diversity and inclusion.
We want our workforce to reflect the diversity of our communities.
We value and respect the contributions of our people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and perspectives.
We support flexible ways of working that bring out the best in you.
We are committed to doing our part to deliver on the Crown's commitments to Maori under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
We strive to actively build te Ao Maori perspectives and capability into our day to day work, values and practices.
The purpose of the Senior Advisor, Funding & Financial Assurance is to process and manage funding applications and claims submitted to NEMA by local authorities and other organisations on a timely basis in accordance with principles, standards, and guidelines.

Identifying and communicating risks to NEMA and funded programmes.
Communicating with NEMA management and local authorities about claims and funding.

an emergency could occur at any time of the day or night and may require working shifts and/or weekends.
