To support our focus on building co-governance across all we do we are looking for a Co-Governance Management Partner to jointly lead the development, implementation, monitoring and review of Council's co-governance arrangements as guided by best practice models, statute, te Tiriti of Waitangi principles and settlement legislation.
This role will take responsibility for building and maintaining effective relationships internally and externally with Iwi partners and hapu.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR - KEI TE KIMI MATOU I TENEI MOMO TANGATA
We are looking for a strategic thinker with experience working with iwi entities, hapu and Maori.
Ideally you will have experience in a local government setting and have developed existing iwi/hapu/Maori relationships across the Taupo district.
You'll require knowledge and understanding of te reo Maori and demonstrated expertise in building positive, collaborative relationships.
Project management skills are a must along with a practical working knowledge of the Resource Management Act (RMA), Local Government Act (LGA) and Public Works Act.

Our people are accomplished, capable, and driven by curiosity to learn more - about the council, its impact, and their own potential.
Your career aspirations will be encouraged, whether you're just starting out or an expert.
Our strengths-based environment will enable you to be the best version of yourself at work.
Our spaces are filled with warmth and welcoming conversation.
We collaborate closely and lead with empathy - for our colleagues and for our community.
We encourage our people to find the flexibility within their role to do more of what matters to them in and out of work.
When you join us, you'll enjoy our:
Strong focus on wellness - discounted gym membership and health insurance and wellbeing initiatives to support your mental, physical and financial wellbeing
Flexible work environment – work from home options and flexible hours to promote a great work-life balance
Assistance with ongoing professional development – access to learning opportunities to help you grow
Generous leave entitlements
Settling in support – if you're joining us from outside of the district, we'll work with you to make a seamless transition

Do you have the right skills, passion for the Taupo district and desire to make a difference?
Are you looking for the next step or a change in your career?
If you answered YES then we look forward to receiving your application
