Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Full time

As a key member of the Trade Facilitation team at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), you will play a crucial role in ensuring that policies and regulations do not unnecessarily create barriers to trade, both domestically and internationally.

The team is responsible for ensuring government policy in New Zealand is consistent with our international trade obligations under the WTO TBT Agreement, and engaging bilaterally, regionally and multilaterally to help shape TBT policy and rules.

You will collaborate with government agencies, stakeholders and international bodies to influence policy decisions and drive trade facilitation initiatives.

The Senior Policy Advisor will lead complex policy projects within central government, strengthen and coordinate MBIE's relationships with domestic regulators, government agencies and businesses that have an interest in TBT issues, and ensure New Zealand's policy and regulatory settings across a wide range of areas account for our international TBT obligations.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on international issues and be part of a wider NZ Inc effort to support New Zealand's international connections.
