- Provide expert analysis and recommendations to inform decision-making and drive policy development
- Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, including government agencies, community organisations and iwi

- A tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline (e.g. Law) or equivalent operational experience
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think creatively and develop innovative solutions
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and negotiate with stakeholders
