**Opportunity for an experienced leader to lead the development and implementation of AUT's Pacific staffing plan and supporting initiatives**:

- ** Establishing professional development programmes to support AUT staff Pacific cultural competencies.**
- **One year fixed-term role working across AUT's campuses**

AUT's Office of Pacific Advancement and People and Culture work areas are looking for a Pacific Staff Taunga to drive the co-design, development, and implementation of a Pacific staffing plan, including programmes and initiatives that contribute to a thriving Pacific staff community at AUT, as well as professional development to enhance wider AUT staff Pacific cultural competencies and capabilities.

The Office of Pacific Advancement (OPA) is grounded in a collective commitment to elevating the wellbeing and success of Pacific communities at AUT and beyond. Our programmes and initiatives span the student and staff experience; academic research development, impact and engagement; advocacy, and community-based collaborations and partnerships.

Developing and maintaining close working relationships with internal and external stakeholders which are centred on reciprocity and respect is vital, as is the ability to lead the co-design and implementation of innovative and enduring solutions. To be successful in this role, you will possess the following attributes:

- A heartfelt commitment to strengths-based approaches to enabling Pacific peoples' success and wellbeing, and opportunities to platform Pacific knowledges, cultures and ways of being;
- A proven record of successful relationship building at senior and middle management levels, across diverse stakeholders in the education, public and not-for-profit sectors;
- Demonstrated experience designing and implementing effective professional development programmes and initiatives, including exemplary facilitation skills;
- Authentic, value-centred decision-making and the ability to effectively prioritise;
- Excellent communication skills as well as the ability to present professionally to diverse sets of stakeholders;
- In-depth understanding of the tertiary education environment especially in relation to Pacific wellbeing and success.

The Pacific Staff Taunga reports to the Pro Vice-Chancellor Pacific and is a key member of the Office of Pacific Advancement's leadership team. However, the role will also require close collaboration with AUT's People and Culture directorate, and hold a secondary reporting line into People and Culture's senior leadership team.

**Salary Range**:$88,000 - $107,000 (dependent on experience and qualifications)
