- Support the operation of the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) system
- Contribute to larger, more complex projects where others have the accountability for the delivery of outputs
- Write papers and briefings and prepare material for presentations.

As part of the broader Policy group, you will have an opportunity to contribute to a variety of work across the group and the wider Ministry. The roles operate in a complex and dynamic environment, requiring flexibility, sound judgement, and the ability to manage both fast-paced and long-term tasks while building effective relationships.

**About you**:
We are looking for someone who:

- Has a tertiary qualification (or equivalent government experience)

- Growth in your transferable skills and knowledge that will benefit you throughout your policy career
- Flexible working options.
