In this diverse and dynamic role, no two weeks will look the same.

- A portfolio showcasing strong design thinking and service design skills.
- A relevant qualification in IT, digital design, service design, or related fields (or equivalent experience).
- Experience in user research or related fields.
- Proficiency in tools like Sketch, Figma, or similar prototyping software.
- Skills in interaction design (e.g., wireframing, user flows, customer journey mapping).
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with experience in stakeholder engagement.
- Ability to take feedback and adapt solutions to meet evolving needs.
- Confidence in presenting ideas, facilitating workshops, and leading discussions.
- A sharp eye for detail and a customer-centered approach to problem-solving.

Bonus Points If You Have
- Knowledge of standards development, maturity assessment, or risk assessment.
- Familiarity with agile environments.

What We Offer
- The chance to do work that truly matters for New Zealand.
- A diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone has equal opportunities to succeed.
- Competitive salary range ($117K-$157K), based on your experience.
- 4 weeks annual leave.
- 3 additional paid holidays between Christmas and New Year.
- 15 days sick leave annually from your first day.
- A $300 annual well-being allowance.
- Vision or prescription lens allowance, or a hearing exam allowance.
- A flexible work policy to help you balance life and work.
- Opportunities to grow your knowledge of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Tikanga Māori, te reo, and te ao Māori.
- Support for your professional growth in an environment committed to learning and innovation.
