**K**ō**rero m**ō** te t**ū**ranga **| **About the role**

As the Brand and Communications Manager, you play a pivotal role in enhancing our visibility and reputation in the market.

With over 10 years in senior marketing roles, you will demonstrate a strong track record in developing and delivering effective B2B marketing and communications strategies. Ideally, you will possess an understanding of the role that science and innovation plays in lifting environmental, social and economic outcomes, and can articulate a value proposition that will resonate with our partners and stakeholder to drive shared benefits.

Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research is committed to developing a diverse, inclusive, equitable workplace where people feel they belong. We believe this is the right thing to do, but we also believe it is a worthwhile commitment that makes our organisation stronger and more capable through building on our diversity of thinking, enabling us to better understand the needs of our stakeholders and people and respond effectively to them. An inclusive environment means the diverse perspectives we have are more likely to be expressed, heard, and acted on.
