Auckland City, New Zealand AsureQuality Full time

**The opportunity**:
We're looking for a second Innovation Lead to join our growing team.

Charged with defining and delivering the future of food assurance for AsureQuality and our customers, and you will be a key player in bringing our strategic vision to life.

Collaborating extensively with stakeholders, you will help drive innovation end-to-end - from identifying, through development, to delivery. You'll connect AsureQuality to a network of influential stakeholder individuals and organisations, including customers and partners, to ensure the business can leverage valuable thought leadership, gain insights, test thinking, stand up proof of concepts, and identify and develop new opportunities

This is a full-time permanent position, ideally based out of our Auckland or Christchurch offices, although for the right person we'll consider other locations. There is workplace flexibility and travel as needed to make things happen.

**About you**:
Your technology-centric background with new digital product or service development experience, will be essential to ensure you hit the ground running in this key role.

You're comfortable leading human centred design approaches and have some Lean Start Up success stories to leverage.

While you are open to the new and different, and excited by innovative solutions, you are also driven and commercially astute with a successful track record in agile project management and delivery in complex organisations.

As a people leader, you are approachable and enjoy developing others. Utilising your technical background, strong relationship building skills and good commercial nous, you will be confident at winning the support of all stakeholders and able to eloquently articulate your vision for a new opportunity or approach.

**About us**:
Everyday our experienced team of 1800+ people work alongside farmers, producers, and others throughout the food supply chain to help them uphold what Aotearoa stands for in food - a higher standard of quality and safety.

We are passionate about our shared role as Kaitiaki Kai, guardians of food, and have a deep responsibility to do the right thing for food and the environments it comes from.

We are committed to attracting, developing, and retaining great people, and supporting them to be the best they can be. We know diverse teams are stronger teams and we believe in fairness and opportunity for all.
