- Experience working in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment with structured programme and project practices.
- Knowledge of property, infrastructure planning, and asset management is preferred.
- A commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and experience working with or alongside Māori organisations.

- Relationship management skills and the ability to influence across diverse stakeholder groups.
