The Planning & Development team is responsible for developing policies, plans and profiles to guide the development of our collections. We monitor collection data to ensure our collections are shaped according to the needs of our customers.

Our Senior Librarians assist with the monitoring and expenditure of the Auckland Libraries collections budget and contribute to the annual budget allocation process. They collaborate closely with external suppliers, including regular performance monitoring.

**Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou: What we offer**

Along with the benefits that come with being a part of Auckland's largest employer, you will also be part of Australasia's largest public libraries and can make an impact in one of New Zealand's fastest growing cities.

You will be part of team of supportive, professional librarians who know their stuff and have a strategic focus on improving our collections. The role offers variety and some flexibility around hours of work.

This is a permanent, full-time position working 40 hours Monday to Friday.
