Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

We're looking for a Portfolio Delivery Lead to join our Business Improvement team in our Information Services group. This is a permanent role based in our Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) office.

**Mo te turanga | About the role**

This is a pivotal strategic role responsible for overseeing the Commission's Information Services (IS) project portfolio. As the Portfolio Delivery Lead, you'll ensure robust governance, manage delivery risks, and provide expert advice to support the successful delivery of strategic initiatives.

- Proven experience leading and managing complex projects and portfolios within a structured framework
- Strong understanding of project governance, risk management, and reporting
- Demonstrated ability to provide expert advice and thought leadership across a diverse stakeholder group
- Experience in coaching and mentoring project teams to build internal capability
