We are seeking a Policy Analyst to join the Office of Rural Communities which sits within Policy & Trade.
The Office of Rural Communities was established within the Ministry for Primary Industries in October 2021 to promote and build more widespread and effective rural proofing across Government. It works to deliver policy and system advice on issues facing rural communities and how government policies affect them.
Rural communities represent around 15% of New Zealand's population and play a pivotal role in sectors, such as, primary industries and tourism. They face unique challenges and so their perspectives and experiences are needed to better inform policy development. Thriving rural communities are important for New Zealand's success.
The Office for Rural Communities is responsible for providing rural perspectives in policymaking, and evidence-based advice and support to other government agencies and Ministers.
As a Policy Analyst, you will get to work across government on a range of topics and facilitate engagement internally and with other agencies.
**About You - Mou**
You will have a sound understanding of government processes, including Parliamentary processes.
You will have some experience supporting Ministers by providing timely and relevant responses to Ministerial and Parliamentary questions, Official Information Act requests and preparing Ministerial correspondence.
**About the Team** - **Mo to matou Ropu**
You will work with a Wellington based team, reporting to the Manager, Office For Rural Communities, and work alongside other policy analysts within the team and the wider Resource and Rural Communities Directorate.
This team brings strong industry knowledge and promotes strategic thinking. The team has a collaborative working style so that everyone feels supported in contributing to our collective goals.
The team also works closely with the wider Policy & Trade branch, government agencies and industry so there is ample opportunity to build meaningful relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
