The appointing salary for this role will be between $124,397 and $173,973, depending on skills and experience.

**Mōu | About you**

A motivated, talented and hard-working Principal Advisor, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference to restoring, sustaining and improving Māori Crown relationships.

- Proven experience upholding the principles of te Tiriti o Waitangi.
- Familiarity with te ao Māori and ideally have te reo Māori capability.
- Facilitation and delivery experience across social, economic and environmental sectors, particularly in Kaupapa Māori and Māori Crown partnerships, or an extensive career history ideally with a Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi, legal or constitutional background.
- Demonstrated ability working across agencies and with iwi/Māori partners and other regional stakeholders to achieve results.
- Strong knowledge of Ministerial and Cabinet processes, statutory decision making, as well as problem-solving, relationship management and influencing skills.
- Strong policy skills, excellent written skills and ability to brief for different audiences.
