Wellington City, New Zealand Inland Revenue Full time

When you add a healthy dose of curiosity to a complex challenge, amazing things can happen. In this case, bringing your inquisitive mind and openness to new ideas could help us transform tax and social policy, for the better. And doing so will transform your career for the better, too.

We are looking for L2 policy advisors to join the Inland Revenue Policy group. You will get the opportunity to:

- Advise Government decision-makers on important tax and social policy issues.
- Be part of one of the best policy shops in Government.
- Permanent role based in Wellington.

**Mō mātou | About us**

The Inland Revenue Policy group is based in Wellington and advises Government on a range of tax and social policy issues. We research and develop policy options, and present policy recommendations to senior officials and Ministers. Unlike other policy shops, we also prepare our own legislation arising from those policy recommendations and our advisors support it through the legislative process.

We are looking for L2 policy advisors for our general policy teams and the Economics and Stewardship team.

Our general policy teams develop policy on critical aspects of the tax system including relating to tax administration, income tax and indirect tax.

The Economics and Stewardship team uses economic frameworks and analysis to provide advice on tax and social policies with significant economic impact. The team also takes a stewardship perspective to the tax system - looking into the future to ensure that our tax system stays fit for purpose.

At Inland Revenue Te Tari Taake we’re passionate about Aotearoa New Zealand being a great place to live and work. We’re making it simpler for everyone to pay tax that pays for things like health care, education and protecting the environment.

We are committed to keeping to the Treaty of Waitangi's guiding principles in our work for and with Māori customers and our employees, their whānau, hapū and iwi.

IR is committed to building an inclusive workplace free from inequalities, where all our people are valued, respected and feel supported to reach their full potential.

**About you | Mōu**

As a L2 analyst in the Inland Revenue Policy group you will have a minimum of 4 years’ experience in a relevant role. We are looking for the following capabilities:

- Relevant policy experience, along with an understanding of government priorities and the political context.
- Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders.
- Excellent written and verbal communication abilities to tailor complex messages to diverse audiences.
- A tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline.

For the Economics and Stewardship team you will also have
- A tertiary qualification in economics or finance at post graduate level.

Inland Revenue welcomes applicants from all walks of life and we want all our people to achieve their full potential. We support flexible working that meets the needs of our people and our business.

**Tono mai |**

**Applications close on 7 August 2025 at 5pm**
- We have trust and integrity - we innovate to make a difference - we value people - we work together._
