Head of Enterprise Portfolio Office

Join Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora at a key time of change where you will meaningfully contribute to our kaupapa of creating a more equitable, accessible, cohesive and people-centred health system.
**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

The Health NZ Transformation Office's Head of Enterprise Portfolio Office role is a unique opportunity to be influential across the major reform of the health system. It will essentially act as the ‘air traffic controller' for core programmes that will change how the health system fundamentally operates in the future. If that prospect excites rather than intimidates you, read on:
This vital role reports to the Chief Transformation Officer and will be a pillar of the team with visibility of all projects and programmes across the organisation. It will establish and maintain the portfolio framework to ensure consistent delivery and ensure that all programmes, projects and portfolios have a robust benefits structure and are aligned with the framework. This is also a people leadership role expected to develop this office into a team of between 5-10 people.

**Mōu | About you**

You will have substantial relevant experience in highly complex adaptive systems. While you understand applicable models, you aren't a theorist who is wedded to them or relies on them in order to achieve real-world, workable results. A pragmatist at heart, and able to strike a balance between time and costs, you understand how interdependency between programmes can affect outcomes if not controlled and managed well. Your responsive, solution-focused approach and innate ability to work effectively with ambiguity and change will be vital to success. You will be able to view the bigger picture and can appreciate what other senior leaders in the team need to focus on so you can help them to be successful.

You are the kind of leader who encourages innovative and new ideas from your team, while at the same time focusing on delivery. You are a confident communicator and can quickly build rapport and relationships with people at all levels both inside and outside your organisation and can show how you have worked alongside senior leaders to deliver great outcomes.

**Ka kawea e koe | You will bring**:

- Competency with te ao Māori, tikanga, and te reo Māori or a commitment to starting your journey and taking ownership of your learning and growth

**Ko te mahi e tika ana mō te ao hurihuri nei | Work that suits today's ever-changing world**

Health NZ supports flexible and hybrid working for our kaimahi. In roles that don't require an in-person element, we encourage you to ‘work from where you are.' We want our national teams to be made up of diverse people from across the motu, just like our health system.

**Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai | Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion**

Te Whatu Ora means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all. Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.

At Health NZ we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whānau orientated and supportive environment. We are working towards a system that better meets the complex demands of a growing population, addresses the persistent inequalities experienced by Māori and ensures greater access, experience and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system - Māori, Pacific and Disabled People.
