Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity The National Ticketing Solution (NTS) is a significant programme of work in partnership with public transport authorities throughout New Zealand to develop one, common payments platform and service for all public transport in the country. This will transform the way New Zealanders travel on public transport, on any mode, anywhere in the country. It is a critical part of achieving New Zealand ambitions for a safer, more sustainable land transport system. Once the NTS has been rolled out across the country, travellers will be able to use card or smart devices to tag on and off any public bus, ferry, or train. By 2026, customers will be able to use this single payment method on all public transport, in all regions who have joined across Aotearoa.' As a key member of the Programme Leadership Team (PLT) and working closely with the Executive Sponsor, NTS Governance Board and its Chair, you will play a vital role in establishing this new function. You will lead the activities relating to governance and stakeholder management for the programme, as well as playing a key role in managing our relationships with our internal and external stakeholders including our public transport authority (PTA) partners. You will also engage with our Waka Kotahi internal legal and policy teams to ensure issues are well managed. Key to your success in the role will be your skills in identifying and managing strategic/operational issues that may impact on the delivery of the programme, your ability to identify the type of strategic response that is needed when issues arise (which may range from formal legal or commercial through to relationship management), as well as your skills in ensuring that all issues are effectively managed by the PLT. You will bring the following skills and experience:

- Senior leadership experience within the public sector or a similarly complex business environment
- Extensive governance management experience at Board level, including attention to detail
- Experience in leading and managing complex decisions including managing multi party negotiations
- Proven experience in managing complex internal and external stakeholder relationships at a senior executive level
- You will be a strong communicator with highly developed people skills
- Ideally you will have a background in commercial management, stakeholder management and/or law

To be considered for this position you must have a legal right to live and work in New Zealand.
