**Join us, and deliver Great Law for New Zealand**
- **Stretch your legal skills into policy or focus your policy skills in legislation**:

- **Lead work to significantly improve the accuracy and usability of New Zealand's legislation**:

- **Work in the heart of central government close to the Botanic Gardens and Lambton Quay**:

- **Approximately 7-month fixed term or secondment opportunity**

Senior Advisor salary range 113,616 - 138,195, or by secondment agreement.

Principal Advisor salary range 133,396 - 162,251, or by secondment agreement.

***

We are looking for a motivated and experienced team player to join our Legislative Stewardship Team. We are about to embark on a piece of work to improve the accuracy and usability of New Zealand's legislation by revoking or updating spent, or mostly spent, legislation, which we expect to have finished by 30 June 2025. In this fixed term or secondment you will engage with a range of stakeholders to develop and provide advice to senior executives, Ministers and Cabinet.

**What we do**

The Parliamentary Counsel Office is New Zealand's law drafting and publication office, and the Government's legislative adviser. Its statutory objective is to promote high-quality legislation that is easy to find, use, and understand and, to that end, to exercise stewardship of New Zealand's legislation as a whole.

If you value people, thrive on collaboration and seek to achieve meaningful outcomes, then the PCO is the place for you The work we do is challenging, diverse, and integral to the lives of New Zealanders. There's no place like it.

**About the team**

The Legislative Stewardship team is responsible for the PCO's Legislative Stewardship Strategy and delivering key Government priorities. The team leads, manages and implements associated work programmes directly and through others inside and outside the PCO. We work across teams, groups and organisational boundaries to achieve our objectives.

The team also leads the PCO's strategy and policy function for legislation. It is the secretariat for the Legislative Design and Advisory Committee (LDAC) and provides the PCO's corporate legal function.

The team has an ambitious strategic work programme, a diverse set of responsibilities, and a complex and sometimes ambiguous operating context. Our work requires clear prioritisation, excellent project and task management, and highly skilled people to be successful. We also need to be nimble to take opportunities to achieve our objectives as they arise.

**About the role**

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Senior Advisor who is ready to stretch themselves, or for a Principal Advisor ready for a gig in the world of legislation.

As a Senior/Principal Advisor you will lead the analysis, policy work, and engagement required to revoke or otherwise update approximately 400 Acts that have been identified as likely spent, as well as other Acts identified as part of the process. Identifying potentially spent Acts is a challenge, as is confirming whether they are in fact spent. You will need to use your detective skills, attention to detail and strong sense of curiosity to hunt down the legal status of older legislation.

You will need excellent judgement as well as careful and systematic processes. Your experience working collaboratively with varied stakeholders and achieving consensus will be beneficial. Many of these Acts have a long history and key stakeholders, such as responsible entities, the public, Ministers and members of Parliament, may take different approaches and have different preferences for taking action or leaving well enough alone.

**Our culture**

Our whakatauākī is a guiding principle that helps to ensure our actions and decisions align with our values.
- Mā te whakamana tāngata, me te mahi ngātahi, ka whai putanga tātou_
- Through valuing people and collaborating, we can achieve great outcomes_
- _

Located across the road from Parliament the PCO offers you a fascinating insight into Aotearoa's legislation. This is an excellent opportunity to join a professional and highly respected organisation.

**How to apply**

We will appoint at either the Senior or Principal level dependent on experience.

**Applications close: 9am, Monday 4 November 2024.
