Senior Policy Advisor

2 weeks ago

Wellington Central, Wellington, New Zealand Infrastructure New Zealand Full time NZ$90,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

Join the team driving Aotearoa's infrastructure future.

Infrastructure New Zealand (INZ) is the nation's leading infrastructure member association, bringing together leaders across government, business, and communities to shape smarter, long-term decisions for our country. We champion better infrastructure for a more productive, sustainable, and prosperous Aotearoa.

We're looking for an energetic and adaptable Senior Policy Advisor to help shape our advocacy and policy agenda at a time of major change for New Zealand's infrastructure system.

About the Role

You'll play a key part in developing and communicating the ideas that influence government and industry. Working in a small, high-performing team, you'll turn complex issues into clear and persuasive policy positions, submissions, and communications.

This is a dynamic role where you'll need to think on your feet, juggle priorities, and bring both strategic thinking and practical nous. No two days will be the same - one day you might be crafting a briefing for Ministers, the next helping draft a press release, or working with members to understand sector challenges and shape solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop thoughtful, evidence-based policy and submissions that advance INZ's advocacy agenda.
  • Support the Chief Executive and Director of Advocacy and Policy with media responses, press releases, and member briefings.
  • Research and analyse infrastructure, planning, and regulatory issues to inform policy positions.
  • Engage with members, government officials, and stakeholders to ensure industry insights inform INZ's work.
  • Contribute to INZ publications, events, and campaigns with credible, high-impact content

About You

You'll thrive in a fast-paced, ideas-driven environment and be confident navigating between policy detail and public messaging. You're likely to have:

  • Experience in policy, public affairs, or advocacy, ideally within an industry association, professional body, or government agency.
  • Strong analytical and writing skills - able to turn complexity into clarity.
  • A solid understanding of government processes and how decisions are made.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and deliver to deadlines.
  • A collaborative approach, and an enthusiasm for shaping better outcomes for New Zealand.

Why Join INZ?

This is an opportunity to influence New Zealand's biggest challenges - housing, transport, energy, and water - and work closely with decision-makers at every level. You'll join a team that values initiative, trust, and collaboration, and be part of shaping the infrastructure agenda for generations to come.

To apply: Submit your CV and cover letter outlining why you're the right person to help shape the future of New Zealand's infrastructure. Applications for this role will close Friday 24 October.
