  • Collaborate with executive and international partners to uphold integrity, reciprocity, and innovation in all agreements.

What You'll Bring

  • Minimum 5 years' experience in Public Relations, Marketing, Communications, and publishing and digital media experience.

  • Strong background in partnership management, brand strategy, or cultural communications.

  • Proven ability to lead projects with cultural integrity and cross-sector collaboration.

  • Excellent writing, digital storytelling, and stakeholder engagement skills.

  • A commitment to kaupapa Māori, Indigenous advancement, and ethical leadership.

Why Join Us?

  • Work with a kaupapa Māori charitable trust championing whānau wellbeing and Indigenous-led development.

  • Be part of a passionate team shaping a global legacy through health, education, and tourism pathways.

  • Collaborate with international partners who value authenticity, innovation, and cultural excellence.

  • Contribute to meaningful work that blends professional expertise with purpose and integrity.

Additional Details

This is a permanent, full-time position based in the Northland Region (Te Tai Tokerau), with flexibility for hybrid work where appropriate. The role operates primarily Monday to Friday under standard full-time conditions; however, occasional weekend work may be required depending on project and event commitments. Employment is direct with Te Houtaewa Māori Charitable Trust under New Zealand employment law, with an annual salary range of $72,800 to $86,580, depending on experience and qualifications.
