Full time
Federated Farmers is the highly influential national voice of rural New Zealand, representing the hard-working farmers who help generate over 50% of New Zealand's exports. Federated Farmers' role is invaluable to the rural sector, wider community and national economy.

This involves leading and delivering our central government engagement strategy, identifying political risks and opportunities early, and moving fast in response.
Having established networks is critical to this role, as well as the proven ability to develop and maintain strong and trusted relationships with MPs and their staff across the political spectrum. Supporting our elected representatives and senior team members to develop their own strong connections with MPs and their staff is particularly important.
To be successful in this role, you will need:
to be a strong strategist and have astute political awareness
detailed knowledge and understanding of central government political and parliamentary processes
demonstrated ability to connect and build strong relationships with key stakeholders
proven advocacy and lobbying expertise
exceptional communication and writing skills
