Principal Advisor, Maori Capability and Engagement at Office of the Auditor-General, Wellington - Wairarapa Principal Advisor, Maori Capability and Engagement
The Office of the Auditor-General | Te Mana Arotake aims to improve trust and confidence in the public sector. The Auditor-General is the statutory auditor of all public organisations, playing a major part in ensuring that New Zealand's public sector remains one of the most trusted in the world. No other organisation, public or private, has the overview of the whole public sector that the Office of the Auditor-General has.
The public sector has a range of obligations to support the Crown in its relationship with Maori and in upholding te Tiriti o Waitangi. At the Office of the Auditor-General, we help Parliament to hold the public sector to account for these obligations.
We're looking for someone who is motivated by the opportunity to make a difference both within the Office and across the public sector. In this role, you'll be providing intellectual guidance, expert cultural advice, and support across the Office to help increase the impact of our mahi through effective engagement with Maori.
You'll work closely with the Director, Maori Capability and Engagement to help lead the day-to-day delivery of Kia Tika, our te ao Maori strategy, and increase capability across the Office. This will include drawing on your networks to help build relationships between the Office and Maori stakeholders and supporting the delivery of cultural support for the Office to ensure that tikanga is appropriately applied.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
a thorough understanding of te reo and tikanga Maori;
demonstrated experience working with iwi, hapu, whanau, and Maori communities;
strong relationships and credibility within te ao Maori and across government;
proven experience in strategy development and implementation; and
proven experience in capability-building across a complex organisation.
We offer our staff:
Learning and development opportunities.
Supportive, flexible working.
Health and well-being benefits.
A unique operating environment with Parliament.
What we stand for:
People matter | Our independence is critical | We act with integrity and courage | We're here to make a difference
We have a diverse and inclusive team that helps us to understand the issues facing the public sector and how these affect the lives of New Zealanders. We strongly welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If you have any support or access requirements, we encourage you to tell us when you apply so that we can assist you through the recruitment process.
You must apply online through jobs.govt.nz (you'll find the application form and position description there, too).
