Are you excited about leading the development of tools and resources, such as a policy toolkit, to lift system capability?
Do you enjoy proactively identifying problems and opportunities and designing creative and innovative solutions?
If yes, then we need you.
To be successful in this role you will need experience and skills in:
maintaining a strategic overview of government objectives and anticipating the needs of the Minister and Ministry;
building and leveraging great networks, and excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills;
communicating effectively with a wide range of stakeholders;
being agile, innovative, and responsive to changes in priorities and developments in policy advice and service delivery best practices; and
conducting fit-for-purpose analysis, synthesising information from various sources, and using expert knowledge and sound judgment to draw conclusions and provide advice.
It would be great if you also had experience of economic development.
