Ability to demonstrate proactive awareness and engagement with a wide range of cultures and associated protocol and traditions within Auckland, with reference to the Maori Dimension (He Korahi Maori) and Pacific Dimension (Teu le Va).

A positive attitude and desire to enhance Auckland Museum's reputation for excellence.

Exceptional problem-solving skills with a continuous improvement approach to your work, with a high level of attention to detail, organisational skills, and awareness of visual merchandising techniques.
