Role Type: Fixed term full time until 28 March 2025
Location: Wellington
Salary Band: General Salary Range D: $98,955 to $132,427 depending on skills and experience
Korero mo te Turanga - About the Role
As a Senior Adviser, you will be responsible for providing analysis and advice to support changes to Regulations relating to the On-board Cameras Programme (OBC). This Programme is at a crucial juncture requiring critical thinking to ensure regulations best support desired outcomes for the cameras programme, and performance of the fisheries sector.
You'll need to consider how electronic monitoring regulations are impacted by Fisheries Act reforms, and how this affects the obligations on fishers, infringements, and cost recovery regimes.
You will:
Contribute to the content of advice to Ministers and Cabinet papers
Feed into discussion documents for proposals relating to on-board cameras
Assist with submissions and develop proposals for changes to regulations
Develop proposed changes into consultation documents
Provide analysis of submissions on the consultation document proposals
Provide final advice to Ministers
Support other projects as required by the Director Digital Monitoring
Mou - About You
To be successful in this role, you will have proven policy and regulatory change experience in a large and complex environment, as well as significant analysis and reporting knowledge. You'll have experience with policy writing and regulatory systems, ideally from within the public sector.
You are likely from another Ministry or public sector organisation which is a regulator or has a significant policy development function, with an economic or environmental focus. It is not a requirement that you have knowledge of the Fisheries sector. More important is that you understand regulatory frameworks and that you have experience with regulatory change.
As a Senior Adviser, you will need to work and deliver to tight deadlines. Importantly, you will have excellent communication and relationship management skills with the ability to work on multiple reporting activities and be able to make sense of complex or ambiguous issues and determine the most appropriate response.
