Experience of leading complex regulatory / customer / business change projects, preferably within the public sector.
Experience in effectively engaging and influencing internal and external stakeholders, preferably across multiple agencies.
Experience in establishing and facilitating effective Governance committees to ensure well-formed decisions are made in a timely fashion.

Able to define business outcomes and benefits and support the definition of innovative solutions to deliver these outcomes.
Proven experience in leading, influencing and building credibility across a range of stakeholders, and developing effective project management communication is essential.
Strong understanding of project management methodologies and frameworks using both waterfall and agile methodologies. Understanding of how related disciplines such as behaviour and insights, design, business analysis and change management contribute to successful delivery and achievement of outcomes.
A tertiary level or professional qualification in a relevant discipline is preferred. You will demonstrate knowledge of, or a willingness to gain an understanding of Te Ao Maori and promote tikanga and Te Reo Maori.
You will also have knowledge of, or a willingness to gain an appreciation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi) as it applies in the public sector.
About us: The Regulatory System Design group supports the regulatory land transport system by ensuring the regulatory framework (i.e., operational policy, standards, and guidance material) is clear and designed to meet the desired outcomes in the system and deliver our regulatory functions.
The Regulatory Framework Optimisation (RFO) team purpose is to deliver key future focused regulatory framework improvement projects and employ insights, data, and analysis to understand regulatory framework performance and guide risk assessment, processes, work programme, and performance.
