We embrace diversity and inclusiveness, are passionate about our mahi, and value work-life balance. We welcome experiences from different sectors. Our work supports New Zealand's cultural system that contributes $14.9 billion to the country's GDP and supports over 115,000 jobs. These range from screen production to symphonies, broadcasting to ballet, kapa haka to heritage and more. Our mahi helps the Government promote Aotearoatanga, our unique cultural identity, from policy to programme delivery. With our partners — iwi Maori, public sector organisations and funded agencies — we connect local communities to cultural experiences that enrich lives. Hiring the people we need We are seeking people to join us who fill gaps and round out our strengths. We value capabilities within teams that span the public sector and the cultural system— we seek individuals who are committed to improving both. We aim for diversity at all levels, and that our Ministry reflects the communities we serve. We hire to ensure our values thrive. Our Kia Toipoto plan outlines activities that will help build fairness, inclusion and representation across the Ministry. What people say about working here Working at Manatu Taonga provides unique opportunities. If you want to have an impact on the public and cultural sectors, there is no better place to be. As a relatively small team with a wide portfolio, we get involved in a huge range of work. That diversity, exposure and strong connection to our two sectors means we constantly stretch into new areas and add to our skills and knowledge. Manatu Taonga leads the sector. We influence government policy and funding and drive the way our important stories are told. The work we do every day has a huge effect on how New Zealanders engage with the culture and heritage of Aotearoa. Our work takes us to concerts, community events, commemorations and more. We are often there when people connect with their heritage and culture in a way they never have before. That's a special place to be, and we wouldn't get it anywhere else. #J-18808-Ljbffr
