Senior Policy Analyst (and 2IC)

Senior Policy Analyst (and 2IC) | permanent | Wellington

We are supporting one of the central government agencies with recruiting for a Senior Policy Analyst vacancy. This is a permanent position based in Wellington.

The required skillset for this role is ‘core policy’, so if you bring experience working in policy teams in NZ central government agencies, where you have been leading complex policy projects, developing options and providing policy advice to Ministers about issues facing New Zealand, then please read on.

This particular opportunity will suit an experienced Senior with a passion to progress their career towards people leadership, as the role not only expects coaching and mentoring less experienced team members, but also provides the opportunity to be 2IC (the second-in-command). You will lead and deliver (and support others to) evidence-based complex and sensitive policy projects & programmes of work.

The work environment incorporates a mix of Social policy levers, and Market levers. If your policy career has seen you working in social systems, and/or economics related-, and/or financial markets related policy matters, then this role might be particularly suitable for you.

The work also incorporates plenty of cross-agency work, which you’ll need to be adept at and enjoy.

This is an opportunity to be working in Big P policy analysis and advice, on complex, interesting and varied work, and to be 2IC and further develop your people leadership acumen.
