Ngā kawenga | About the role

This is an exciting time to join our organisation as we embark on a journey of transformation in line with our new and bold organisational strategy Hōkai Rangi: one that builds on the good things that are already happening, learns from doing, and, most importantly, innovates to find new and alternative ways of doing things to achieve better outcomes with Māori and their whānau.

In this key role, you will be a trusted adviser to our business. You'll be embedded and invested with the DCE and Business Group that you support, responsible for the proactive and effective delivery of reporting, insights, influence and impact to help your DCE and Business Group succeed. Using your talent to manage effective relationships you'll support the quality of our investment framework and the management decisions to ensure that business strategy is delivered in a fiscally sustainable way and within an acceptable level of risk.

If you are curious and wanting to learn, we are a complex organisation where the opportunity to upskill and grow is available.

We are a collaborative team where you can bounce ideas off each other and have support within the unit, so someone who is able to work independently but also alongside others and bring them along on the journey will be ideal.

This Business Partner role will provide the opportunity to coach and mentor the Analysts around you that support the business partnering team.

• Proven communication skills, both written and oral and the ability to present complex information to a range of audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to use analytical decision making and financial management skills to successfully improve business performance.  You will be proactive and curious to explore the “what”, the “so what”, and the “what now”.
• Experience mentoring, coaching and supporting finance peers.
