Positive change is in motion. But to ensure we maintain the right momentum, expertise and energy to deliver meaningful change for society and a nationwide scale, we need the right people onboard as part of our mission. And that's where you come in. Bring your passion, experience and drive and contribute to a truly worthwhile purpose – influencing and shaping positive change across the motu, for all New Zealanders.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead the Change Implementation team who lead, support and advise on the delivery of change across government procurement.  While this role is part of New Zealand Government Procurement (NZGP) within MBIE, you don’t need to be a procurement professional.

This role reports to the Head of System Improvement and Engagement within NZGP, as part of a newly formed team focused on engaging with the procurement system to drive cultural and behavioural change.

We are keen to hear from you if you have: 

›    A proven track record of leading cross-system integration in a medium to large public sector or business organisation.
›    Experience implementing major change that delivers improved service delivery and behavioural change. 
›    An ability to lead, influence and make the complex simple. 
›    Experience in building a team with a strong identity that apply their diverse skills and perspectives to achieve common goals.

Applicants must be New Zealand citizens or New Zealand permanent residents and be eligible to obtain and maintain appropriate security clearances.

He āhuatanga nui tēnei e āhei ai ngā mahi whanaketanga ā-ohanga, ā-pāpori hoki ki a ngāi Māori me Aotearoa whānui. E whai tonu ana mātou ki te kōtui atu ki ngā iwi mō te rapu huarahi hou ki te whakaara i ngā kaupapakua roa nei e tāmi ana i a ngāi Māori me Aotearoa whānui, ā, e whai ana hoki ki te tautohu i ngā āheinga kōkiritanga mā ngā iwi, me te tautoko i ngā iwi kia whai mana ake ai ēnei āheinga.
