You'll have input to developing our business processes, and build strong relationships with our advisors and People Leaders across the organisation.

We recognise full-time work isn't suitable for everyone, so we are open to looking at part-time or other flexible arrangements.

This role is a great stepping-stone to a career as a generalist or specialist in the profession.

• Why Tatauranga Aotearoa - Stats NZ is the place for you, why us, and why Government?
• Any information about your knowledge and experience, or desire to learn and build knowledge and experience of Te Tiriti, Tikanga, Te Reo and Te Ao Māori, and engagement with Māori.
• How you've demonstrated or encouraged diversity and inclusion in and/or outside of work.
• Examples of strong relationships you've built and how and why relationships are important.
• Examples where you've demonstrated leadership, e.g. lifted others, led by example, demonstrated problem-solving, owned a project or piece of work, spoken up for yourself or others.
• Examples where you've shown curiosity and tried new things, taken on other perspectives, challenged the norm, reflecting on your own and others' behaviours, attitudes or motivations to learn.
• Where you've demonstrated customer-centricity, everyone is a customer mentality, collaborated with others and invited feedback, and spent time with diverse people and communities to broaden your views.
