We are a small group of dedicated professionals, working in a 'can do' environment.

You will be part of the broader Policy and Strategy team, and working with a Lead Advisor, Economics.
You'll play an integral role in helping the Ministry establish its approach to thinking about how regulation is impacting on the New Zealand economy, and how we potentially measure or assess that impact at a national and sector specific level. Importantly, you will have strong relationship management skills that will allow you to quickly connect with the economics community across government to draw on existing work and datasets.
The role operates within a complex and dynamic environment that requires a capacity to exercise flexibility and sound judgement, juggle multiple tasks and develop and maintain effective relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
