Kōrero mō te Tūranga - About the Role
Fisheries New Zealand works to ensure that fisheries resources are managed to provide the greatest overall benefit to New Zealanders. Our focus is the sustainability of New Zealand's wild fish stocks, aquaculture, and the wider aquatic environment, now and for future generations.
We are experiencing an exciting time of innovation and improvement and have a busy pipeline of important work to ensure a thriving and sustainable seafood industry while ensuring the long-term health of the marine environment.
As our Executive and Support Coordinator, you will provide executive support to the Director, Strategy and Governance. You will also facilitate the smooth running of the Fisheries New Zealand Business Unit by providing a wide range of general administrative support services and acting as a key liaison for relevant MPI corporate systems and processes.
To deliver the outcomes required of this position, you will build collaborative relationships across Fisheries New Zealand and MPI. Your excellent interpersonal skills will be pivotal to building successful relationships at all levels and you will quickly acquire a reputation for acting with initiative.
