November 7, 2024
The Office of the Auditor-General | Te Mana Arotake(the Office) aims to improve trust and promote value in the public sector. Our audits of public organisations – from government departments to councils and schools – play a major part in ensuring that New Zealand's public sector remains one of the most trusted in the world. No other organisation, public or private, has the overview of the whole public sector that the Auditor-General has.
We're looking for Principal Advisor, Research, to play a pivotal role in our small research team, carrying out medium-sized analytics and evaluation to create fresh insights and advice about the Office's work. In this role, you'll also be involved a variety of other survey and research projects that help improve the value of the public sector, like our recent commentary on Te Tai Waiora: Wellbeing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
At the Office we have a reputation for independent and high-quality work. This is a hands-on role for someone happy to be responsible for their own projects while also providing intellectual leadership and support on other work. In your own projects you'll be responsible for all parts of the research process, from project planning and governance to reporting to our leadership team and external stakeholders.
To be successful in this role, you'll have:
- a relevant tertiary qualification and a commitment to ongoing professional development;
- an understanding of te Tiriti o Waitangi and te ao Māori;
- significant experience in carrying out research, surveys, and evaluation work at a senior level in the public sector;
- proven leadership in research and extensive experience of analytical and survey frameworks, methods, and tools;
- advanced written and oral communications skills and the ability to present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders; and
- an in-depth understanding of statistics and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data.
We offer our staff:
- Learning and development opportunities.
- Supportive, flexible working.
- Health and well-being benefits.
It is preferable that you're able to gain and maintain a Confidential national security clearance. Ordinarily, this means that you must be a New Zealand citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a current residency class visa and intend to become a citizen when eligible. You must have a five-year checkable background in New Zealand, the UK, the USA, Canada, or Australia. Use this online tool to self-check your eligibility for a security clearance (please note that this is not part of the formal security clearance process): www.protectivesecurity.govt.nz/eligibility-tool
