Just as importantly, you’ll understand the purpose of the FMA and the role we play in building trust and confidence in New Zealand’s financial markets.

• A clear and confident communicator who enjoys building relationships and engaging with a range of people
• Comfortable engaging directly with entities, as well as presenting or speaking at industry engagements
• Able to learn quickly and adapt as priorities change
• Collaborative, curious and willing to ask questions, share ideas and continue learning
