That is where your passion and experience in understanding privacy, data, and information practice can influence new ways of thinking and working.

In this role you will work with the Principal Advisor – Privacy and other senior/advisors in providing high quality and timely advice and support on a wide range of privacy issues. You will need to be technically proficient, agile, adaptable and a strong communicator.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with experts to build your knowledge and provide advice and guidance on some of MBIE’s most complex and privacy matters.

MBIE's goal is to create a resilient and high-performing economy that delivers real and ongoing quality of life for all New Zealanders.

We do this by working with others to create an environment that supports businesses to be more productive and internationally competitive, enables all New Zealanders to participate in the economy through improved job opportunities and by working to ensure quality housing is more affordable.

MBIE recognises the partnership founded under TeTiritio Waitangi between Māori and the Crown and is committed to giving effect to TeTiritio Waitangi. We will do this through enduring, meaningful and effective partnerships with iwi, Māori, other Māori groups/organisations and the Crown, as this is critical to enable economic and social development, both for Māori and for wider Aotearoa New Zealand. We are committed to continuing to partner with iwi in order to find new sustainable solutions to address long standing systemic and cross-cutting issues facing Māori and wider Aotearoa New Zealand and we are also committed to identifying opportunities for iwi to lead and creating an enabling environment for iwi to leverage these opportunities.

We can't wait to hear from you!
