Assistant Investigator - 6 months fixed term

We are Aotearoa New Zealand’s privacy regulator – a small, independent Crown Entity established to protect and promote individual privacy.

We have three fixed-term roles to provide us with some “surge capacity” as our Investigations and Dispute Resolution team handles a high volume of privacy complaints from individuals.

The roles will particularly appeal to new graduates looking to develop skills and experience working for a small public sector regulator. You will receive full training and support.

You must be able to start immediately.

We are looking for people who can learn quickly on job and are able to put that learning into practice efficiently and effectively.

Consider applying if you have:

• an interest in the protection and promotion of privacy and safe use of personal information
• a good tertiary level qualification
• excellent verbal and written communication skills, particularly the ability to write clearly and concisely using plain language
• strong analysis and research skills
• good computer literacy, with MS Office products as a minimum
• effective time management, a methodical approach to work and great attention to detail
• the ability to work collaboratively and to take and respond positively to feedback and coaching
• the emotional intelligence to be able to correspond effectively with upset or aggrieved people
• an understanding of, and ability to recognise and understand key Māori, disability, and other cultural and human rights concepts

At OPC we are committed to upholding the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we work in partnership with Māori to take a te ao Māori perspective on privacy.

You will need to have the legal right to work in New Zealand to be considered for this role.
