This is an exciting opportunity for professionals with operational intelligence experience to transition into vocational education. You'll support learners completing the New Zealand Certificate in Intelligence (Information Management) Level 5, helping them build the practical skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed across intelligence, law enforcement, defence, regulatory, and private-sector environments.

• Hold Unit Standard 4098, or be willing to obtain it with Skills Group's support as part of your professional development.
• Strong analytical thinking, professional judgement, and written communication skills.
• Ability to explain complex intelligence concepts clearly to adult learners.

At Skills Group, our purpose is to maximise human potential. For more than 30 years, we've partnered with learners, employers, and industry to build a skilled workforce across New Zealand. You'll join a supportive team where your expertise is valued, your development is encouraged, and your work helps prepare professionals for meaningful careers in the intelligence sector.
