At NZ Post, delivering for Aotearoa takes great people, clear processes and strong operational discipline. As our MOS Specialist, you'll play a key role in the design, development and ongoing evolution of our Management Operating System (MOS) across Customer Service Delivery.

You’ll bring experience designing and implementing operating models, management operating systems or similar frameworks within complex operational environments.
