• Experience using frameworks and procedures to assess risks, develop options, and recommend preferred approaches.

• A strong delivery focus, with the ability to manage priorities, meet agreed timeframes and ensure outputs achieve the desired results.
• Confidence engaging constructively with regulated entities, including at management, executive and board level.
• A collaborative, one-team mindset, with the ability to build effective relationships internally and with the Financial Markets Authority who is our joint regulator.
• A commitment to RBNZ's values, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Te Ao Māori, diversity, equity and inclusion, and creating a safe and healthy workplace.
