- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a focus on clarity, accuracy, and sound reasoning
- A good understanding of digital information management and the challenges of digital records
- An understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and a commitment to supporting the Crown's obligations
You will be someone who can work both independently and collaboratively, manage multiple priorities effectively, and bring a high standard of professionalism to regulatory operations.
