Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role

Improving the performance of, and the public's trust in, the public sector

The Office of the Auditor-General | Te Mana Arotake(the Office) aims to improve trust and confidence in the public sector. The Auditor-General is the statutory auditor of all public organisations, playing a major part in ensuring that New Zealand's public sector remains one of the most trusted in the world. No other organisation, public or private, has the overview of the whole public sector that the Office of the Auditor-General has.

We're looking for an Inquiries Specialist to join our Inquiries team. The Inquiries team is part of the Legal, Policy, and Inquiries Group and carries out inquiries on behalf of the Auditor-General. That work takes an independent, in-depth look at concerns in the public sector and at situations where something might have gone wrong or where money and resources might have been misused, and provides a unique opportunity to consider improvements to the public sector.

Our inquiries often cover complex and high-profile matters. To see some examples of our work, visit our website.

As an Inquiries Specialist, you'll be involved in:

  • assessing whether inquiries are warranted, and making recommendations;
  • gathering information and analysing evidence;
  • preparing reports and other products;
  • meeting and discussing issues with staff of public organisations (at all levels, including senior leadership); and
  • dealing with wide range of issues, organisations, and people.

For this position, we're looking for someone with up to four years' experience, preferably in the public sector.

A tertiary qualification in law, accounting, or other relevant discipline is essential for this position.

We offer our staff:

  • Learning and development opportunities.
  • Supportive, flexible working.
  • Health and well-being benefits.
  • A unique operating environment with Parliament.

What we stand for

People matter | Our independence is critical | We act with integrity and courage | We're here to make a difference
