Do you thrive in complexity, juggle multiple priorities with ease, and have a strong grasp of how projects evolve from start to finish?
We’re on the hunt for a Senior Investment and Planning Advisor to join a respected public sector organisation based in the Wellington CBD, just a short walk from the Railway Station. This permanent role offers meaningful work, a supportive environment, and the flexibility to balance your week.
This role requires someone who is either super-passionate or interested in the education sector, or willing to learn about it.
About the Role
You’ll play a key role in shaping investment advice, supporting project planning, and influencing strategic decisions.

What You’ll Do
- Provide strategic advice on investment planning, business case development, and assurance processes
- Maintain oversight of multiple projects and their stages, ensuring alignment and clarity
- Contribute to long-term and strategic planning across various teams and initiatives
- Navigate public sector processes, systems, and rules to move work forward effectively
- Support a range of internal stakeholders across different workstreams
What You’ll Bring
- Proven experience in investment, planning, or strategy roles, ideally within the public sector
- Familiarity with government processes, accountability frameworks, and approval steps
- A strong knowledge of Performance Accountability and experience within a large organisation
- Excellent memory and ability to retain key project details and sequences
- Strong ability to manage and support multiple priorities at once
- Skilled communicator who can translate complex material into clear, actionable advice
- Experience with Government frameworks and work programmes, and working start to finish.
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Salary: $99,000 – $125,000 depending on experience
- Work-life balance: 2 days WFH per week + flexible working options
- Convenient location: Wellington CBD – close to trains, buses, and great coffee
- Supportive culture: Open, pragmatic leadership and a team that values collaboration
- Career growth: Strategic, high-impact work with development opportunities
