Te Taura Whiri creates the conditions in Aotearoa for all New Zealanders to celebrate and enjoy te reo Māori as part of our national identity – everywhere, every way, and every day.
Join the Māori language movement and be part of the future you want to see for te reo Māori.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Principal Communications Advisor to join our Communications and Promotions team - Te Toko Reo.
Te Toko Reo is the voice of Te Taura Whiri – the team leads, promotes, supports, creates and engages across a range of kaupapa. This includes strategic communications, delivering key events, driving engaging digital platforms and connecting across Te Whare o te Reo Mauriora.
The Principal Communications Advisor would lead the delivery of internal and external communications. This role would suit someone well established in their communications career, with wide-ranging generalist communications skills, and who is keen to work in a kaupapa Māori environment.
About You
You’ll have at least seven years of experience working in communications or similar roles.
Written and oral fluency in te reo Māori is a big plus, but ultimately we would look towards your shining excellence in Communications - besides, you'd be joining a colourful crowd of reo Māori speakers of varying levels.
You will:
- Use your experience to shape solutions to our more gnarly communications challenges
- occasionally be able to work outside of normal working hours, during our busy times such as Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (September).
- Coach and mentor others to build up our Communications expertise
- have clever solutions and want to get the job done right the first time
- Ideally have experience in Event Management
What we offer
- An opportunity to be part of a legacy shaping Aotearoa
- A kaupapa Māori work environment that is a safe space for you to use and expand your reo Māori.
We are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you are excited about this role but your experience does not align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
Salary band $95,000 - $125,000 depending on experience plus KiwiSaver and te reo Māori allowance based on Level Finder Examination.
