- Join a collaborative team with a ‘can do' attitude
Salary range: $127,142 – $168,973 pro rata, with appointment salary dependent on skills and experience.
About the Ministry for Regulation:
The Ministry for Regulation is a newly established small government agency with a big job to do. We are a small group of dedicated professionals, working in a 'can do' environment.
The New Zealand government uses regulation to protect communities from harm, and to improve outcomes for its people. Our job is to help improve the overall quality of regulation – and the way it is implemented – by working across the public service with experts in their fields.
About the Role:
In this pivotal role, you'll be the sole finance expert within the Ministry. You will work closely with our shared services team, and the Deputy Chief Executive, to ensure the Ministry meets its obligations and follows best practice.
You will use your generalist finance and accounting experience to lead advice on financial activity across the Ministry. You'll deliver insightful reports to monitor expenditure and provide valuable financial advice to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), ensuring timely recommendations when necessary. Along with your legal colleagues, you will also support procurement activity.
Additionally, you'll take ownership of the month-end and year-end timetable, liaising with various stakeholders, and compiling essential audit files. Your collaboration with business groups will ensure that the SLT remains informed about key financial risks and decisions. By fostering strong relationships with key stakeholders, including government departments and shared services teams, you will play a crucial role in enhancing our financial transparency and operational efficiency. Join us to make a meaningful impact and drive excellence in our financial processes.
