Te Whiwhinga Mahi | The opportunity

Working closely with the Group CEO and senior leadership, you will bring the breadth of your strategic business leadership experience while also providing expertise and direction in Te Ao Māori, to ensure the Sport NZ Group honours its commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

• Developing a bi-cultural approach across the Group lifting Māori cultural capability across the sector.

This is an exciting time to be part of leading Ihi Aotearoa and HPSNZ through a period of change and transition. The Māori representation and strong leadership that already exists on the Ihi Aotearoa Board will soon be enhanced further with the establishment of Te Taumata Māori, a new standalone Māori Governance Roopu that will support the strategic decision making of both Sport NZ and HPSNZ. Int this role, you will work closely with and support the mahi of Te Taumata Māori, operationalising the strategies developed.
