  • Build strong relationships across Council to deliver excellent internal service.

You'll bring:

  • Proven experience successfully leading, motivating and developing teams.
  • A collaborative leadership style and the ability to build strong working relationships.
  • Energy, initiative and a genuine passion for continuous improvement.
  • The confidence to lead change and identify opportunities to improve systems and processes.
  • Sound knowledge of information or records management, or the ability to quickly develop expertise in this area.
  • A commitment to excellent customer service and delivering positive outcomes.
  • A Full New Zealand Driver Licence.
  • Relevant qualifications in Information Management, Records Management, Business, or a related discipline are desirable. However, we're equally interested in hearing from experienced leaders who have demonstrated success leading teams, building capability and delivering results.


Above all, we're looking for someone whose leadership, attitude and values will make a positive difference to our team and our organisation.
