Senior Advisor EPMO

Archway Recruitment – Wellington, North Island

About The Organisation

Archway Recruitment is proud to partner with DIA to bring in strategic thinkers who want to influence decisions that matter.

The Department of Internal Affairs (Te Tari Taiwhenua) helps connect people, communities and government to build a safe and prosperous Aotearoa. DIA plays a critical role across digital services, identity, community funding, archives, policy and regulatory work — and is shifting to a stronger enterprise investment approach that ensures its resources and funding are used where they create the most value.

The Enterprise Portfolio Management Office (EPMO) now sits within Strategic Finance. This is intentional : it reflects a shift away from traditional PMO activity and towards enterprise-level investment planning, prioritisation and long-term strategic advice to the Finance and Investment Committee and Executive Leadership Team. The focus is on the whole organisation — not branch‑by‑branch support — and ensuring DIA’s 10‑year investment plan aligns with government, ministerial and Department priorities, organisational capability, and future funding.

About The Role

The Senior Advisor sits at the centre of DIA’s enterprise investment process, working directly with :

• The Finance & Investment Committee
• The Executive Leadership Team
• Branch Investment Boards
• Senior managers across all five branches

Your role is to help these groups make the right investment choices by providing clear insights, confident advice and well‑reasoned recommendations.
