Expression of Interest – Transformation Director / Change Lead (Local Government Reform)

QLG AdvisoryAuckland, Auckland, New Zealand
11 hours ago
Job description

Overview

QLG Advisory is preparing to support NZ district councils through a wave of reform-driven transformation. We're building a contractor pool of experienced professionals to lead and deliver change across operating models, workforce structures, and service portfolios.

Location : QLG Advisory is headquartered in Auckland. Assignments will be council-based across New Zealand. While roles are technically hybrid, councils will expect a high degree of physical presence—on-site collaboration is essential to successful delivery.

This is an Expression of Interest , not a live vacancy.

We’re seeking to connect with :

  • Transformation Directors – embedded leadership, roadmap delivery, business improvement
  • Change / HR Leads – workforce transition, LEAN role design, capability uplift

If you’ve led successful transformation in government or complex service organisations—and know how to take an organisation with you—we’d love to hear from you.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to help shape stronger, more resilient local communities
  • Embedded, strategic roles with real impact
  • Assignment-based flexibility (6–24 months)
  • Sector-aligned delivery frameworks
  • Co-design ethos : build capability, leave IP behind
  • What We’re Looking For

  • A track record of leading successful transformation projects—in councils, central government, or private sector (council experience preferred)
  • Strengths in collaborative operating model design, business improvement, and LEAN-informed service redesign
  • The courage to propose bold solutions—even when they challenge the status quo
  • The emotional intelligence to work collaboratively with council teams, not as a lone visionary
  • Ability to lead from within—trusted, practical, and future-focused
  • Next Steps

    If this sounds like you, please express interest via LinkedIn or email We’ll be in touch as opportunities emerge.
