As an Investment Coordinator, you will play a key role in planning, coordinating and delivering science funding rounds across MBIE’s science investment funds (e.g., Catalyst Fund).

We are committed to continuing to partner with iwi in order to find new sustainable solutions to address long standing systemic and cross‑cutting issues facing Māori and wider Aotearoa New Zealand and we are also committed to identifying opportunities for iwi to lead and creating an enabling environment for iwi to leverage these opportunities.
