As a Senior Organisational Development Advisor, you'll be at the forefront of designing and delivering impactful OD initiatives that align with our strategic goals and values. You'll work closely with leaders, teams, and stakeholders across Council to co-create solutions that build capability, enhance engagement, and embed inclusive, culturally responsive practices.

  • Familiarity with NZ employment legislation, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and tikanga Māori.
  • A passion for innovation, continuous improvement, and making a real difference.
  • What’s in it for you?

    This is your opportunity to contribute to a workplace that prioritises kaimahi ora—workforce wellbeing—and to be part of a team that's committed to caring for the people who care about our city. You'll work in a supportive environment where your ideas are welcomed, your growth is encouraged, and your impact is felt.
