About the Role

Reporting to the All of Government (AoG) Portfolio Manager, we currently have an excellent opportunity for a Commercial Specialist to join a high performing team within the New Zealand Government Procurement Branch.

The Commercial Specialist AoG works collaboratively to ensure that a segment of collaborative government contracts generate the best value for New Zealand, while ensuring that agencies needs are being met. Each Category team is responsible for a delegated portfolio / category of government expenditure.

This role is a great opportunity to lead a key category within the Specialised Services Portfolio. As the Commercial Specialist AoG, you’ll take primary responsibility for the Insurance Brokering Services category. While experience in the insurance market is a bonus, it’s not essential- we’re looking for someone with strong commercial acumen and a collaborative mindset.

New Zealand Government Procurement (NZGP), part of MBIE, supports government agencies and suppliers to deliver fair, inclusive, and efficient procurement. We're a team of specialists in data, systems, communications, and contract management, passionate about using procurement to achieve broader outcomes - like reducing emissions, supporting workers, and strengthening iwi relationships.

We do this by working with others to create an environment that supports businesses to be more productive and internationally competitive, enables all New Zealanders to participate in the economy through improved job opportunities and by working to ensure quality housing is more affordable.

People are at the heart of our mahi, our way of working is guided by our values which shape our behaviours.

Our aspirations are echoed in our Māori identity – Hīkina Whakatutuki – which broadly means ‘lifting to make successful'. MBIE recognises the partnership founded under Te Tiriti o Waitangi between Māori and the Crown and is committed to giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We will do this through enduring, meaningful and effective partnerships with iwi, Māori, other Māori groups / organisations and the Crown, as this is critical to enable economic and social development, both for Māori and for wider Aotearoa New Zealand. 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.
