  • Drive partnerships : Forge meaningful connections with Massey University, whānau, and Māori communities.
  • Embed Te Tiriti & Kaupapa Māori : Make Te Tiriti o Waitangi and tikanga Māori visible in strategy, policy, and day-to-day operations.
  • Deliver results : Oversee governance, compliance, budgets, reporting, and performance with clarity and excellence.

Who You Are

  • A strategic thinker with proven senior leadership experience and a track record of organisational change.
  • Confident operating within Te Ao Māori, with deep respect for tikanga and kawa.
  • A relationship builder with outstanding interpersonal skills and the ability to influence and inspire.
  • Highly organised, solutions-focused, and resilient, able to thrive in a fast-paced, complex environment.
