With our new strategy providing the roadmap for what we're working to achieve and how we'll get there, opportunities are emerging as we seek to expand our capability and talent in new and different spaces.

We're looking for a Planning & Delivery Manager to lead the development and delivery of our Access portfolio roadmap – a key enabler of our long-term strategy.

This newly created role is all about turning planning into action and making a real impact on how we deliver change at Chorus.

You'll bring structure and clarity to our planning processes, ensuring we're focused on the right priorities and delivering at pace.

From managing our quarterly planning cycles to tracking performance and aligning resources, you'll be the go-to for keeping our Access initiatives on track and future-fit.

You'll work across a wide network of stakeholders – from internal teams to external partners – to ensure our roadmap is robust, our delivery is seamless, and our planning is always one step ahead.

If you're someone who thrives on structure, loves working with data, and enjoys collaborating across diverse teams – this could be the role for you.

You're a natural planner with a sharp analytical mind and a knack for bringing people together.

You know how to influence with respect, and you're not afraid to challenge the status quo to drive better outcomes.

Here's what you'll bring :

Demonstrated experience in resource planning and delivery – you turn planning into action.

Experience leading planning and delivery processes in agile or adaptive environments.

Creation of business unit portfolio plans and roadmaps with key stakeholder input.

Strong understanding of project approval governance frameworks.

Confidence working with data to inform prioritisation and decision-making.

A collaborative mindset and the ability to influence across diverse teams.

A passion for continuous improvement and future-focused thinking.

We're shaping a future where all New Zealanders are free to access opportunities that define their own lives, as we expand our network to help Aotearoa grow.

With a new strategy in place and a powerful, inspiring purpose, Chorus is an exciting space right now.

We're on the path to moving from being the great network builder to being the great network operator.

To do that, we embrace our mindsets : Be bold, ignite growth, Honour our past, reimagine our future, and Connect communities, empower people.

We need people who not only embody these mindsets and the underpinning behaviours but who also inspire others to do the same.

With our Chorus Care package benefits behind you, you'll have the opportunity to learn and grow alongside a caring, open-minded team in an environment that embraces diversity, encourages innovation, redefines flexibility, and offers an enviable work-life balance.

We know how to do hybrid working well and have been doing it for years.

We encourage you to find ways to work flexibly.

If it suits your circumstances and delivers great outcomes for Chorus – that's when you know you've found the Flex@Chorus Sweet Spot!

We have a fair, inclusive and equitable culture where our differences are our strengths, we connect on shared values, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Please let us know of any accessibility requirements you would like us to consider to support you with your application.

We know women are underrepresented in senior roles, and we want to change that.

If you're a woman looking for your next step, in a company that genuinely supports your growth, has a flexible work culture and visible female leaders – we'd encourage you to apply.
