General Manager - People & Community Partnerships
Everyday brings new opportunities when you are part of our team at Taupō District Council.
Our diverse organisation is recognised for its vibrant energy, optimism for the future, ambition to act boldly and willingness to do things differently to secure the best result.
We take a balanced and community-focused approach that allows us to strive with consideration on behalf of our district.
We are motivated by ensuring we are a district of connected communities who thrive and embrace opportunities and hold this greater purpose in mind in all that we do.
In this role, you will lead the future focused, considered delivery of customer and community services for the organisation.
Actively supporting Council in the realisation of its aspirations for the district, you will provide trusted thought leadership and expertise across the organisation.
You will achieve this through collaboration with Councillors, fellow Executive Leaders, our Enterprise Leaders, iwi/hapu, and district-wide community groups.
As a member of the Executive Team, you will oversee the Community Engagement, Communications, District Customer Relations, Iwi and Co-Governance and People and Culture business units of Council, driving active engagement and inspiring exceptional performance.
We are looking for an individual who has excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to engage effectively with a wide range of people.
You will have well-established, positive relationships across the district and at least six years' experience in Central or Local Government is essential.
You will need to have demonstrated leadership experience at tier 2 level within a comparable function and be a proven, strategic long-term thinker who has a thorough understanding of the relationships between community, business, te ao Māori, and economic development.
Our people are accomplished, capable, and driven by curiosity to learn more - about the council, its impact, and their own potential.
Your career aspirations will be supported and in our flexible, strengths-based environment you'll be encouraged to be the best version of yourself in and out of work.
We collaborate closely and lead with empathy - for our colleagues and for our community.
We enable our people to find the flexibility within their role to do more of what matters to them.
When you join us, you'll enjoy our:

Strong focus on wellness - discounted gym membership and health insurance and wellbeing initiatives to support your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing
Flexible work environment - work from home options (although you'll probably want to base yourself in our brand-new office and soak up the spectacular lake/mountain views), and flexible hours to promote a great work-life balance
Assistance with ongoing professional development - access to learning and networking opportunities to help you grow
Generous leave entitlements!
Settling in support - if you're joining us from outside of the district, we'll work with you to make a seamless transition

If you are motivated by making real, positive change and passionate about delivering great outcomes for people community-wide, apply now!
CLOSING DATE:
28th January 2025 or when the vacancy is filled.
5pm, 28/01/2025 or when the vacancy is filled.
