Our work is secret, but the reason for our success isn’t. It’s our people.
And we’re just like you. We’re ordinary people.  But together, we’re doing extraordinary things to protect New Zealand and New Zealanders.

This unique operational liaison role will see you engaging with the private and public sectors and members of the public to deliver on operational outcomes and contribute to the success of our mission.

• Experience identifying and managing risk
• Great planning and organisation skills; good at juggling priorities
