This new position is at the heart of national security and our operational solutions function.

Your focus in this role will be to lead and develop the management and maintenance of existing operational capabilities across our operational teams to ensure they remain relevant and sustainable.

• Extensive field or operational experience in a complex environment, or comparable experience in an intelligence collection and assessment role
• Successfully completed an NZSIS operational role training course, or other recognised equivalent
• Demonstrated planning and delivery experience
• Leadership ability and experience leading operational teams to deliver results
• Excellent initiative, judgement, problem solving and decision making skills

This role is unique and within an exciting operational environment. And if you want to have an opportunity to be creative and drive innovative ways of working, we would love to hear from you.
