• Support the application of Council’s programme and project management practices to initiatives within the Māori Outcomes Fund 

• Support Ngā Mātārae to analyse a range of insights and data to improve delivery of Māori Outcomes 

• Develop information and provide support to governance boards overseeing the Māori Outcomes Fund 

• Work closely with Māori Outcomes Leads and project leads across Council and CCOs, as well as with Council’s finance and risk teams 

• Collate and analyse progress reporting and prepare regular monthly and quarterly reports for managers and council committees 

• Conduct project reviews and analyse portfolio information to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement 

• Support the ongoing refinement and operation of the Māori Outcomes Fund, including the development of a three-year rolling investment plan
