He angitūtanga: The opportunity

 

As Written Communications Advisor, you’ll be at the centre of ensuring the smooth and professional flow of written information within and beyond the Mayoral Office.

 

You’ll manage written communication – overseeing the preparation of official and general correspondence and maintaining records, alongside managing official information (LGOIMA) requests for the Mayor and Chief of Staff.  

 

Working closely with colleagues across the Mayoral Office, wider council group, and external partners, you’ll help maintain clear communication and trusted relationships.

 

He kōrero mōu: About you

 

We’re looking for a highly organised and composed professional — calm under pressure, detail-focused, and able to manage shifting priorities with confidence in a fast-paced and politically nuanced environment.

 

You’ll bring proven experience supporting senior leaders — ideally within local government — and combine strong communication skills with sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive or confidential matters.

 

With exceptional attention to detail and strong written and verbal communication skills, you’ll engage effectively with people at all levels and enjoy working both independently and as part of a close-knit team.

This role offers the chance to apply your skills in a high-profile environment, supporting the Mayor and contributing to outcomes that matter for Auckland and its people.
