Senior Communications Advisor

He angituutanga: The opportunity 

Reporting to the Communications Manager, you’ll play a key role in creating clear, consistent, and engaging communications that support IAWAI and its infrastructure programme. This is a great opportunity to help people understand the important work we do to deliver safe and reliable drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater services across our communities.

You’ll translate complex technical and operational information into simple, accessible messaging, and develop communications plans, content, and advice that support organisational initiatives and major infrastructure projects. Working closely with senior leaders, technical specialists, and delivery teams, you’ll make sure our communications are accurate, aligned, and tailored to the needs of different audiences.

In this role, you’ll be a trusted advisor, helping teams navigate issues, respond to emerging matters, and maintain a strong and consistent voice for IAWAI. You’ll also work in partnership with Aronui Paaoho to ensure our communications reflect our brand and channels and collaborate with Aronui Maaori to ensure our messaging is culturally appropriate and informed by tikanga where needed.
