• Rangatahi
• Business networks across the rohe
About you
We are seeking a Kaupapa Māori leader and relationship manager to guide strategy, build strong networks, and deliver high‑impact programmes. This hands‑on Executive Director role is not a traditional role - you’ll work alongside partners, advocates, and the Board to drive the mahi from strategy to on‑the‑ground delivery.
Success in this role will come from having strong, relevant networks across local and central government, iwi, business networks, and education. You will be tasked with unlocking Māori potential and capability, and ensuring Māori values and leadership are embedded in the future of the Wellington region.
The Role
Lead and support the Board to achieve strategic objectives and deliver core programmes—the strategic plan is clear.
Operationally manage partnerships and project delivery.
Manage funding applications and agreements.
Advocate at governance level while also delivering Kaupapa on the ground.
Leverage shared resources and networks to seek out opportunities.
No direct reports—you will have autonomy.
Travel across Te Ūpoko o Te Ika to support and build on relationships.
Skills & Experience
Proven experience in Kaupapa Māori economic or community development.
A skilled relationship builder with iwi, Māori business networks, and government partnerships.
Capability to manage modest budgets and deliver through partnerships.
Deep understanding of Māori governance and tikanga Māori in decision‑making.
Excellent communication—formal reporting, public speaking, stakeholder engagement.
Collaborative, agile leadership with a hands‑on approach.
Desirable
Experience with procurement, digital innovation, or rangatahi workforce initiatives.
Knowledge of government funding systems and economic development frameworks.
Reo Māori proficiency or a strong commitment to developing it.
Why Apply?
Be central to shaping Kaupapa Māori‑led transformative change in Aotearoa.
Operate with autonomy, supported by trusted networks and meaningful partnerships.
Be supported by an outstanding Board that is committed to the Kaupapa.
Please note: only applicants with the legal right to work in New Zealand will be considered for this role.
How to Apply
Please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining your experience in Kaupapa Māori leadership and economic development. Applications will remain open until a suitable applicant is engaged. We will be screening applications as they come to us. For any pātai, contact Anita Murdoch on 04 901 6444 for a confidential discussion.

Pharmacist - Wairarapa
$90,000 – $100,000 | Wairarapa, Wellington
Permanent: This team of 18 are looking for a Pharmacist to support their busy, 7 day operations over 2 community pharmacies. Great package, accredited employer.
About the role:
This lovely, close-knit team are looking for another Pharmacist so they don’t need access to locums when someone wants leave, is sick or attends training.
Ideally, they are seeking a full-time person but they would also consider flexibility and part-time hours for the right person.
As part of a close-knit team including the owner/operator, you will need to be flexible to turn your hand to a little bit of everything. Currently, the split of work includes 65% dispensary (they have robotics to support this work) and 35% additional services and consults. They operate two pharmacies in this community so it means you will have variety.
Collaboration between the retail and dispensary team is important and this team work very well together already.
About you:
Versatility and the ability to multi-task is important – your ability to step in and help where possible is really important. There are a team of Technicians and an intern to support so you will need to be a team player.
While the owner of this business would consider supporting a newly qualified Pharmacist, there are obvious benefits from working with an experienced person. We are happy to speak with applicants at all levels – if you are right for the team, everything is possible.
What’s in it for you:
Personal, community-based Pharmacy environment
This pharmacy operates Monday to Sunday 9am-6pm – NO late nights, or shift work.
Lovely, experienced team
The owner of the business operates two pharmacies in the community so there is scope for change without changing employers
The owner of the business is an accredited employer so if you are on a work visa, a move here is possible so you can consider progress to a residency visa
The owner will support the cost of professional development, registration and insurances
Take action:
If you have been considering a change or are just curious, we would be very happy to kōrero and share a little more detail about the role.
We know it’s a competitive market and that it will seem like a small community where everyone knows everyone. This is a chance to find out more with privacy and confidentiality assured.
