Communications & Engagement Partner

Tau ake rā te moana nei, e papaki kau ana ki te ākau tangata, kakenga waka ka mauru te tohu ki te arearenga o Mauao, he pou herenga mōu, he pou hononga mōu, kia herea ki te tika, kia herea ki te pono. Kia mau, kia ita, kia ū – haumi e, hui e, tāiki e!

Te Tūranga | About the role

Tauranga is growing rapidly, and some of the most significant transport and infrastructure projects in the city’s history are helping shape how our communities live, move and connect. As our Lead Communications & Engagement Partner for the, Transport and Major Project portfolio, you'll sit at the heart of that change, helping tell the stories behind the projects that are transforming our city.

We're changing the way we deliver communications and engagement at Tauranga City Council, moving closer to the work, getting involved earlier and building stronger connections with the communities we serve. As part of our new portfolio-based structure, you'll play a key role in bringing that vision to life by providing strategic communications and engagement leadership across some of Council's most visible and complex programmes.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role where you'll partner closely with project teams, senior leaders and stakeholders to turn complex infrastructure projects into clear, compelling and accessible stories. You'll lead communications and engagement across multiple major projects, oversee portfolio priorities and workflow, and develop a high-performing team of communications and engagement professionals.
