Senior Policy Advisor - Growth Funding & Economics - Fixed Term
He angituutanga: The opportunity
Are you passionate about shaping the future of one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing cities? Do you thrive on tackling complex challenges, influencing strategic decisions, and creating policies that make a lasting impact on communities?
At Hamilton City Council, we're on a mission to unlock Hamilton's full potential and become the leading community-focused council in Aotearoa. We're looking for a talented and experienced Senior Policy Advisor to join our Strategy, Growth and Planning team and help drive the policies, funding solutions, and strategic thinking that support our city's future growth and prosperity.
This is a 12-month fixed term opportunity which includes a comprehensive handover and the opportunity to lead significant strategic policy work already under way.
This role offers the chance to step into meaningful, high-impact work from day one. You’ll be part of a supportive and collaborative team, working across policy, planning, infrastructure and finance to help shape how Hamilton grows and how that growth is funded. It’s a great opportunity for someone wanting to broaden their senior policy experience, build expertise in growth funding and economics, and contribute to decisions that have a visible impact on the city’s future.
Why join us?
This is an opportunity to contribute to work that genuinely matters. You'll play a key role in delivering our Economics and Policy Programme, leading complex policy initiatives and providing expert advice on growth funding and economic development issues that shape the future of Hamilton.
As a trusted advisor and policy leader, you'll:
- Lead the development, review, and implementation of strategic policy initiatives.
- Provide high-quality advice to senior leaders, elected members, and stakeholders.
- Deliver complex economic, legislative, and policy analysis to support informed decision-making.
- Prepare governance-ready reports, briefings, submissions, and public-facing materials.
- Lead consultation and engagement processes with internal and external stakeholders.
- Manage policy projects from planning through to delivery and implementation.
- Mentor and guide analytical work across the team, helping build organisational capability.
You'll be at the centre of important conversations about growth funding, infrastructure investment, urban development, and how Hamilton continues to grow sustainably and successfully.
We're looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with practical delivery.
You are curious, collaborative, and motivated by making a difference. You enjoy working through complex issues, building strong relationships, and helping others succeed. Most importantly, you bring a positive mindset and a genuine commitment to creating better outcomes for communities.
If you're looking for a role where your expertise can influence real change and contribute to the future of a growing city, we'd love to hear from you.
