Bring a higher purpose to your finance career by helping to give homes to Kiwis in need

There’s never been a more exciting time to be part of the public housing sector in this country. At Housing New Zealand (HNZ), we are providing thousands of homes for people in need. And as a socially focused landlord, we are continuing to provide quality housing and tenancy management services to families and tenants. We own or manage around 63,000 properties nationwide and more than 184,000 people live in our properties.

We are embarking on one of the largest housing building programmes this country has seen in decades as we significantly increase the number of homes we provide and improve the quality of our current stock.

The role you’ll play

This new senior role will be the catalyst for a change in purpose for finance at HNZ, evolving from operational support to enterprise wide decision support. This team will challenge the status quo, and take an organisation-wide approach to problem solving, efficiency improvements and risk management. You’ll be proactive in evaluating options and providing alternative ways in which HNZ manages CAPEX and OPEX to maximise outcomes and minimise risk. Ultimately your work will improve both commercial and social outcomes.

What you’ll be doing

This is a pivotal Business Partnering role, supporting your allocated Asset Development Group (ADG) construction programme. As a trusted challenger of thinking you will provide fresh insight and influential strategic commercial and financial advice and support. You’ll make recommendations to the business to ensure the best decisions are made for ADG and for Housing NZ to deliver its strategy.

Your responsibilities

• Provide robust, effective business and financial leadership and advice to the ADG Management Team
• Actively influence day to day decisions, shape strategy and the direction of the ADG business group
• Adopt a “challenger” posture, when required, grounded in facts and data to ensure the best quality decisions are made to deliver on HNZ’s strategy
• Leverage relationships with internal and external peers to create a collaborative approach in solving business problems and identifying opportunities
• Support the Finance and Performance leadership team to drive innovation and business improvement.

About you & what’s in it for you

You will be someone who sets direction based on strategy and is confident in engaging others to work collaboratively. You will be at your best when empowering, influencing and motivating others. You will ideally be well qualified with a MBA, Masters (Finance or Economics) or be CPA, CIMA, CAANZ or CFA qualified. You will have a track record in strategic and financial planning, financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting, and project accounting. Critical to your success is your ability to communicate your message along with demonstrated knowledge of the industry in context with the current market climate.

If you want to bring real purpose to your career and you believe that you can really make a difference, then we are the place for you. Our people are driven by a passion to make life better for Kiwis, and this is your chance to join our team and make it happen.
