About SSC
New Zealand’s State services are highly regarded internationally. We consistently do well in measurements of trust, integrity and general performance. While we are good, we won’t settle for anything less than great. The State Services Commission is leading a once in a generation transformation to those services that really matter to New Zealanders.

Working for the State Services Commission means being at the heart of government – influencing and driving change. Our challenge is to deliver high performing state services – working as one across the Public and State sector – to achieve results.

We do a variety of things, from ensuring integrity and conduct of the State sector system, through to identifying and developing future leaders. We also employ public service chief executives and oversee the performance of the system as a whole.

If you want to be a leader amongst leaders and truly make a difference for New Zealand then think about joining us – it’s an exciting time to be part of the State Services Commission.

New Zealand’s State Sector – the organisations
What’s in it for you
This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of service delivery across the State Services. You’ll enjoy a huge amount of variety and privileged access to a wide range of public service processes – including the teams that deliver these.

We’re a central agency in a central location that’s closely situated to our Minister and many of our government colleagues.

What we need is someone who’s…
• experienced in delivering high-profile Continuous Improvement programmes – on time and within budget
• worked in one or more public sector organisations and has a good understanding of the complexity involved in delivering public services
• a proven and credible coach to senior leaders
• experienced in delivering value to customers by engaging with the teams working closest to them
• achieved accreditation for using a range of Continuous Improvement tools eg Six Sigma Black Belt.

What the role involves is…
• working with colleagues across a variety of agencies to develop an New Zealand State services approach, techniques and a toolkit for Continuous Improvement
• working within agencies to help them provide ‘proof of concept’ – making sure the initiatives implemented actually work
•  helping executive teams develop plans to embed and sustain Continuous improvement processes – both within their own agencies and across others
• providing development and coaching to others, to develop Continuous improvement capability across Public Services.
