Senior Advisor, Communications & Engagement at Accident Compensation Corporation, Wellington

Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role

Are you passionate about improving the wellbeing of Aotearoa?

We're looking for a senior level communications professional to join our team to improve the way we engage with our customers and deliver better health outcomes for Aotearoa.

Our purpose at ACC is to improve lives every day. It's to put our customers first, show them manaakitanga and support their wellbeing. It's to enable everyone in Aotearoa the freedom to live their lives knowing that if they need us, we'll be there.

Your role helps us deliver this purpose, by working with different areas of the organisation to improve the way we reach and engage with all New Zealanders, lift awareness of the support we provide, and drive business outcomes.

What we're looking for:

• As a senior advisor, you will be comfortable collaborating with leaders and managers across ACC to understand their business problems and develop customer communications and marketing solutions that will deliver results.
• You'll be comfortable pushing back on requests for support that will take your focus and attention away from higher-impact initiatives - we need you to focus on the right stuff!
• When it comes to executing, you will have the support of the broader team, which includes content creators, digital marketers, media engagement specialists and brand professionals. So, you'll know how to lead integrated teams but, will also be motivated and energised by rolling-up your own sleeves and getting stuck into the doing yourself.
• You'll be comfortable in complex and at times ambiguous environments, able to rely on your experience and questioning skills to get to the bottom of what needs to be done.
• An understanding and interest in the wellbeing and health landscape in Aotearoa would be beneficial.

Based on this, we're looking for people with solid experience in senior communication roles, looking for a role they can own and make a difference in.

We can offer a lot in return

• We're a team that focuses on people. We put relationships before task, the team first and build trust through strong delivery. We work collectively to get the best outcome, supporting each other to achieve. With a focused people-care approach your development is prioritised, and we create the space to learn and grow on a regular basis.
• The mahi is rewarding. Working in an organisation with such a strong purpose means the mahi directly makes a difference for our customers. Everyday we're working with good people on things that matter.
• We're a flexible workplace. Part of having a focus on people means we understand that work and life need to go hand in hand. For example, our teams work from home two days a week cutting down on commuting costs and providing more time in their day.
• The benefits aren't bad either. ACC has a range of benefits on offer to its employees from a generous superannuation employer contribution to employee wellbeing and assistance programs.

Working at ACC

We know that a diverse and inclusive team helps us meet the needs of our customers, and we welcome candidates from every ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, age, and those with a disability or who have additional mental health needs. It is important to us that people are free to be themselves at work.

Here are some ways we encourage that:

• Employee networks to support our colleagues from diverse backgrounds.
• The option to explore flexible working that suits your needs and ours.
• Development opportunities in te reo Māori me ngā tikanga.
