BUSINESS ANALYST – PROJECT & PORTFOLIO

Mātanga Pakihi

Permanent Opportunity | Porirua

Successful change starts with understanding people, processes, and outcomes.

We're looking for an experienced and pragmatic Business Analyst – Project & Portfolio to help Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira deliver strategic initiatives, organisational improvements, and transformational change. This is the opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio of projects and programmes, partnering with leaders, subject matter experts, and project teams, to turn ideas, challenges, and opportunities into clear, actionable outcomes.

This is more than a traditional business analysis role. You'll play a key part in shaping initiatives from discovery through to delivery, helping stakeholders understand business needs, define requirements, identify opportunities for improvement, and make informed decisions based on evidence and insight. You'll also contribute to project and portfolio disciplines, supporting governance, planning, reporting, risk management, benefits realisation, and organisational readiness to ensure initiatives deliver meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

If you're passionate about solving complex problems, facilitating productive conversations, and helping organisations navigate change with confidence, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact across a values-led organisation.
