For those of you who have your eye on the ball so to speak, these are job opportunities not commonly seen in our ‘freedom loving democracy’ of NZ. Any items concerning surveillance are generally described as necessary for the safety of citizens. Not too many years ago this site and others were being watched by a security agency contracted by DoC. Anybody who does not agree with their methods of pest control are not looked kindly upon and are considered a threat to the safety of others it would appear. Similarly the ads below for surveillance staff highlight that a part of their role is protecting New Zealand and its citizens.

QUOTE: ” … together, we’re doing extraordinary things to protect New Zealand and New Zealanders.”

Please make of these ads what you will. Some of the role descriptions would easily, in my opinion, win a prize for gobbledegook. Very difficult to discern just exactly what the job entails.

Description

Do you:

• lead by example and have a hands-on approach to team success?
• drive collaboration and find pathways to achieve successful outcomes?

The NZSIS Operational Solutions Unit is seeking Operational Capability Officers. Our OCOs are at the forefront of leading the delivery of new or improved operational capabilities to ensure that NZSIS collection efforts are effective, relevant and sustainable in a fast changing world.

The role:

What do we mean by operational capability? For us, it is the ability for our people to achieve operational objectives. Those objectives may involve work such as the successful use of technical and digital capabilities, management of human sources, and better exploitation of data or deployment of surveillance assets. The primary people we enable are our NZSIS intelligence operators.

Success in this role would see you delivering operational capability that gives staff better intelligence from existing and new accesses, or even from targets that were previously too hard.

The two main areas of work are:

• developing, maintaining and enhancing productive relationships with partners in pursuit of generating enhanced operational capability;
• establishing and undertaking research, development, coordination, delivery and integration to ensure our operational units are best equipped to conduct intelligence operations.

OCOs can work across both of these areas but may express preference for a specific team. Roles are based in Wellington and Auckland.

To be successful in this role you will be:

• collaborative and willing to use your initiative to deliver operational capability work streams in a new and growing team;
• at the forefront of implementing and embedding new processes and systems, and continuously improving them;
• ensuring processes are fit for purpose leading to the delivery of genuinely new innovative operational capability that balances assurance and rapid implementation for our operational staff;
• flexible and adaptable, contributing your intelligence background and problem solving aptitude to helping shape how we deliver new operational capability;
• working on multiple varied workstreams – which might be centred around new equipment, a new relationship, new policy or agreement, or even a new way of collaboration – all in the pursuit of enhanced operational capability.

The ideal candidate will drive innovation and be able to multi-task and plan. You will enjoy working under pressure and have pride in delivering solutions that directly enable our operational staff. This role works alongside, and has access to, a new team of like-minded colleagues who will have significant input in deciding the best way, or alternative ways, to deliver. Additionally, you will build a strong level of trust with established teams and become a respected knowledge source and problem solver.

Key attributes:

• Driven to collaborate, partner and independently plan and deliver on work streams
• Be prepared to travel domestically and internationally in pursuit of operational capability planning or relationship building
• A dedicated, highly motivated team member displaying initiative and willing attitude
• Comfortable with breaking new ground, change and embedding new processes and systems
• Your background should include experience in an intelligence context, operational /project management or planning, exposure to intelligence collection, relationship management and problem solving

What we offer:

A range of benefits that include professional development and working with a group of people who are passionate about protecting and advancing New Zealand’s way of life. The work is interesting and most importantly, the outcomes from your work will have a direct impact on the security and well-being of New Zealand.
