    Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About the role

    The Wise Group has a lot on the go right now, and helping it all come together clearly, for leaders and kaimahi alike, is where you come in.

    As a Senior Communications Advisor, you'll work closely with stakeholders across Wise Group, turning complex priorities into communications that land.

    One day you might be shaping a key message for a leadership update, the next you're deep in project delivery, making sure an important piece of work reaches kaimahi with clarity and confidence.

    This role suits someone who's just as comfortable crafting a communications strategy as they are rolling up their sleeves to deliver it. You'll be great with tech, quick to learn new systems, and curious about using AI - or already using it in your day-to-day mahi.

    You'll bring top-tier writing skills, able to write natural and engaging content no matter how complex the topic.

    You'll build trusted relationships across the Group, including with communications leads across our entities, and help make sure kaimahi feel informed and supported. You'll bring a calm, steady head when – even when things are ambiguous, busy or high-pressure.

    Working alongside our Communications, Design and Digital teams, you'll be contributing to making a difference for people, whānau and communities across Aotearoa.

    Mōu | About you

    To succeed in this role, you'll bring:

    • Proven experience leading communications projects end to end, ideally in a large or complex organisation
    • Top-tier writing skills, able to write engaging content no matter the topic
    • A steady head - calm, clear and effective even when things are busy or high-pressure
    • Great tech skills and a curiosity about using AI in your mahi (or already doing it) 
    • Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including with senior leaders
    • Experience working with designers and web developers, including writing solid briefs
    • Professional qualification in communications, PR or a related field 
    • Experience working in NGO, public, or community sectors (ideal, not essential)
    • Confidence working across cultures, with a commitment to applying Te Tiriti to your everyday practice

    If you're a strategic communicator who enjoys turning complexity into clarity and building meaningful partnerships, we'd love to hear from you.
