Connect Data. Understand Hauora. Strengthen Whānau Outcomes.

Are you passionate about using data, evidence and whānau voice to better understand health needs and improve outcomes for Māori? Do you enjoy turning complex information into clear insights that can shape better programmes, services and decisions?

This is an opportunity to establish and develop a Health Intelligence Hub for Te Ara o Hauora, bringing together health information, programme evaluation and whānau perspectives to better understand health needs, identify barriers to care and inform preventative hauora initiatives.

We’re seeking a skilled and forward-thinking analyst who can work across data, evaluation, health-sector partnerships and information governance. You’ll build trusted relationships with health agencies, establish appropriate data-sharing arrangements, develop meaningful reporting and translate complex findings into practical recommendations that support whānau hauora.

This is a fixed-term, part-time position working 32 hours per week, with contract ending 30 Pipiri 2027 | 30 June 2027. There is an opportunity to extend the term for an additional 12-months, dependant on funding and delivery of outcomes.
