Description

Permanent part-time (20 hours / week)

Founded by Kiwiblog’s David Farrar, and Jordan Williams in 2013, the New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union fights for lower taxes, less government waste, and more transparency from those who spend taxpayer money. Our work is on behalf of our 39,000 subscribed supporters and made possible by our thousands of donors.

We are looking for a part-time economic advisor (flexible hours) based in our Wellington office located on Lambton Quay. The role would suit someone in the process of undertaking their honours or masters in economics.

The role requires providing regular economic analysis and advice on current political affairs and policy announcements, including both technical and judgement-based analysis. You will work with our Campaigns Manager, other communications personnel, researchers, and interns in developing economic insights into policy matters of the day, supporting the organisation’s campaigns, and ensuring that economic research outputs are accurate and credible.

The candidate will require a sound economic understanding and an ability to write concisely. This role includes advising those in communications roles on economic matters, and may involve drafting media releases, or occasionally contributing opinion pieces to local and national media outlets (depending on the candidate). Familiarity with public sector accounts is an advantage.

The ideal candidate will have an interest in current affairs and politics. Because of the nature of the organisation, sympathies with economically-conservative, neoliberal, or classical liberal viewpoints is an advantage.

In return, we offer a busy, fun, and creative environment, we welcome ideas and celebrate wins as a team. We discuss ideas for innovation, supporter engagement and offer future opportunity for growth and policy wins.
