Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) purpose is to grow the New Zealand economy to provide a better standard of living for all New Zealanders.

​

We do this by working with others to help businesses to be more competitive, improving job opportunities and by ensuring quality housing is more affordable.

If you are enthusiastic about New Zealand’s future and providing a better standard of living for all New Zealanders then beginning your career as a Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Policy Graduate or intern is for you.

 

MBIE is the Government’s lead business-facing agency. We are a diverse organisation and our work is varied, challenging and rewarding. You will have the opportunity to directly influence the way business is done in New Zealand through contact with Ministers, influencing legislation and having day-to-day interaction through our stakeholders. We provide a positive work environment with
an emphasis on career growth and progression.

 

Celebrating success is an important part of our culture and it is what makes MBIE a great place to work. Our teams, branches and groups regularly get together to recognise and celebrate colleagues who demonstrate our character – shape, collaborate and deliver – and who go the extra mile to make MBIE successful.

 

Specific employee benefits include Southern Cross Healthcare Insurance at reduced rates, a Westpac banking package, and an Employee Assistance Programme. Beyond that we promise you a structured development programme and the opportunity to work with some of the best policy minds in the world on challenging work with real impact.

 

We will be starting our Graduate recruitment process for our early 2017 graduate intake in July – for further details keep an eye on nz.gradconnection.com. There will be graduate roles available in some key areas of our organisation, so follow your passion and kick off your career with us!
