Senior Legal and Regulatory Policy Advisor

The role

The Senior Legal and Regulatory Policy Advisor role has been newly established following work to identify opportunities for improvement in our regulatory system. This has caused us to re-assess how laws and regulations relating to our work should apply in our regulatory and operating context. Recent examples include our work to define and apply the Fit and Proper Guidelines in licensing decisions, assessment of the real estate qualification Regulations, and newly applied appeal rights.

There is an increasing demand on REA to translate the regulatory and legislative regime into regulatory policy, procedures and knowledge (guidance or information) for application by our team internally and/or by the sector. This work will sit alongside the work our legal team undertakes to support our day-to-day regulatory activities in licensing and complaints and discipline.

We’re looking for someone to:

• Be responsible for creating sound, thoughtful legal and regulatory policy advice, solutions and approaches that deliver on our legislative intent, support REA’s strategic priorities and meet our overall purpose.
• Play a key part in supporting effective decision making by the senior leadership team, Chief Executive and board, including through any internal committees that may be established, on regulatory policy issues.
• Work across REA in assessing the operational impact of legislative change and policy development and to ensure REA remains up to date with such changes to our legislative and regulatory operating environment.
• Identify and advise on opportunities to improve REA’s regulatory impact and meet its strategic goals and priorities.

We are open to consider flexible working arrangements for this role.

About you

You’ll be a qualified lawyer with at least 4 years post admission experience. Your experience working in a regulatory and policy environment and sound understanding of the machinery of government is essential to allow you to create sound, thoughtful operational policy advice, solutions and approaches.

Benefits

REA’s people are welcoming, collaborative and committed to making a difference for New Zealand. You can expect rewarding and complex work in a sector that is critical to New Zealand. A central Wellington CBD location, commitment to staff professional development, and an active social club are some of the benefits of joining the REA team.

This is an exciting opportunity work in a dynamic team and support diverse New Zealanders to achieve good outcomes in the real estate sector.
