Creative New Zealand offers a positive, supportive, collaborative, and flexible working environment. We are committed to the hauora of our people and support the growth and development of our whānau in flexible, mana-enhancing ways. We offer a number of kaimahi benefits and genuinely flexible working arrangements.
We recognise Te Tiriti o Waitangi as New Zealand’s founding document and are committed to supporting the role of Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa.
