Do you want to be hated by 50,000 public servants?
The Campaigns Manager at the Taxpayers’ Union is heading overseas after many years of stunningly good work fighting for lower taxes, less waste and more transparency in Government.
If you are interested in replacing him, the job advert is here. The key skills are:
- Communication
- Media savvy
- Digital competency
- Organisational skills
- Management
- Networking
- Political Interest
The Taxpayers’ Union is based in Wellington, with a second office in Auckland. The team is small (7-8 staff) and skews young. We take pride in punching above our weight, and being hungry, nimble, and responsive to the 15,000 small dollar donors who make our work possible.
In an increasingly polarised political landscape you’ll need a thick skin to deal with the haters, but will be rewarded with a fun, fast-paced workplace that values creativity and humour and hones your effectiveness as a communicator and team leader.
Above all, you’ll be fighting for a cause of virtue: protecting hard-working taxpayers from the grasping hands of the state and championing the small-government values that have seen New Zealand ranked as one of the world’s most free economies.
