Description

Competitive salary Life and health insurance Flexible working options If you’re motivated by purpose, complexity, and the chance to create lasting, positive impact - you’ll fit right in. THE OPPORTUNITY This is a real opportunity to help lead meaningful, sector-wide change, and see the results on the ground. This is a rare chance to shape the future of farming in Aotearoa New Zealand. As Pāmu’s Head of Transformation, you’ll lead the delivery of strategic change that directly improves the lives of our people, lifts performance across our farms, and strengthens the resilience of Pāmu for the future. You’ll join a collaborative, values-led organisation where transformation isn’t just about systems - it’s about people, culture, and sustainable impact. You’ll have the scope to set the direction for how we adopt new technologies, including AI and digital agriculture tools, redesign our business processes, and deliver strategic projects and improvements benefiting Pāmu and beyond. You’ll work closely with leaders across the motu to bring practical, meaningful change to life. This role gives you the platform to think big, influence senior decision-makers, and empower teams across our diverse and complex business. You’ll lead a capable team while building your own leadership profile and shaping initiatives that will support Pāmu’s future for years to come. If you’re looking for a senior role where your ideas will be heard, your leadership trusted, and your work will make a visible difference - this is it. ABOUT US Pāmu Landcorp Farming Limited is a State-Owned Enterprise with over 110 farms across New Zealand. Our purpose is to lead the delivery of innovative and sustainable agriculture solutions for future generations. ABOUT YOU You’re someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, people, and change. You bring a big-picture view, a calm and collaborative leadership style, and a genuine desire to make transformation meaningful - not just mechanical. You’re ready for a role where you can influence widely, guide others through complexity, and help shape how AI and digital tools and the right strategic projects and programmes can create real value across the business. You’ll bring several of the following (and we don’t expect you to tick every box): Strategic transformation delivery leadership, ideally across large or complex organisations, where you've shaped direction and enabled business-wide outcomes. You’re adept at project and programme delivery methodologies with a focus on outcomes and benefits. Experience guiding people through ambiguity, bringing clarity, confidence, and practical pathways forward. Ideally, you’ve gained this experience through your own journey as a business analyst, consultant, programme manager or related role. Strength in relationship-building, partnering with senior leaders, technical teams, and operational staff in ways that build trust and momentum. You communicate easily with all stakeholders and employees whether a farm manager or CEO. A future-focused growth mindset, with curiosity about AI, digital agriculture, and new operating models - and how they translate into better performance and wellbeing on the ground. Skill in coaching and empowering teams, creating an environment where people feel supported, informed, and able to succeed. Strong communication and change leadership, ensuring new processes and systems are understood, adopted, and sustained. You have a knack for storytelling and creating compelling content to support – and use the right data to support. A collaborative, inclusive style, valuing diverse perspectives and ensuring all voices are part of shaping solutions. If you’re motivated by purpose, complexity, and the chance to create lasting, positive impact - you’ll fit right in. This role is based at our Corporate Office in Wellington and will require regular travel to our farms and partner sites. BENEFITS We offer a competitive salary package, including health and life insurance, enhanced parental leave benefits, and up to 4% KiwiSaver matching. You'll also receive an extra day of leave over Christmas, plus ongoing training and development. APPLY NOW Applications close on Sunday 30 November 2025.
