As General Manager Courts and Justice Services, you will help shape the laws, systems and policy choices that support a fair, trusted and accessible justice system.
At a time when expectations of the justice system are high, this role offers the chance to lead work that is both intellectually demanding and deeply consequential for New Zealanders.
