Venture Taranaki via Trace Consulting Ltd (2 NEDs)

New Zealand, New Zealand. Vacancy ID: 1807

Position Description

Trustees / Board Members - Te Puna Umanga, Venture Taranaki
With the pending retirement of two trustees and future proofing of additional trustees, NPDC is seeking expressions of interest from well-connected individuals who are passionate about the future prosperity of Taranaki and who are prepared to play an active and present role on the board.

These are paid positions requiring a minimum of 15 – 20 hours of commitment per month.

About The Organisation

Te Puna Umanga, Venture Taranaki (Venture Taranaki) is the regional development agency for the Taranaki region. A Council Controlled Organisation owned by the New Plymouth District Council (NPDC), Venture Taranaki plays a critical role in helping Taranaki reach its potential, catalysing opportunities that result in regional revenue (GDP), job creation, and regional investment.

Guided by the Taranaki Regional Economic Development Strategy: ‘Tapuae Roa: Make Way for Taranaki Strategy’, Venture Taranaki has a clear vision and strategies in place that will guide the organisation towards its long-term goal of creating a resilient, high-value and low emissions future for the region.

Venture Taranaki strategic priorities are Energy Transition, Food and Fibre 'grow Taranaki', and Destination. These strategic priorities fit within the broader regional strategic framework of Tapuae Roa and their vision of 'Together, a thriving region for all'.

The Venture Taranaki Team
Driven by a common goal of ‘building resilient Taranaki communities, enterprises, and economies’, the team at Venture Taranaki is incredibly passionate about the role they play in shaping the future of the region. The organisation has shared many successes and accolades over the years, receiving both national and global acknowledgement for the services they provide to the region.

Selection Criteria

Specifically, NPDC is keen to hear from individuals who have industry experience in any of the key strategic focus areas: energy, food, Maori economy, or visitor sectors. Additionally, NPDC is interested in hearing from individuals who have strong networks or connections to central government.

The successfully appointed trustees will be highly respected individuals who have proven governance experience, are innovative, have an entrepreneurial spirit and are comfortable supporting open debate, challenging the status quo and stretching the CE and management team to achieve NPDC’s strategic objectives.

A connection back to Taranaki is important, however, diversity, expertise and a passion for the future prosperity of Taranaki are equally as important, meaning we are open to receiving interest from experienced or well-connected individuals who may be located outside of the region.

NPDC is partnering with Trace Consulting to recruit for these positions. To request a copy of the position description and information pack, or to arrange a call, email Tracey Soffe at [email protected].
