As an Investment Process Coordinator, you'll be part of our Investment Process team and play a pivotal role in coordinating the Health Research Council's application assessment and funding processes, ensuring procedural integrity, equity, and collaboration at every step.
You'll coordinate the end-to-end delivery of funding rounds, accurately manage funding applications, engage with researchers and health sector stakeholders, and organise key assessment meetings. You'll also contribute to continuous process improvement and help maintain strong relationships across New Zealand's health research system.
This role is ideal for someone with a health sector background who enjoys coordinating complex processes, quickly learns new systems and frameworks, and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where attention to detail and organisation are essential.
What we’re looking for:
- A relevant tertiary qualification in public health, health sciences, nursing, allied health or a related discipline, or equivalent experience in the health, or health research sector.
- Experience in administration, coordination, programme coordination or project coordination, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and competing deadlines.
- Excellent planning, organisational and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate complex processes from start to finish.
- Proven ability to quickly understand new information, learn complex processes and confidently apply established policies, guidelines and frameworks, strong attention to detail, sound judgement and problem-solving skills, with a proactive and adaptable approach.
- Proven ability to build effective relationships and communicate confidently with researchers, clinicians, health professionals, and other stakeholders.
- A collaborative team player who contributes to continuous process improvement.
- A demonstrated commitment to cultural safety, equity, and inclusive ways of working.
- Experience in health research, research funding, or the public sector is advantageous but not essential.
