About our team | Mō te tīma:
MSD – services for the future programme is about MSD’s future role and how we can make a bigger and better difference for New Zealanders. It will help us achieve the shifts we want to make to achieve our strategic goal, Te Pae Tawhiti.
Services for the future will position us to deliver the changes to the welfare system the Government requires.
Achieving our vision will be a multi-year journey for MSD.
This is a once in a generation change to the way MSD delivers services to New Zealanders and our opportunity to set up MSD for the next 30 years. The programme is a major undertaking, delivering significant benefits to over a million New Zealanders who access MSD support and services. This is an unrivalled opportunity to be involved in MSD’s journey.
In this role, you’ll support the Transformation Programme to build and bed‑in a joined‑up Induction and Capability approach – linking MyHR, SFIA‑aligned role profiles, learning pathways and talent pools, to grow and keep the specialist skills we need.
About the role | Mō te tūnga:
You will work with colleagues and business teams to design and deliver learning solutions that meet clear organisational goals. This includes identifying critical capabilities for identified roles, curating learning pathways (using existing online modules) designing and building online modules, creating face to face workshops, and train the trainer materials.

This role focuses on Learning and Development, contributing to the growth of critical talent such as Business Analysts, Service Designers, System Architects, Customer Experience Leads, Project Managers, and other transformational roles. You will support the setup of induction and career development pathways that align with our transformation programme.
