Amonuku Associate programme

Ehara taku toa i te takitahi, he toa takitini
Success is not individual – but collective

Amonuku, our associate programme provides our owners with the opportunity to gain experience in the governance and management of Wakatū.

As Wakatū grows and our organisation becomes more complex, it is vital that future directors and managers are equipped with the commercial and cultural skills and experience required to govern and manage our taonga.

We are looking for Associate Directors with business acumen and at least ten years sound commercial or professional experience in the areas that are relevant to Wakatū (for example, Whenua, Kono, AuOra and Manaaki).

We are also looking for people who are committed to the positive development of the whānau of Wakatū, in accordance with our values and tikanga.

Applicants must be owners (shareholders, descendants of shareholders, or a member of a whānau trust holding Wakatū shares).

Applicants complete an on-line form, including a 500-word statement outlining their vision for Wakatū Incorporation and setting out why they want to be an Associate Director.

We support diversity at all levels of our organisation. Applicants with diverse backgrounds, experiences, ability and perspectives are encouraged to apply.

For more information and any other queries relating to Amonuku, please email Colleen Carew or phone 03 546 8648.

Amonuku applications are now closed.
