Te Wāhi |Where:  Auckland or Wellington
Te Pūtake | Why we’re hiring: We’re stepping into our next chapter, aspiring toward 80% fibre uptake across the motu by 2030. With our new strategy providing the roadmap for what we’re working to achieve and how we’ll get there, opportunities are emerging as we seek to expand our capability and talent in new and different spaces. 

Te Whiwhinga Mahi | The Opportunity 

Chorus is seeking a Regulatory Analyst to join our General Counsel Office (GCO), where you'll play a pivotal role in influencing the regulatory settings that underpin 90% of our revenue. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of commercial strategy and regulatory frameworks in a dynamic, competitive environment.

Unlike traditional regulated firms, Chorus operates in a hybrid space - part monopoly, part competitive market - making our regulatory challenges more complex and rewarding. You’ll be part of a team that’s not just tweaking existing frameworks but rethinking how regulation can better support innovation, efficiency, and customer value.

You’ll contribute to strategic initiatives, including:

• Leading and supporting expenditure proposals.
• Engaging with the Commerce Commission and external stakeholders.
• Collaborating across business units to shape and communicate our investment story.
• Modelling revenue scenarios and drafting persuasive regulatory submissions.

Ō Wheako, ō Pūkenga | Your Experience 

• 2+ years’ experience in a regulatory, economic, or policy environment - ideally within utilities, infrastructure, or a regulatory agency.
• A strong grasp of regulatory frameworks, particularly those of the Commerce Commission or similar bodies.
• A tertiary qualification in economics, law, public policy, or a related field - or equivalent experience in regulated industries.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to influence stakeholders across diverse teams.
• Strong analytical skills, including experience with Excel and Word
  
  

You have a genuine interest in how regulation can drive better outcomes for both consumers and businesses. With a strong foundation in written and verbal communication, you’re able to simplify complex concepts and craft clear, regulator-friendly submissions. You’re also eager to learn and grow, and will thrive in a role that offers scope for development, supported by a knowledgeable and collaborative team.

Not sure that you meet all the requirements? If you still think you could be great for the role, we encourage you to apply!
