Ever fancy yourself as a bit of James Bond or an international man of mystery? Then New Zealand's spy agency may have a job for you.
The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), the country's foreign intelligence agency criticised for illegal spying on New Zealanders in recent years, is looking to hire a new deputy director of intelligence.
In an advertisement placed in The New Zealand Herald's Business section today, the agency is scouting for candidates with "significant experience" in foreign intelligence or a closely related field".
"Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to deliver world class intelligence that is indispensable to New Zealand government decision makers and responsive to their changing needs?" the advert asks.
A shake-up of the bureau was ordered in 2013 after it emerged that it had illegally spied on internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom and more than 80 New Zealanders.
The position is described as a "critical tier two role", based in Wellington.
The new deputy director of intelligence will be responsible for the leadership and on-going development of the foreign intelligence function within the GCSB.
Applications close in July.
