Are you an experienced research writer who wants to use your skills to dig into stories that matter?

Consumer NZ needs a research writer to join its Wellington-based team. Your work will be published on consumer.org.nz and in Consumer magazine.

We are looking for a person with strong research skills who is keen to work on a range of stories – from exposing misleading claims to naming and shaming companies that don’t play by the rules.
