Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Trust Chief Executive Officer Needed

Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Trust

 

Chief Executive Officer/Pou-whakahaere Matua

 

The people of Rangitāne are descendants of Whātonga, captain of the Kurahaupō canoe. The iwi takes their name from the grandson of Whatonga, Rangitāne. There are four Rangitāne rohe today, Tamaki nui-ā-Rua, Manawatū, and Wairarapa in the North Island, and Wairau in the South Island.

The Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Trust (the “Trust”) is the post settlement governance entity, or PSGE, for Rangitāne o Wairarapa and Rangitāne o Tamaki nui-ā-Rua.

The Trust was ratified by the iwi in 2013 and received the settlement assets directly from the Crown in 2016. The Trust is responsible for the overall management of the settlement assets and efficiently and effectively carrying out its functions post-settlement. As is usual with post settlement governance entities, the governance structure does include a commercial arm, Tū Mai Rā Investments LP, which is 100% controlled and owned by the PSGE. The Trust together with Tū Mai Rā Investments LP forms the Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Group (the “Group”)

Our vision is “Rangitāne ki runga, Rangitāne ki roto, Rangitāne ki waho, Rangitāne ki raro” and our mission is to “grow leaders, grow assets and connect whānau”.
