Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Investments

Director/Ringatohu

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a significant impact on the development and growth of Rangitāne iwi while contributing to the strategic direction of a forward-thinking organisation? If so, the Director position at Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Trust’s commercial arm, Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Investments (RTMRI), is an opportunity that should not be overlooked.

The commercial arm is part of the post settlement governance structure for Rangitāne o Wairarapa and Rangitāne o Tamaki nui-a-Rua. It is a limited liability company that is the General Partner of a limited partnership. It is also a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust.

As an Independent Director, you will be contributing to the governance, strategic planning, and operational direction of RTMRI and its subsidiaries. RTMRI is particularly interested in a candidate that has a commercial law background along with experience in investment portfolio oversight. This leadership role requires a high level of engagement, involvement, and contribution to the commercial activities that drive the success of the organisation.

This is not a typical boardroom role that involves merely attending meetings once a month. Instead, you will take a hands-on approach to ensure the success of RTMRI. You will be expected to be seen and known by the people of Rangitāne. Ideally you’ll be available from time to time to travel throughout the rohe and beyond at short notice to participate in hui, events, and other occasions as directed. This level of direct involvement will enable you to get to know the communities you will be serving as well as develop, evolve and leverage relationships and networks to support and shape the growth of Rangitāne.

The opportunity to contribute to the implementation of RTMRI’s four Strategic Pou, which include Whakatipu Rawa (Investment), Wāhi Whare, Wāhi Taonga (Property), Te Taiao (Our Natural World), and Kai Uara Nui (High Value Nutrition), presents an exciting and meaningful challenge. As a Director, you will be instrumental in contributing to the future of the iwi’s economic and cultural development, ensuring prosperity and sustainability for generations to come. In a world driven by technology, your familiarity and competency with the digital world will enable RTMRI to grasp cutting-edge solutions and stay abreast in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Embracing te reo me ōna tikanga is not just an expectation; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions and practices that make up the rich heritage of Rangitāne. Your innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and growth mindset will be a driving force behind transforming RTMRI’s endeavours into ground-breaking ventures that elevate Rangitāne to new heights of prosperity.

The ideal candidate will bring a diverse perspective to the board, enriching the decisixon-making process with fresh ideas and innovative thinking. You will be an essential part of achieving RTMRI’s objectives and purpose, contributing to the betterment of Rangitāne. This directorship is not just a position; it is an invitation to be a part of something extraordinary—a hikoi of empowerment, progress, and shared success. If you are passionate about making a positive impact and are ready to immerse yourself in the commercial endeavours of RTMRI, we encourage you to apply for the director position.

If you see yourself in this role, working hand in hand with Rangitāne and bringing your expertise and passion to make a real difference in the lives of others, then seize this opportunity. Join us in this journey of growth, cultural appreciation, and positive impact. Become a vital part of RTMRI’s legacy of impact, and together, let’s create a future that is not only fascinating but also incredibly fulfilling.
