TVNZ Careers

Who we are Ko wai mātou

Our Māori name is Te Reo Tātaki, which translates to ‘the leading voice’.

We love all things video content… We love watching it, we love talking about it, and most of all we love continuing our proud history of making it and putting it out there for New Zealanders to enjoy.

We’re always looking for new ways to connect with viewers - through platforms like our youth focused alternative news voice Re:, and leading edge technology like our augmented reality studio graphics. Our willingness to innovate brings a real sense of energy, excitement, and fun to what we do.

Why we’re here Tā mātou tino kaupapa

We’re driven by a few simple words ... Inspiring the conversations of Aotearoa - Kia whakaihiihi i ngā kōrero o Aotearoa.

Every day we join over 2 million kiwis wherever and however they want to watch our content - whether we’re breaking news, broadening horizons, or simply putting smiles on faces.

It’s about sharing stories that make you feel something and get you talking, and it’s about the power of kōrero to bring people together.

What we stand for ō mātou mātāpono

Our Values support and enrich our purpose and we strive to live up to them every day:

Aotearoatanga New Zealandness

We’re proud of where we’ve come from and who we are. We take our role as a Kaitiaki (guardian) of our national identity seriously. We embrace Treaty partnership as part of what makes us unique and we’re passionate about unleashing the potential of our nation.

Mana Reo Giving Voice

We amplify different voices and perspectives, celebrate the rich diversity of our people and communities and share stories that bring people together. We encourage and support understanding, respect and a sense of belonging for all New Zealanders.

Kia Māia Being Brave

We are courageous and bold in what we say and do, prepared to take risks and make a stand for what’s important. We ask the hard questions and hold ourselves and others to account. We do what it takes to earn the trust of New Zealanders every day.
