About the role
The New Zealand Embassy in Bangkok manages New Zealand’s relationship with Thailand, as well as cross-accreditations to Cambodia and Lao PDR. We represent the New Zealand Government to the highest standards of professional excellence in diplomacy, trade and economic engagement, international development and consular services.

This role will be an exciting – and rewarding – opportunity to join a dynamic team working to deliver on one of the Embassy’s key priorities for 2022.
