A government and professional services market with its own conventions. Our Wellington consultants work across both public agencies and the private sector that serves them.

Wellington is a government and professional services market with its own conventions. Prima's consultants work across both public agencies and the private sector that serves them, covering Wellington, the Hutt Valley, Porirua, Palmerston North and the lower North Island, in person, virtually, or a mix of both.
Moving out of a government agency is not the same as moving between private employers. Different conventions apply to how roles are described, how selection works and how experience is best translated for a commercial audience
Prima's consultants work with that directly, whether someone is moving between agencies, into the private sector, into consulting, or out of the workforce altogether. Coaches are matched by seniority and background, and support continues until the person achieves a successful career outcome.
Wellington's senior market is small and well connected, which makes discretion and positioning count for more than a wide search. Prima works one-to-one with senior leaders to clarify direction, test it honestly and decide carefully who to approach and when and includes board, advisory and consulting paths.
Leaders here manage through changes of government, shifting mandates and structural reform, usually while continuing to deliver. Prima Perform coaches them through competing priorities, difficult decisions, stakeholder complexity and higher expectations.
Engagements are aligned with the sponsor before they start and reviewed against those objectives at the end. Practical, evidence-based, and built for real leadership challenges.
Prima combines consultants who understand the Wellington market with the capability of a trans-Tasman practice. This support includes unlimited psychological support for employees and their families, coaches matched to the individual, Prima's AI Career Suite and EXCELerator “Push” Technology behind the coaching, and real-time reporting for the organisations running the change.
