Details: Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work on a wide breadth of issues in the ACT Government? Do you want to help develop and manage the Territory’s budget, provide strategic policy and/or financial advice to senior executives and Government, and work on a range of financial reporting issues?
The Finance and Budget Group in ACT Treasury, within the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate (CMTEDD), is looking for Analysts to join the team.
These positions provide a great opportunity to gain a sophisticated understanding of the Machinery of Government and the Budget process, and to contribute to delivering the Government’s key policy and financial priorities – including planning and oversight of investments in infrastructure and government services in the ACT.
The successful applicants will join a dedicated team undertaking a variety of work, which may include: preparing budget papers; reviewing business cases and writing briefing papers; participating in discussions and negotiations with agencies on policy and financial issues; preparing financial instruments; and reporting on agency and whole-of-government financial performance and budget pressures.
We need people who are critical thinkers, strong communicators and team players; who are skilled at using data, research and analysis to inform advice on complex policy and/or financial issues; and who are capable of working on diverse and impactful issues in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, where effective prioritisation, multitasking and sound judgement are essential.
If this role sounds like a challenge you are interested in, we want to hear from you.
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.
