6 days ago
About us
The Department of Treasury and Finance provides economic, financial and resource management advice to help the Victorian Government deliver its policies. We strive for excellence in financial and economic management to improve the lives of all Victorians.
Macroeconomic Strategy
The Macroeconomic Strategy team provides authoritative advice and forecasts on Victoria's economic conditions and outlook - most prominently as part of the annual state budget and budget update publications. We monitor economic and financial market developments and advise on the implications of these for the economic outlook and risks. We also advise on strategic policy issues including inflation and cost-of-living pressures, and Victoria's longer-term population, employment and productivity growth.
About the role
This is an ongoing opportunity where you will work as a Manager in the Macroeconomic Strategy team. You will work as part of a high-performing and highly collaborative team of economists to provide robust economic forecasts and insightful economic commentary, including for the Victorian budget, that support evidence-based decision-making by government.
Coming onboard at a time of new economic challenges and uncertainties, you will deliver insights and advice to government and senior management on current economic conditions, the outlook and risks, to improve the living standards of all Victorians.
**As a member of the Macroeconomic Strategy team, you will**:
- Work independently and as a leader in the team to produce robust advice on complex issues including current and future macroeconomic conditions;
- Manage the preparation of high-quality advice on the economy and the latest economic data to key stakeholders, often under tight deadlines;
- Manage and lead quantitative and qualitative research projects to inform advice on current and future economic conditions;
- Present persuasive economic arguments to senior executives, including on the economic outlook;
- Develop, enhance and leverage relationships with internal and external stakeholders;
- Build the capability of team members by directly managing one or more Economists/Senior Economists, and proactively looking for opportunities for continuous improvement.
About you
To be considered for the role, you must be able to demonstrate:
- Superior analytical skills and a record of achievement in macroeconomic analysis and forecasting;
- Highly developed quantitative skills, including experience using statistical packages such as EViews or R to analyse and forecast economic data;
- Excellent oral and written communication skills and a demonstrated capability to present persuasive economic arguments to senior executives;
- A very high attention to detail and a strong focus on delivering results for stakeholders, often under competing deadlines;
- A demonstrated capability to manage outputs by working collaboratively with team members and a range of stakeholders;
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to manage and coach staff, while also fostering a constructive team culture.
Experience and qualifications
- Previous experience providing macroeconomic analysis and forecasts is highly desirable, ideally gained in a government agency, central bank, financial services firm or consulting.
- An appropriate tertiary qualification in economics is required, preferably at post-graduate level.
