- Provide high quality costings and advice to policy areas and the senior executive to assist in the development of new policy options.

- Project manage, design, prototype and implement computer programs that navigate data warehouses and manipulate large administrative data sets with complex structures for use in reporting and analysis of child care payments and programs.
