**OPPORTUNITIES**

**Government Business Enterprise (GBE) Oversight**
As an Assistant Director in one of our GBE teams, you would be responsible for leading a small team to represent the Minister for Finance’s interests as shareholder minister in delivering high quality commercially driven outcomes consistent with the Government’s policy objectives. Oversight roles include supporting the delivery of major infrastructure works such as Snowy Hydro 2.0 or the Western Sydney International Airport, regulatory compliance of government entities such as through NBN Co or Australia Post, supporting Australia’s national security objectives by oversighting the entities’ delivery of major Defence capability projects and establishing a new joint entity to deliver the Marinus Link project.

**Investment Management**

This diverse opportunity could see you working alongside the Future Fund Management Agency to support implementation of its investments framework, working with investment vehicles such as the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility, Clean Energy Finance Corporation or National Reconstruction Fund Corporation, or supporting other Commonwealth agencies undertake major strategic transactions.

**Commercial Policy Development and Implementation**
CID manages the Commonwealth Investment Framework and supports Commonwealth agencies in implementing the Framework to meet the Government’s investment and policy objectives. These investment and policy objectives could be implemented through existing GBE’s, investment vehicles or through working with agencies to support new transactions in various commercial sectors.

For example, there are opportunities to work closely to develop and implement major Government Policy priorities such as the AUKUS trilateral partnership and the acquisition of conventionally-armed nuclear-powered submarines, Net Zero and renewable energy policy, and supporting the development and implementation of scoping studies and reviews, such as the Inland Rail Review, by providing quality advice to Commonwealth agencies and to Government.

**OUR IDEAL CANDIDATES**
- Collaboration, mutual respect and productive working relationships.
- Courteous, respectful and effective communication.
- Innovation, creativity, and appropriate levels of risk-taking.
- Demonstrate a commitment to excellence, professional development, and a strategic approach to achieving results.
- Personal drive and integrity.

An understanding of the Commonwealth policies and Budget decision making processes is desirable, but not essential.

Finance actively supports flexible and hybrid working arrangements, with remote working arrangements to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Part-time staff are encouraged to apply.
