Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the Role
The Budget Team leads the co-ordination and delivery of the government's annual Budget, supporting Budget strategy, design, ministerial decision-making and production. We also act as advisors to other Treasury teams on managing policy proposals with financial implications.
In this role you will lead the Treasury's data management and reporting requirements for the Government's annual budget process. The type of work you will typically do includes:

• Collating data from different sources to present to Ministers and Senior Officials on the state of the Budget package as a whole
• Working with other system teams to understand and communicate the impact of Budget decisions on fiscal indicators
• Managing relevant budget data and information
• Providing assurance of data quality and accuracy
• Managing the interface of the budget process with the Crown's Financial Information System database (CFISnet)
• Communicating with stakeholders (including other public service agencies)
• Mentoring and supporting others in the team, both those directly working on data analysis and those using data in their work.

Ō pūmanawa | About You
This important work takes a special kind of person with a passion for making a difference and getting things done. We are committed to employing people, with a wide range of academic, cultural and social backgrounds and experiences, who represent the New Zealand community we serve.
You will have previous data and reporting experience, preferably in the New Zealand public sector context, and be able to integrate analytics into impactful advice for decision-makers. The budget process is dynamic and can be fast paced at times; you will need to be flexible and be able to work under pressure to deliver quality advice.
Specific technical expertise you will bring include:

• Experience in data collection, analysis and presentation, and integrating analytics into impactful advice.
• Well-developed numerical literacy, critical thinking, data manipulation, logic, and analytical skills.

• Strong written and verbal skills with the ability to communicate issues and concepts clearly, succinctly and with influence, including the ability to translate analysis into outputs which are easily interpreted by a variety of technical and non-technical stakeholders.

An understanding of New Zealand's public finance system (and financial management tools) is desirable but not essential - these skills can be learned on the job.
