About The Australian Treasury

Treasury is the Australian Government’s pre-eminent economic adviser. Treasury’s purpose is to support and implement informed decisions on policies for the good of the Australian people, consistent with achieving strong, sustainable economic growth and fiscal settings.

As the Australian Treasury’s office in Beijing, our responsibilities include monitoring and analysing developments in the Chinese economy and effectively communicating them to colleagues in Australia.

To monitor economic and financial market conditions in China, we engage with banks, industry, market analysts and academics as well as key Chinese government agencies and regulators where practical. We also work closely with other government agencies represented in the Australian Embassy, like the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

Treasury’s Beijing office comprises two staff posted from Australia and three locally engaged staff.

About the position

The Economist position is a key part of the Treasury team. The position will identify, interpret and communicate emerging issues in the Chinese economy and foster and maintain relationships with relevant local contacts.

A key part of the role is maintaining this knowledge under limited supervision by building a network of contacts, monitoring the economic and financial news and by analysing data and reports released by the National Bureau of Statistics and other institutions.

Some travel within China may be required.

The key responsibilities of the position include, but are not limited to:

· Identify and interpret developments in the Chinese economy and financial markets and communicate findings to a broad, non-technical audience via regular reports. This will include short policy briefs with quick turnarounds as well as longer term, in-depth research.

· Contribute to the strategic planning for Treasury office’s research and reporting program.

· Assist with analysis and briefing to support visiting delegations, including the Treasurer and senior Treasury officials.

· Work in a collegiate and collaborative manner to support local and Australian colleagues to further their understanding of macroeconomic conditions and relevant policy developments.

Qualifications/Experience

· A demonstrated understanding and experience in economics, financial markets and public policy. This includes a high-level understanding of China’s political and economic environment and a capacity to analyse China through an economic framework.

- Tertiary qualifications are essential, with economics/finance/public policy desirable.

- Proficiency with databases and data manipulation is essential. Experience with statistical analysis is desirable.

· Fluency in written and spoken English and Mandarin.

· A current network of contacts with knowledge of China’s economy and financial markets.

· A proven ability to engage with familiar and unfamiliar topics in the Chinese economy, develop a high-level understanding, identify key issues and succinctly communicate any findings.

· Strong written and spoken communication skills to clearly and persuasively engage with colleagues and contacts and to concisely detail emerging issues in the Chinese economy.

· A demonstrated ability to initiate and foster productive working relationships with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders.

· The ability to adapt to changing circumstances, including a willingness to propose ways forward when required; and

· The capacity to work independently and as part of a team, manage your own work program, balance competing priorities and deliver high quality written work relatively quickly.

What the Australian Embassy offers

· Attractive remuneration package that includes performance bonuses, additional insurance coverage, 14 public holidays and generous leave provisions.

· Safe and secure workplace where safety of employees is a high priority, and a diverse and inclusive workplace is actively promoted.
