• Hybrid working arrangement – up to three days work from home per week
• Collaborate with a great team of professionals
• Supportive and experienced Assistant Director

This mid-sized federal government department plays a crucial role in delivering key functions. They are recognised for their positive workplace culture and flexible hybrid working arrangements.

The Opportunity

This is a good chance for a management accountant to gain entry into the federal government or for an existing APS employee to transition to another department and broaden their expertise. You’ll be working with a supportive Director and Assistant Director who will actively support your professional growth and development within the APS.

These are six-month non-ongoing contracts with the possibility of extension or permanency. Working within a small team in a mid-sized federal department, you will contribute to the internal budget team, gaining valuable experience and exposure across the organisation. High performers will be rewarded with opportunities for acting roles and career progression.

The Role

These positions sit within a small team, reporting to the Assistant Director.

Key responsibilities include:

• Maintain an accurate record of budget allocations for current and forward year
• Analysing financial data and providing financial advice to executives
• Assisting in the development, implementation, and maintenance of budget management systems
• Contributing to Senate Estimate Briefs and other reports and analysis for various internal and external requests
• Coordinating monthly forecasting and internal reporting processes within the department

The Ideal Person

You are a proactive and detail-oriented accountant with a strong understanding of budgeting and financial analysis. Excellent communication and writing skills are essential, as is the ability to interpret and apply financial policies effectively.

While prior federal government experience at the APS6 level is preferred, experienced management accountants from the private sector are also encouraged to apply. A keen eye for detail, strong numeracy skills, and the ability to work with budget management systems are key to success in this role.

Experience with TechnologyOne is desirable, but a willingness and ability to learn new financial systems is equally valued.

Applicant MUST be Australian Citizens to be considered for this opportunity.
