Information about becoming a Graduate Analyst and how to apply
The Treasury offers a number of Graduate Analyst positions each year to advanced students in their final year of undergraduate, honours and postgraduate study at New Zealand universities.
Who are we looking for?
We look for Graduate Analysts who flourish in an environment of open discussions, lively debate, and want to operate in a challenging environment. We want to develop our Graduate Analysts to be future leaders, so we look for graduates who can combine their economic, financial and commercial skills, can communicate their ideas and help advance the Treasury's thinking. We want graduates who will take risks and push boundaries while also being accountable for their performance.
Building effective working relationships is important at the Treasury. This means we're looking for graduates who enjoy sharing ideas and discussing issues with others, and are able to liaise and negotiate with people at a senior level, both within and outside the Treasury.
In addition, we look for graduates with excellent academic qualifications in economics, accountancy, finance and business management. Graduates with high levels of achievement in other disciplines also enjoy successful careers in the Treasury.
What will you be doing?
From day one you will be involved in significant issues. Our Graduate Analysts help monitor the performance of government agencies and analyse the economic, financial and regulatory interaction between New Zealand and the rest of the world. You will be actively involved in providing advice to the Minister of Finance. Your advice will identify and evaluate policy options and recommend specific courses of action.
We do our best to place you in your team of choice within the Treasury, based on your particular interests and expertise and depending on our resourcing requirements.
You can expect to move into an Analyst role after 18 months.
Where can you work?
You will be involved in one or more of Treasury's Outcomes.
