**Mō mātou | About us**

**Inland Revenue Policy Unit**

The Policy unit of IR is a specialised team of policy advisors, primarily based in Wellington, who are responsible for developing, managing, and communicating tax and social policy. This includes providing tax and social policy advice to Ministers. The team also ensures that the tax and social policy systems continue to be fit for purpose. By broadly influencing the social and economic agenda the team contributes to improve the overall outcomes across government.

**Economics and Stewardship, Forecasting and Analysis**

We are seeking two L2 Policy Advisors for our Economics and Stewardship team and our Forecasting and Analysis team, both of which sit within Policy. These teams work closely together.

The Economics and Stewardship team uses economic frameworks and analysis to provide advice on tax and social policies with significant economic impact. The team also takes a stewardship perspective to the tax system - looking into the future to ensure that our tax system stays fit for purpose.

The Forecasting and Analysis team undertakes quantitative analysis to support tax and social policy work. The team regularly produces tax and social policy forecasts as part of the Government’s Budget process, and reports tax results monthly to Ministers. The team is also primarily responsible for data analysis in support of Policy and for quantifying the fiscal impacts of proposed policy changes.

At Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue we’re passionate about Aotearoa New Zealand being a great place to live and work. We’re making it simpler for everyone to pay tax that pays for things like health care, education and protecting the environment.

We are committed to keeping to the Treaty of Waitangi's guiding principles in our work for and with Māori customers and our employees, their whānau, hapū and iwi.

IR is committed to building an inclusive workplace free from inequalities, where all our people are valued, respected and feel supported to reach their full potential _.**Mō te tūnga | About the role**

As a L2 you will have a minimum of 4 years’ experience in a relevant role. Our role descriptions are broad based and are applicable to most staff in Policy.

**Mōu | About you**
To be successful in this role you will bring:

- Experience in undertaking research and providing quantitative information and insights in support of policy projects.
- Ability to translate data and/or economics frameworks into clear policy insights.
- Flexibility, ability to adapt very quickly to changes in priorities and timeframes.
- A self-starter with a proactive approach to identifying problems.
- Comfortable working with a broad range of stakeholders.

- Experience in programming, ideally with SQL and SAS programming.
