Are you currently a Financial or Management Accountant looking for a new direction or adding to your growing experience and view a move into Strategic Finance as the next step in your career?
If this sounds like you, a new opportunity has opened within the Strategic Finance team as a Strategic Financial Analyst within the Finance branch of the Department of Internal Affairs.
Working at Te Tari Taiwhenua (Department of Internal Affairs), you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of New Zealanders by.
- Developing the Department's annual and long-term financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting approach, policies, and processes
- Support the development and implementation of the Financial Strategy for the Department
- Ensure the preparation of robust and sustainable long range consolidated capital plans and recommend the level of funding necessary to enable the Department to meet its short
- and long-term strategic objectives
- Develop the annual budget approach, ensuring that it will deliver an affordable, sustainable budget which is approved and available from the start of each financial year

Finance sits within He Pou Aronui, (Organisational Capability and Services), a branch dedicated to supporting the rest of the Department to succeed by providing corporate services that help business groups and people within DIA to make the best contribution to New Zealand
Reporting to the Manager Strategic Finance and Analysis, you will be looking for a new challenge in your career to build upon the experience and technical knowledge you have attained in previous financial and management accounting roles.
This role is pivotal in enabling the Strategic Finance team to provide leadership, support and assistance on financial planning, budgeting, capital planning and forecasting. You will be supporting senior Finance leaders in providing insightful analysis, reporting and advice to executives on strategic finance issues.
After a couple of years without a Strategic Finance function, the DIA are now investing in a strategic finance team to deliver high quality, medium to long term strategic financial plans that align with DIA objectives, priorities, four year and strategic plans, to maximise the use of resources while remaining financially robust and sustainable.
You and the Strategic Finance team will also be responsible for monitoring and reporting on performance against plans, together with providing robust commercial analysis advice to inform decision making.
Maybe you are a little over monthly reporting and budget cycles and feel it is time to stand on the 'other side' and be involved in developing the budget and forecasting approach, annual and long-term financial planning and policies and processes. If so, this is the role for you.
Experience/Knowledge/Skills
- Proven experience in a strategic finance or financial analyst role
- Experience of computerised accounting systems and extensive use of modelling tools (e.g., Excel)

- Strong analytical skills
- Proven ability to influence to support effective financial management and decision making
- The ability to communicate with, and gain the trust and respect of, management at all levels within a large organisation
- The ability to operate and perform in a dynamic, high performance and evolving environment
