Senior Distributional Analyst

1 week ago

Darlington, United Kingdom HM TREASURY-1 Full time

Are you looking for a great opportunity to work in a high-profile area, with analytical challenges? If so, we'd love to hear from you

About the team

The Labour Markets and Distributional Analysis team is a friendly team of around 30 outstanding analysts and policy makers. We analyse how tax, welfare and public service spending decisions will impact households’ living standards and advise Ministers accordingly. This means we are involved in policy discussions in areas including social care, childcare, Universal Credit, personal tax, pensions, net zero transition, and many more

We also play a key role in fiscal events (such as Spending Review and Budgets) where we inform Ministers on the overall impacts of a suite of policy decisions, and our analysis is published in HM Treasury’s high-profile distributional analysis reports.

Our work provides an attractive blend of high-profile cross-cutting policy thinking and detailed analytical challenge and would perfectly suit an analyst looking to stretch their analytical capability whilst working close to the centre of government.

About the role

Joining us as Senior Distributional Analyst will see you leading on ad-hoc projects within the Distributional Analysis team, which has previously involved work on the cost of living crisis and net zero. You will also have ownership of ad-hoc projects within the Distributional Analysis team, which has previously involved work on the cost of living crisis, net zero, and real incomes analysis.

Key accountabilities

  1. Identifying and performing strategic model development to build on existing modelling capability, increasing efficiency and ensuring the team’s continued capability to answer questions for policy making
  2. Presenting analysis effectively, briefing collaborators such as senior officials and Ministers
  3. Building positive relationships across HM Treasury and beyond, to ensure relevance and timeliness of analysis, to improve quality and impact
  4. Exploring opportunities to improve modelling capability with new techniques, platforms and data sources, and produce ad-hoc new modelling when required for emerging policy questions
  5. Working flexibly within a multi-disciplinary team of analysts to support HM Treasury to deliver at fiscal events, often to timelines. This will include some matrix management of other DA analysts as needed according to project requirements.

About you

Our ideal candidate will hold a degree level qualification with significant analytical content, such as economics, statistics, mathematics, physics, or equivalent professional experience. You will also have a working knowledge of SAS, R or similar analytical programming software. You’ll have experience of producing quantitative analysis that influences decision making, as well as the ability to identify areas for improvement and increased efficiency and delivering change. Lastly, you’ll be skilled at building and maintaining a strong network of contacts and will be able to persuasively communicate complex ideas to colleagues.

About us

HM Treasury is proud of a diverse and inclusive work environment, committed to fairness and the promotion of equality of opportunity for all. We know that having a range of experiences, ways of working and thinking makes us a stronger organisation, better at developing policy that is reflective of the communities we serve. We embrace different views and experiences and value the fresh perspective that people from a variety of circumstances bring to the work we do. We welcome applications from candidates who have not previously worked for the Civil Service, mid- and late-career changers with transferrable skills, people from all backgrounds and circumstances.

Some of the Benefits our people love 

  • 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 days after 5 years), plus 8 public holidays and the King’s birthday (unless you have a legacy arrangement as an existing Civil Servant). Additionally, we operate flexitime systems, allowing you to take up to an additional 2 days off each month.
  • Flexible working patterns (part-time, job-share, compressed hours). 
  • Generous parental leave and adoption leave packages. 
  • A Civil Service Pension which provides an attractive pension, benefits for dependants and average employer contributions of 27%
  • Access to a cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme and season ticket advances.
  • A Rental Deposit Advance Scheme to help meet the total costs of deposits for privately rented homes.
  • Access to HM Treasury’s benefits portal allowing you access to a range of discount codes for online shopping.
  • A range of active staff networks, based around interests (e.g. analysts, music society, sports and social club) and diversity
  • Access to a range of allowances if eligibility applies. These include profession related allowances.
