**Job description**:
**Fiscal Group**

Fiscal Group works on a wide-ranging set of issues at the heart of the Treasury’s objectives and of fiscal events such as Budgets. We are responsible for ensuring the sustainability of the government’s finances, overseeing its macroeconomic policy framework, and stable and efficient financing of government liabilities. Work includes advising the Chancellor on the appropriate levels of borrowing and debt (as well as broader commitments like guarantees & insurance), providing analysis of the government’s finances, overseeing financing raised for the government by the Debt Management Office and National Savings & Investments. We work with teams across the Treasury to support decisions on the full range of policy. We also have a particularly wide and deep range of relationships beyond the Treasury including the Office for Budget Responsibility, Bank of England, and the Office for National Statistics.

Delivering these objectives requires a range of skills and backgrounds, and we are proud of our diversity.

**Macroeconomic Policy Team**

Our team, of 15 staff, is responsible for developing HM Treasury’s thinking and advice for the Chancellor on macroeconomic policy This includes short-term fiscal policy and monetary policy strategy. The team consists of four branches:

- Strategy and Framework - We provide advice, analysis and briefing on the macroeconomic strategy. We also work with office of the Chief Economic Advisor to coordinate the weekly macroeconomic strategy meetings, arranging presenters and providing readouts.
- Monetary Policy - We advise on the monetary policy framework and support Chief Economist in her role as the Treasury representative at the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meetings. The branch produces monetary policy analysis ahead of MPC meetings, speeches and select committee hearings. We also own the appointment process for external members to the MPC.
- Projects - We solve a variety of pressing macroeconomic questions in short-term projects commissioned by seniors within HMT that typically span over a month or two. These projects can be either analytical or strategic.
- Research - We look more deeply into analytical issues on fiscal and monetary policy including the fiscal stance and automatic stabilisers. We develop a research agenda across the team and build links with other teams, academics and external organisations on policy issues.
