This cuts across every aspect of the Treasury's work and provides an opportunity to work with senior officials and Ministers to influence the direction of the department. Taking ownership for scoping, planning, driving and evaluating discrete projects, often commissioned by senior stakeholders. This will involve rapidly developing knowledge of new issues to support robust and evidence-based solutions and advice. Providing a secretariat function for senior meetings, including our monthly Directors' Forum.
