About us
The Department of Treasury and Finance provides economic, financial and resource management advice to help the Victorian Government deliver its policies. We strive for excellence in financial and economic management to improve the lives of all Victorians.
Economic Division leads the development of advice to the Victorian Government on key economic priorities including material living standards, jobs, productivity, economic equity, and reducing the emissions intensity of the Victorian economy.
The Division supports our Ministers in their responsibilities including the Government's overall economic strategy (and implementing its social and economic agenda in line with this), tax, regulation, housing, forecasting, and intergovernmental financial relations.
We collaborate with other divisions and government agencies to pursue DTF's objectives.
The Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal (Tribunal) is responsible for independently setting and advising on remuneration for Members of Parliament (MPs), local councillors and executives in the Victorian public sector.
The Tribunal was established under the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal and Improving Parliamentary Standards Act 2019 and consists of up to three part-time Members led by a Chair. The Minister responsible for the Tribunal is the Minister for Finance, but the Tribunal is not subject to the direction of any person, including the Minister.
About the role
This position is one of two Manager positions in the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal Secretariat. The two positions are interchangeable to some degree in that responsibility for specific tasks and functions may transfer between the two positions from time to time, or they may share responsibility for certain products and outcomes. Both Manager positions report to the Director, Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal.
The Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal Secretariat supports the Chair and Members of the Tribunal as well as the Compliance Officers to deliver their responsibilities. The Secretariat, led by the Director, comprises a small, high-calibre team that undertakes rigorous and authoritative analysis and provides advice to the Tribunal on matters relating to remuneration of MPs, local government councillors and public sector executives.
As a Manager in the Secretariat, you will be responsible for managing delivery of a variety of products by a small team of policy officers to foster best-practice remuneration outcomes for senior officials. The Secretariat provides a positive, supportive culture and a work environment that enables high performance.
As a Manager in DTF's Economic Group, you will be expected to contribute to broader organisational capability and culture.
