They translate at the interface of analytics and policy so that analyses are fit-for-purpose and provide long-term value. The team focus on analytical scoping, high quality communications, project and stakeholder management, governance and strategic advice. They work closely with the other teams in the unit to deliver analysis that informs earlier interventions such as cohort profiles, scenario analyses, outcome monitoring and evaluation, and cost benefit analyses; and work to support users of the unit's analytical tools across Victorian government to help ensure social investment assets used well and are built to reflect our clients' ongoing needs.

The manager will have their own project lead responsibilities and provide support and coaching to team members in their development. You will either already be or will need to quickly become an expert in the application of social investment approaches and will play a key role in partnering with and influencing stakeholders to drive its successful implementation.
