About the Role

Join the Investment Appraisal Team within the Economics and Analysis Branch and help shape some of the NSW Government's most significant investment decisions. The team delivers high-quality business cases, cost-benefit analyses and financial appraisals that help government direct funding to initiatives that create the greatest value for the people of NSW.

As the Analyst, Investment Appraisal, you will work with complex data, research and economic models to assess the economic, social, environmental and cultural impacts of policies, programs and projects. You'll translate technical analysis into clear,



practical advice that informs decision-making at the highest levels of government and contributes to better outcomes for communities across NSW.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with robust analytical capability, curiosity and a genuine interest in applying economics and quantitative analysis to real-world public policy challenges. While direct cost-benefit analysis and/or business case experience is valuable, we're equally interested in people who have the foundations, aptitude and enthusiasm to learn and grow in this specialist field.
