Working at HM Treasury puts you at the heart of government, making a difference to the UK economy and ultimately to people's lives right across the UK.
Jobs at the Treasury are fast-paced, fun and can offer unparalleled perspective - not least the opportunity to advise Ministers on the decisions which directly determine the UK's prosperity. Deep in our DNA is a commitment to empowering our people: maximising individual and collective impact, with interesting work no matter your role or seniority.
Day-to-day you could be supporting Ministers to decide the right level of a specific tax or line of government spending; helping maintain the stability of financial markets; analysing the long-term trends impacting the future of the economy; or enabling this work as part of our vital corporate functions.
We are a high-performing department and proud to have outstanding staff from a wide range of backgrounds. We are also a friendly, inclusive and sociable workplace that prides itself on fostering great team spirit. Our two largest offices are 1 Horse Guards Road in London, opposite St James' Park, and the Darlington Economic Campus, which also contains eight other departments. We work seamlessly across all our sites, including Norwich, Birmingham and Leeds, as one Treasury.
We are both a 1,000-year-old institution and dynamic, forward-looking economics and finance ministry, with a strong direction set by our organisational strategy, the Future Treasury Vision. The 21st century offers huge opportunities and poses new challenges for the UK. Working at the Treasury is your chance to help the country chart the right course.
This is a stretching and exciting Higher Executive Officer (HEO) role working at the heart of government, driving forward ministerial priorities and engaging with high-profile issues. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate the ability to work autonomously across a range of important and varied policy areas.
The role offers a strategic overview of HMT business and unparalleled experience of working closely with Ministers, special advisers, and other senior decision makers across government. You will be responsible for supporting and enabling policy teams to achieve the minister's objectives and negotiate on behalf of the department and the minister. You will enjoy a great deal of autonomy and benefit from opportunities to apply your judgment. You will contribute to an office ethos which focuses on well-being and development, at both a personal and team level.
We are looking for a great teammate, comfortable with operating collaboratively. Diversity is very important to us, and we welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
