AddressThe RBA participates in international efforts to address the challenges facing the global economy and financial system. It does so through its membership of global and regional forums and its bilateral relationships with other central banks. The provision of technical assistance is also an important element of the RBA's relations with other central banks, particularly those in the Asia Pacific region.
As a Senior Manager, in International Department you will be responsible for overseeing the RBA's engagement with the South Pacific and our broader technical assistance program. As part of International Department's senior leadership team, you will also contribute to the broader strategic direction and leadership of the Department. International Departments' other responsibilities include: providing regular advice on developments in international financial markets to the Executive and the Reserve Bank Board; managing the Bank's foreign exchange operations and the investment of its international reserve holdings of gold and foreign exchange; and coordinating the Bank's climate and sustainability related regulatory and analytical activities.
Given the nature of the work, you will ideally have:
- a deep understanding of the economic and financial issues facing the South Pacific, especially correspondent and retail banking issues.
- working knowledge of global financial architecture and international relations.
- considerable experience in the provision of advice, as well as the ability to influence others.
- experience leading, developing, and motivating a unit and/or teams, and coaching managers, as well as ownership of the execution of functional strategy.
- excellent interpersonal skills including the ability to build effective working relationships with a diverse and cross-cultural set of stakeholders externally and internally.
- relevant tertiary qualifications in economics, finance, or international relations, or equivalent experience.
Travel is required, as is occasionally working irregular hours, owing to the international aspect of this role. The successful applicant will also need to apply for and maintain a NV1 security clearance.
