Head of Social Security and Devolved Taxes
The Scottish Fiscal Commission is a small friendly organisation of 27 staff and four Commissioners. We produce the independent economic and fiscal forecasts that the Scottish Government uses to set its budget and we explain their implications for public funding in Scotland.
We have an exciting opportunity to become a permanent analytical member of our Senior Management Team. You will gain experience in a high-profile senior leadership role in an independent organisation. You will oversee our forecasts of social security spending and devolved tax revenue.
These are published in two reports each year that accompany the Scottish Government’s Budget and Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS). You can see our report from last year’s Budget here, and our report from the recent MTFS here.

There will be opportunities to be involved in analytic strategy across the whole organisation. You will work closely with our four Commissioners, facilitating their collective decision making and drawing on their expertise. You will also develop and manage a wide range of relationships with stakeholders.
