The Director of Analysis will direct an analytical team, composed of Senior Policy Advisors, Policy Advisors, Economists, and Policy Analysts within the Office of the Financial Stability Oversight Council at the Department of the Treasury, which is responsible for formulating, conducting, evaluating, and executing a wide range of economic and financial analysis that relate to the financial stability of the United States. The Director of Analysis will report to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the FSOC.

The Director of Analysis will direct and oversee the FSOC's financial stability monitoring efforts and will help advise the Council in identifying risks and emerging threats to financial stability. S/he will be responsible for producing research and analytical work product on financial stability risks as well as coordinating and leading briefings for senior-level principals on those risks and other issues of relevance to the Council. Additionally, the Director of Analysis will lead the development, preparation, and production of the Council's Annual Report to Congress, which describes the activities of the Council, significant financial market and regulatory developments, and potential and emerging threats to the financial stability of the United States. The annual report is a significant policy document requiring coordination of effort among the Council's fifteen member agencies and a deep understanding of how financial market activities, economic factors, and financial regulation intersect. The recommendations of the annual report often serve as objectives for the near-term focus of the Council and are scrutinized by the press, market participants, foreign financial regulators, and academia.

The Director of Analysis will also direct the coordination of interagency committees and working groups of the Council members involved in the monitoring and analysis of financial markets, institutions, and activities. The Director of Analysis will direct and oversee the FSOC's Systemic Risk Committee, which is the Council's standing committee composed of staff from all the FSOC members that helps the Council identify potential risks to financial stability.

The Director of Analysis will work collaboratively with staff from all the Council members as well as with staff from the Office of Financial Research (OFR). S/he will also work closely and collaboratively with the FSOC's Director of Policy. Given the nature and scope of the role, the Director of Analysis must have excellent analytical and writing skills, a track record of developing analytical work product on financial stability issues for senior-level principals, and experience working with financial regulators. S/he must also have experience leading and managing teams and working collaboratively with a broad range of stakeholders.
