Do you want a well-paid government job in a prize-winning workplace that offers big bonuses to most staff?

The Future Fund Management Agency in Melbourne is hiring two mid-level investment analysts, and the potential rewards are immense.

But you'd best apply quickly. It does not recruit often because it does not need to: its 90 staff are among the happiest in the federal public service, and they barely ever take a day off.

The agency was responsible for paying the bureaucracy's biggest performance bonuses last year, including a $633,216 payment to one of its senior executives.
