Miliband is the son of Marion Kozak and the late Marxist theorist Ralph Miliband, a Belgian–Jewish refugee during the Second World War, and read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. After a brief career in television journalism, he became a speechwriter and researcher for Labour politician Harriet Harman in 1993, and then for Shadow Chancellor Gordon Brown the following year. He has worked in an economic capacity since, although in 2003–4, he spent a year's sabbatical at Harvard University, as a visiting lecturer in government.

He is the younger brother of the MP and Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Secretary David Miliband. Like his brother, he is often regarded as a rising star of the Labour Party.

In early 2005 he resigned from HM Treasury and, in May, was elected to Parliament. In Tony Blair's cabinet reshuffle of 5 May 2006 [link] he was made the Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office.
