  • Collaborating with colleagues with specialist areas
  • Supporting and developing research proposals, project reports and presentations.
  • Taking the initiative in suggesting ways to strengthen the quality of our analysis; with progression to proactively developing new business opportunities.


Person Specification

The successful candidate will be expected to have 7-10 years of prior experience working as a professional economist. The successful candidate will be rigorous, adaptable and creative in seeking solutions to difficult economic questions and should also have the following attributes.


Essential:

  • An undergraduate degree in economics or a mixed degree that includes economics, statistics or mathematics.
  • A strong understanding of economic theory and the ability to apply it to answer applied research questions.
  • Experience of the analysis of economic policy, notably assessing the economic implications of tax reform.

  • Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain economic concepts and quantitative analysis, findings, assumptions and their implications, to non-specialists.
  • Attention to detail and a commitment to going the extra mile to produce rigorous, accurate work, within time and resource constraints.


Desirable:

  • A track record of managing large-scale consulting projects.
  • An advanced degree in statistics, mathematics, applied econometrics, applied economics, business economics or a related quantitative field.
  • Familiarity with analytical techniques such as IO modelling and cost-benefit analysis.
