**)**

**Primary Location** UK-ENG-Glasgow

**Job** Economics

**Organisation** 532000 - MONETARY ANALYSIS

**Job Posting** 22-May-2023, 12:43:35 PM

The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the people of the UK.
- We are a diverse organisation. Each of our 4,000 plus people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom.

The Bank’s network of Agents around the UK provide a key support for all of our core purposes by talking directly to businesses and other organisations to gather information about the economy to inform policymakers. We also play an important role in representing the Bank throughout the UK.
- We are recruiting for a Deputy Agent in the Scotland Agency.

***

**Department Overview**

The Agency network consists of 12 Agencies located around the UK. We work closely with businesses and community organisations, including schools and charities. We regularly speak to our contacts to learn about the decisions they are taking; and how they see the economy evolving. The information that we gather is an important source for the Bank’s policy makers, who also join some meetings with stakeholders.
- The Deputy Agent’s role involves meeting many different people, often senior business leaders, listening to their experiences, and representing the Bank of England effectively.

***

**Role Description**
- You will be part of a small team (an Agent, two Deputy Agents and a support function) in the Glasgow Agency, based in the Bank’s Scottish Hub in Bothwell Street in Glasgow. You will gather, report and analyse economic intelligence from regular meetings with our contacts. These are businesses and other organisations spread throughout Scotland. You meet them either in face-to-face meetings or virtually by video call. Each meeting is carefully documented so that the information can be shared with colleagues.

You will also regularly help to organise and chair ‘panels’ of businesses, collecting information and views from each attendee.

You will analyse and distil the information that we gather to create an overview of current developments in the economy. This involves reading through the intelligence gathered across the country on a specific topic (for example, activity in the manufacturing sector of the economy or how businesses are responding to climate goals) and summarising the general trend to input to a range of policy meetings at the Bank. You will be expected to build and work with a network of stakeholders within the Bank to ensure our intelligence feeds into the Bank’s economic assessment.

You may help survey our business contacts on a specific topic and help to analyse the results.

Team members regularly give presentations to our stakeholders, which summarise the Bank’s economic assessment and key policy messages. We present to a range of audiences around Scotland - business events, trade body events, to employees and to schools and universities. Depending on your experience and preferences you will be asked to contribute to these presentations.

You will help organise and join meetings between our senior policymakers (including the Governor) and our local contacts, so that they can hear first-hand the views of businesses and communities.

For more information on the role of the Agents and their contributions to the Bank’s work please see the Quarterly Bulletin article “The Agencies and 'One Bank'; and also the Agents’ Summary of Business Conditions included (Box C) in the Monetary Policy Report - May 2023 | Bank of England.

**Role Requirements**
- This role will suit people from a range of backgrounds who are confident in and have a strong interest in business and economics.
- As a minimum you will need to show:

- The ability to work independently, and also collaboratively within a large team.
- A good understanding of the Bank’s approach to monetary and financial policy and the ability to keep pace with key economic developments.
- Skill in interviewing and building rapport with stakeholders.
- Ability to digest large amounts of information efficiently, and extract key messages.
- Ability to present information clearly and engagingly both in writing and in presentations.
- Good judgement and discretion - able to represent the Bank of England diplomatically.

In addition it will be desirable if you:

- Could demonstrate an understanding of the Scottish economy and business community
- Have analytical skills for assessing qualitative and quantitative information. This could include an interest in data science, using Excel to analyse data, and possibly the ability to write code.
- Have a full UK driving licence.

**Our commitment to diversity and inclusion**

The Bank values diversity and inclusion - we want to reflect the society we serve better, we want the best people to work for us and we want
