Are you an experienced economist, looking for a high-profile role at the heart of Government?  If so, we’d love to hear from you

About the Team

The Macroeconomics Coordination and Strategy team is a friendly and open team working across the Treasury’s Economics Group and the Treasury more broadly, providing analysis, advice and briefing to Ministers on economic developments.

The team prepares regular updates on the macroeconomy for the Chancellor, presents economic updates to the PM, organises monthly State of the Economy meetings for Treasury staff, and leads on the presentation of the government’s economic narrative in external fora.

About the Job

This role is for an Economic Adviser in the Domestic Macroeconomic Coordination branch. The branch is responsible for bringing together the Treasury’s understanding of the current macroeconomic context, to support policymaking. The branch also ensures that key facts on the macroeconomy are communicated across the Treasury and externally in a robust and timely way. We are involved in high profile work, often at the centre of what the department is doing. We work closely with, and bring together the work of, many teams across the Economics Group and elsewhere in the Treasury.

Key accountabilities include:

  • Contribute to the assessment of the UK economy and near-term outlook, bringing together analysis across the group to tell a clear and accessible story. Work closely with our Press Office to ensure this story is articulated to the public.
  • Oversee high-quality economic briefing to be used across HM Treasury for policymaking and communications.
  • Regularly present on the economy to a range of stakeholders including Ministers, wider government, and Credit Rating Agencies.
  • Lead the organisation of a 6-weekly meeting for the Chief Economist and officials across Treasury on the latest on the economy.
  • Help project manage and coordinate the Economics Group’s input for key events including fiscal events.
  • Manage one economic apprentice, supporting them to develop their skills and deliver excellent work.

About You

This role would suit someone who has experience working on the UK economy and talking and presenting to a range of stakeholders including non-experts. The candidate would enjoy working in a cross-cutting team collaborating with many colleagues around the department and beyond, often at the centre of what HM Treasury is working on. While not an analysis focused role, there will be opportunities for analytical projects where core workload allows.
