Oxford Economics, a leading global economic research and consultancy firm, is looking to hire a Lead Econometrician to join the consulting directorate of Oxford Economics. The consulting team consists of around 30 economists, with teams operating across London, New York and Singapore. The group tackles a wide range of questions raised by our clients, from quantifying the economic impact of some of the world’s largest airlines and evaluating the effect of restricting competition in the 5G market, to valuing the social contribution of housing and debt-relief charities. Further examples of our work are available here.


In the role, you will primarily work on projects that require econometric, quantitative or technical expertise or more complex applications of economic theory. You will be expected to present and communicate ideas and findings to both colleagues and clients in an accessible style and, therefore, require strong written and verbal communication skills. Typically, you will be working on between three and five projects simultaneously with the intensity of the workload associated with any one project varying depending on the stage of the research. The role offers an excellent opportunity to work with our diverse range of clients based all over the world and in all sectors.

  • Managing the delivery of consulting projects including taking responsibility for leading communication with the client and coordinating internal resources to ensure the timely execution of work.
  • Leading and overseeing the production of reporting assets for clients for the completion of the research.
  • 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.
  • Advanced Excel skills – knowledge of advanced functions (V/H lookups, Index, Nested If-then-else, etc.) and experience in formula auditing.
  • 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.
  • Experience of working in research projects involving the application of econometric modelling techniques such as difference-in-difference modelling, gravity frameworks and panel regressions.
