Economist – Fixed Term Contract until 6th April 2027

Requirements of the role

Using your economic knowledge and experience, you will play a central role in delivering high-quality policy advice and analysis across a range of live policy issues.

You will deliver the economic input into policy development, working across a varied portfolio of projects. This will involve producing careful analysis to tight deadlines where needed, as well as undertaking more in-depth, longer-term research to support complex policy questions.

As a Lead Economist, you will manage multiple workstreams, including the design and management of projects. A key part of this will be leading cost–benefit analysis for proposed policy interventions, ensuring outputs are robust and credible.

Alongside your delivery responsibilities, you will support and develop more junior colleagues through line management and day-to-day work oversight. You will help set direction, provide guidance and promote a culture of balanced work and continuous professional development.

You will also work closely with the team manager to plan, prioritise and allocate work effectively across the team and act as an escalation point for complex or high-profile issues.
