Are you an experienced economist with a passion for policy research and data-driven insights?

Our client is a leading global company who have an opportunity for a Senior Economist to join its Consumer Insights team within the broader Data & Insights organisation. This role will serve as a strategic partner to the Global Affairs team, using economic analysis and market research to shape external positions and strengthen relationships with key stakeholders.

In this role, you will develop a roadmap for economic research on key policy issues, oversee rigorous economic analysis, and design methodologies for diverse economic assessments. A major focus will be scaling economic impact reporting across relevant markets.

You’ll collaborate closely with Data Science and Engineering teams to experiment with innovative analytical approaches and develop new metrics. Additionally, you will manage vendor relationships to support global deliverables and serve as the primary point of contact for economic insights within the organisation.

The ideal candidate has at least 10 years of experience in economics, statistics, or related fields, including time spent in a regulatory environment, economic consultancy, or similar roles. You should be adept at handling complex policy issues, applying economic principles to real-world challenges, and communicating insights clearly. Strong analytical skills, familiarity with econometrics, and experience with economic impact modeling are essential.

A global mindset, cultural awareness, and an understanding of the digital media and entertainment sector would be advantageous. If you are immediately available, thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment and are eager to apply your expertise to shaping policy discussions, we encourage you to explore this opportunity.
