Economist

The role

As an Economist at Alma Economics, your tasks will range from technical econometric modelling to drafting clear and concise reports that communicate complex analysis in plain English. You will be mentored by top economists and take your analytical, teamwork and project-management skills to another level. The work you contribute to will have an impact on key policy areas worldwide.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Perform evidence reviews

  • Identify appropriate data sources and create datasets

  • Carry out quantitative analysis (such as forecasting and microeconomic modelling)

  • Conduct qualitative research

  • Draft reports

Who we are looking for

We welcome applications by students (BSc, MA/MSc or PhD level) in their final year of studies or recent graduates, who are able to start work within 12 months from the date of application (including immediate start dates). 

Requirements 

  • University-level degree in Economics, Econometrics or related quantitative discipline (a master’s degree or PhD would be an advantage, but it is not required)

  • Fluency in English – both written and oral (fluency in other languages - including Greek - is a plus, but not necessary)

Working arrangements

Alma Economics is a friendly and informal place, and our offices are designed for both work and play. We enjoy working from the office as we foster a strong culture within modern and fun spaces, allowing for casual catch ups, mentoring, brainstorming and teambuilding.

We do not have a one-size-fits-all WfH policy. Most staff members work from home for one or two days during a typical week, while it is also possible to arrange to WfH for more extended periods (e.g., 2-4 weeks) to visit family or travel.

While most staff work 5-day weeks, for most full-time positions we also offer the option of a 4-day working week, either from day one or as an arrangement employees can transition into later in their Alma career.

Our offices are disabled-accessible, and we are committed to providing all necessary support to colleagues that require it, but we are also happy to consider remote working arrangements for applicants with disabilities or health conditions that prevent them from working on-site.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and ensure that no one receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or physical condition, marital status, race, or religion.
