Senior Economist

What you will do

As a Senior Economist at Alma Economics, you will take the lead on multiple projects, by designing and applying innovative analytical approaches on a variety of topics.

You will have direct line management responsibilities for a team of (typically) 1-3 economists and provide guidance on the application of theory and techniques. You’ll be responsible for the effective day-to-day operation of your team and support their development and realisation of their long-term goals.

There will also be opportunities to get involved in other areas of our work, including business development and stakeholder engagement.

Who we want to work with

Your technical economics abilities are exceptional, and you have strong project and stakeholder management skills. You excel at leading teams and enjoy working with others.

You take active steps to develop and support your colleagues. You can explain complex ideas clearly.

You love learning and you always operate with integrity. As our work evolves, you will find opportunities to enhance your professional abilities, satisfy your intellectual curiosity and define your role in a dynamic work environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead on the conceptualisation, development and execution of projects

  • Manage project teams to prepare and deliver projects, ensuring that all outputs are up to or exceed company standards

  • Develop research techniques and methodologies to meet client needs and expectations

  • Formulate strategies with senior management for project delivery, business development and resource allocation

  • Engage with stakeholders and clients

  • Foster teamwork

Requirements:

  • University-level degree in Economics, Econometrics or a related discipline (MSc or PhD would be a significant advantage, though not necessary; candidates’ economics knowledge and ability to do applied work will be tested during the interview process)

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.
