Crynodeb
We are looking for an analyst with experience working as a professional economist, able to effectively respond to changing priorities, and who enjoys working independently as well as co-delivering with others.
With close links to both DBT’s Strategy and Analysis functions, the technical depth of our work varies, from complex macro modelling and time series econometrics, to data visualisation. That is allied with an understanding of the big picture and how such approaches can be used to tackle strategic questions. As such, we are open to a diverse set of analytical skills that will complement the rest of the team – which boasts a mix of experience from around the Civil Service and the private sector.
As a civil servant and a member of the Government Economic Service (GES), you will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of personal and professional skills.
You will have a chance to develop strong macroeconomic analysis skills and a chance to apply them in economic analysis for central Government departments. You are bound to find great job satisfaction in our team, enhanced by a competitive benefits package, a collaborative working environment, and extensive networking opportunities.
Quantitative Analysis – You will use your economic knowledge and analytical experience to project how the global economy and trade are likely to evolve over the coming decades and what that means for the UK. This will include analysing how certain risks and scenarios could lead to different future outcomes. You will use your analysis to shed light on policy issues and strategic choices facing DBT.
Insight – You will enjoy discovering and applying new data sources and blending them with established macroeconomic, trade and investment datasets to deliver novel insights. And you will be proactive in developing your own knowledge and eager to grow the bounds of the team’s expertise.
Strategic thinking – A key part of your role will be developing knowledge on DBT’s policy priorities, and identifying how Departmental strategies could be improved using long-term thinking. This will include working on a range of business and trade issues focused on specific geographies, sectors, or issues.
Clear communications – You will enjoy converting your analytical insights into engaging reports and presentations that have practical relevance for your audience. You will be an articulate writer and have an eye for producing engaging graphics and charts. You will also be skilled at drawing out ‘Important facts’ that will grab the attention of your readers.
