Summary
Our mission is to ensure high-quality evidence and analysis informs all stages of the policy cycle across CCI. Our mission is supported by 4 objectives:
- Deliver influential analysis to inform policy, delivery and strategic decisions.
- Building our evidence base by identifying and filling our key evidence gaps through high quality research, data and evaluation.
- Work with others (policy, ALBs, academia, ESRC, AHRC etc) to deliver joined up evidence and analysis and maximise impact.
- Provide the right environment, support and opportunities for team members to flourish, developing as individuals and delivering excellent outputs, and maintaining our wellbeing.
As a embedded team we work collaboratively with our policy teams and stakeholders to drive positive change, shape policy and set direction. More recently, our work has been focussed on Government’s missions, including Health, Growth and Opportunity Mission.
You will lead the analytical work for the Museum and Cultural Property team, providing support in a dynamic and varied policy environment. We are looking for a highly driven economist with strong technical skills. Given the embedded nature of the role, you will work closely with a wide range of stakeholders, including Arms-Length Bodies, academia, consultancies, and research councils. This position is well-suited to individuals who can confidently engage with policy officials and external stakeholders. You will also need to take the initiative in addressing the analytical needs of policy officials, work effectively in a fast-paced environment, and demonstrate an inquisitive approach to applying and developing evidence.
Some of your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting economic analysis of the museum sector and arts markets.
- Strengthening the sector’s evidence base by drawing on relevant findings from various sources and translating them into policy insights to inform policy delivery.
- Leading internal and commissioned research and evaluations.
- Providing technical advice on business cases and impact assessments, working directly with museums to develop robust and innovative proposals with strong economic, strategic, and value-for-money cases.
- Collaborating with the Cultural and Heritage Capital (CHC) team to innovate and deploy the latest CHC methodology.
- Engaging with policy colleagues to enhance the visibility and impact of analysis, proactively deploying evidence, and improving analytical capabilities across the sectors.
