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 focused on Government’s missions, including Health, Growth and Opportunity Mission.
You will support analytical work for the Museum and Cultural Property team providing support in a dynamic and varied policy environment. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a newly formed analytical team; with scope for both internal and external research, use of best practice and innovative approaches to articulating the value of the museums and cultural property team.
We are looking for a highly driven assistant 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.
