Executive - Economic Advisory - London
At EY-Parthenon, our unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance delivers real-world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. Benefiting from EY’s full spectrum of services, we’ve reimagined strategic consulting to work in a world of increasing complexity. With deep functional and sector expertise, paired with innovative AI-powered technology and an investor mindset, we partner with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments every step of the way.
EY-Parthenon’s Economic Advisory team of 40 economists combines deep economic expertise with advanced quantitative and analytical techniques to help clients address complex strategic, regulatory and policy challenges. Our work spans a wide range of issues including competition, regulation, transaction support, public policy and economic impact.
We are looking to recruit an Executive (Assistant Manager) level economist to support the continued growth of our practice. This role is suited to candidates with 3 plus years of relevant experience in applying economics to real-world problems, across consultancy, industry, regulators or government.
Your Key Responsibilities
As an Executive in Economic Advisory, you will:
- Support the delivery of high-quality economic analysis across multiple client engagements.
- Apply economic theory, econometrics and quantitative techniques to solve complex problems and inform decision-making.
- Undertake data analysis, modelling and interpretation to generate actionable insight.
- Contribute to the preparation of clear, well-structured reports, presentations and client deliverables.
- Assist in economic impact assessments, regulatory analysis, and strategy-related engagements.
- Work collaboratively with senior team members to deliver projects on time and to a high standard.
- Support client interactions, helping to communicate complex economic concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Identify issues, contribute ideas and support the development of practical solutions for clients.
- Contribute to the development of HM Treasury Green Book-compliant business cases, applying robust appraisal, cost-benefit analysis and options assessment techniques to support investment and policy decisions
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
