Description
Oxford Economics, a leading economic forecasting and consulting firm, is looking to hire an experienced professional economist to join our consulting practice, taking on a leadership role to oversee and grow Oxford’s growing portfolio of public policy facing work, with a particular focus on the TMT sector. Although the individual will be based in London, the role will encompass a global mandate with the aim of coordinating programmes that run for clients across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. For example, recent research projects have covered topics such as sovereign AI, digital policy regulations in Asia Pacific, the implications of the DMA for the US technology sector, and anti-trust legislation in New York and California.
As well as this leading analytical role, the successful candidate will be expected to drive business development work in Europe both through the support of proposal work and the development of new ideas that can be pitched to clients and through cultivating a network of contacts in London and, potentially, Brussels.
The post-holder will report to the Managing Director of Economic Consulting.
Key Responsibilities
- Ensuring robust and rigorous economic analysis in the delivery of public policy projects.
- Providing detailed quality assurance to ensure that work across the consulting unit adheres to the company’s reputation for analytical excellence.
- Overseeing selected major research programmes to ensure successful delivery.
- Presenting research findings at events to build and enhance awareness of Oxford’s capabilities.
- Supporting business development through the development of creative solutions and managing and building relationships with clients.
- Being entrepreneurial and proactive in the identification and pursuit of new business opportunities.
