Position: UK & Ireland Research Senior Analyst
Level: Senior Analyst
Location: London
Reports to: Accenture Research UKI Lead
This is a commercially focused, applied research role within Accenture Research’s UK and Ireland (UKI) team. The role will work across industry sectors to apply quantitative research methods to client questions. These questions may range from:
- How could AI affect the UKI labour market to 2030?
- What might be the economic impact of nuclear fusion programmes in the UKI?
- What is the quantifiable value of personalisation to UKI consumers?
We are looking for a candidate with strong economic modelling capabilities, solid data science foundations, and excellent data visualisation skills — someone who can translate complex analysis into a compelling narrative. The ideal profile is akin to a “data journalist”: rigorous in modelling, sharp in insight generation and highly effective in visual storytelling.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree preferred; analytical disciplines advantageous (e.g., economics, natural sciences, mathematics).
- Equivalent demonstrated skills through work experience will also be considered.
Work experience:
- At least one year of experience applying economic analysis and/or data science in commercial, policy or research settings.
- Experience conducting economic impact assessments (e.g., analysis of additionality, spillovers or distributional effects) in policy or third sector settings is desirable.
- Academic research alone is insufficient without evidence of applied analytical delivery.
