Are you an economist with a passion for navigating the policy landscape and influencing future policymaking?

I am recruiting for a Director of Economic Policy on behalf of an influential business association to lead a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team of economists and policy advisers.

You'll be working on high profile policy issues, economic analysis and liaising with senior stakeholders including ministers and business leaders, focusing on the links between public policy and the business environment.

You'll need:

• A degree in Economics with substantial practical experience, ideally in a commercial setting
• A keen and broad interest in how economics affect policymaking
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex economic concepts
• A track record of influencing at senior levels
• A collaborative nature with the ability to lead and manage a team

This is a 12-month fixed term contract based in London with flexible working options.

• I am also recruiting a permanent position at a more junior level which requires more technical economics skills and project management experience.
