We are looking for someone with a strong background in economics to join our team as a Research and Data Project Lead in Economics.

This role will focus on leading economics-related projects, particularly within our core topics of global poverty, inequality, economic growth, and government spending. This person will collaborate closely with our data scientists and help guide the strategic direction of our work in these areas.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong capability in project management, technical writing, and data analysis, along with a deep understanding of economic research and data.

Deadline to apply: Sunday 11 August 2024 (23:59 London time)

Contract type: Full-time, flexible hours.

Compensation: £55,000 to £65,000 per year for candidates living in the UK. We will discuss ranges with international candidates individually.

Location: Our offices are in Oxford, United Kingdom, but many people in our team work remotely. We welcome applications from international candidates, though working hours should partly overlap with core UK working hours to facilitate effective collaboration with our team. Visa sponsorship may be considered for the right candidate, depending on individual circumstances and relocation preference.
