Bloomberg Economics - UK Economist

With close to 50 economists and 200 economics and government reporters worldwide, Bloomberg has an outstanding capacity to explain where the global economy and geopolitics are now, where they might be heading, and the ways in which the forces interact.

Bloomberg Economics offers a comprehensive macroeconomic research service for Terminal subscribers. That includes detailed forecasts, supported by thorough and thematic research. The economists also produce previews of major data releases and economic events as well as analysis of the numbers as they break. The goal is to offer Bloomberg clients a deeper insight into the themes that drive policy, financial markets and capital flows.

We are seeking an economist specializing in the UK economy to join our research team.

We'll trust you to:

• Produce research and analysis of key UK data releases and Bank of England meetings

• Present the team's view at conferences, on television and radio, in print media as well as meeting with clients.
• Collaborate on projects with the broader Bloomberg Economics group - contributing quotes to news stories and from time to time working on joint projects with economics reporters.

You'll need to have:

• 5+ years of experience in economic analysis, with proven expertise in analyzing UK economic data, monetary and fiscal policies including long-term challenges. We also welcome applications from candidates with more experience
• The energy and the initiative to provide a consistent flow of original, high-quality analysis and to operate in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

We'd love to see:

• Experience producing research across a variety of formats, ranging from rapid responses to economic events to longer-term collaborative research into major global economic trends
• Experience working in economic policy or financial markets
• An understanding of econometrics and experience applying quantitative methods to answer questions relevant to investors
