Central Singapore Capital Economics Full time

Capital Economics is one of the world’s leading independent economic research companies. Our goal is to provide our clients with original, timely and insightful analysis supported by solid economic thinking. Samples of the sort of work we produce can be found on our website.

We are looking for a macroeconomist to join our Singapore Team to work on our Asia-Pacific region. We look for people who are willing to challenge the consensus, who possess strong analytical skills, and who have the ability to express themselves in English with clarity and concision.

The main responsibility would be to contribute to our research on Asia-Pacific. You would:

- Contribute to our views on the economic outlook and monetary policy in the region. Try to identify where consensus expectations for policy and for key economic and financial indicators are wrong.
- Produce frequent pieces of written analysis on these views. At one end of the spectrum, this would include responses to events, data releases and policy decisions, which are sent to clients within a few minutes. At the other, you would be writing on themes that are likely to shape the economy over several years.
- As your expertise grows, you would present these views directly to clients, whether in person, on the telephone or conference calls, or at seminars. You would also be encouraged to build your own profile, including through media appearances.

Please send a CV with a short covering letter explaining why you want to work for Capital Economics and why you are suited to the role.

At Capital Economics, we are striving to create a diverse workforce and inclusive environment, which we believe are critical to help us make better decisions for the company, our employees, and our clients. A diverse and inclusive workplace makes for more innovative, engaged, and empowered employees, from whom business strength can be derived. This is particularly important in macroeconomic research, which relies on a diversity of views and opinions to be relevant and insightful.

**Requirements**:

- A strong academic background with, at least, a good undergraduate degree in economics.
- Some experience working as a macroeconomist within the public sector, a financial institution or a research organisation. Previous experience covering the Asia-Pascific region would be an advantage but is not essential.
- Above all, strong writing skills. Most of our output is written, so the ability to structure a written argument in English and express it clearly and concisely is a must. The hiring process includes a writing assessment.

**Benefits**
- Leave package
- Hybrid working (working from home and office)
- Training & development
- Competitive medical insurance
- Good additional maternity and paternity policies
- Weekly at home wellbeing classes (Yoga, Meditation)
