Full job description

Oxford Economics, a leading global economic research and consultancy firm, is hiring one Economist to join our growing Belfast office. The candidate should have 1-3 years’ experience (not counting a placement year), ideally in an economic, analytical, consulting, or research role.

The role focuses on applying economic analysis for companies and public sector clients across EMEA, as part of consulting projects that help clients understand economic developments and the implications for their business.

The successful candidate will work across a range of consulting projects (and may take on some country forecasting responsibilities using our Global Economic Model), supporting clients with macroeconomic insight, econometric analysis, market forecasts, and risk analysis. The role requires good Excel and analytical skills, as well as good research, writing and presentation skills. Some applied experience and/or an academic background in economic analysis, forecasting, and econometrics is desired but not essential. The ability to design, validate, and interpret economic models for forecasting and scenario analysis is desired. Familiarity with Python and/or R, and practical application of AI, is desirable but not required.

The role offers strong skill development and learning & career progression opportunities, with scope to learn from, and work closely with, experienced economists, econometricians, and data specialists from across Oxford Economics’ wider UK and global network. The successful candidate will have opportunities to take on greater responsibility over time, depending on individual performance and business needs.

The closing date for applications is 3rd July, 2026 (Friday). Early applications are encouraged, as we may begin progressing candidates before the closing date.
