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.

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
• English proficiency, a graduate degree in economics, or equivalent 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:
