Are you an analyst with a background in economics and an interest in forecasting?
The Scottish Fiscal Commission is recruiting to fill a post in its economic forecasting team.
You will work closely with the senior analyst to design, build and run economic forecasting models. You will lead on discrete projects, tackling new forecasting challenges arising from national and global developments. You will help in developing a narrative around these forecasts and communicating the forecasts to colleagues, the Commissioners and stakeholders. You will also gain experience in communicating with a range of audiences, managing a programme of analytical work and developing analytical expertise. You do not need extensive understanding of economic forecasting as you will learn the necessary skills on the job.
Responsibilities
* Design, build and run economic forecasting models.
* Work on the Commission’s key publications including forecast reports and forecast evaluation reports. Ensure the work of the Commission is clearly presented and accessible to a wide range of audiences.
* Take responsibility for your learning and development so you can continue to build and develop the work of the team.
* Help build positive working relationships with stakeholders including the Scottish Government and the Office for Budget Responsibility.
