Graduate, Economics and Impact Consulting, Belfast, Autumn 2023 Belfast, Northern Ireland
Job description
Economics and Impact Consulting
Sitting within our growing Strategy business within Northern Ireland, you will work with predominantly public sector clients across two areas of work:
Economics: providing economic insights and evidence to help inform policy, business cases, and programmatic decisions, and providing economic commentary on macro issues affecting the Northern Ireland economy
Impact: supporting clients with programme evaluations, economic evaluations, and social impact assessment work across a wide range of sectors such as climate change, education, trade, health, and international development among others.
What you'll do
As the team in Northern Ireland is growing, you’ll be able to both support the growth areas of the local team, as well as support a broader National team on a wider range of economic topics, including regulatory economics, impact assessment, macroeconomics, pricing economics, behavioural economics, financial economics, econometric modelling, and competition economics. There would also be opportunities to work on projects that span the broader areas of Strategy and Management Consulting.
What you'll gain
We’ll help you learn and improve every day with hands-on coaching, a dedicated mentoring scheme, regular ‘lunch and learn’ sessions, and seminars with academic and client speakers to build your technical economics understanding alongside core consulting skills. We also provide opportunities for formal training in technical skills (such as programme evaluation, machine learning, econometrics, business case appraisal, and the CFA programme), new technologies (such as Alteryx, Power BI and Tableau), and general consulting skills (such as writing and presenting with impact).
What you'll need
You will preferably have achieved or be on track to pass an undergraduate degree or above in an Economics related subject (with a minimum 50% Economics module coverage). We would also consider exceptional candidates with a social science or related background who can demonstrate a strong understanding of government policy and/or programme evaluation techniques.
We determine whether you're on course to pass based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study.
The start date for this programme will be October 2023
The deadline to submit your application is 16th June 2023
