Transforming Lives

This is a high-profile opportunity to join the Government Economic Service and use your skills and knowledge as a professional economist to improve the lives of millions, working to formulate, implement, and evaluate government policy across a range of areas.

High Profile

Wherever you join the GES, you’ll be delivering rigorous economic analysis to advise ministers and senior officials, ensuring that policy is informed by the strongest possible analytical underpinnings. Strengthening the evidence base and evaluating the costs and benefits of different policy options will also likely form part of your remit.

Variety of Roles

We are looking for professional economists to join us and work in more than 12 Departments across a range of locations, including:

Department for Exiting the EU
Department for International Development
Department for International Trade
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs
Office for National Statistics
Scottish Government

Additional posts in other government departments may become available before the closing date and further details of all posts are available on our website www.ges.gov.uk.

The Person

Ready for far-reaching influence, you will have a proven track record as a professional economist supported by a 2:1 degree and/or MSc in economics. It’s possible you’re currently working in the third sector or an Arms Length Body (ALB), a consultancy, or a research organisation so you’ll have some expertise in the areas we work in. You’ll definitely have strong project management skills. Your flair for analysing a large amount of data, making effective decisions, and developing and managing others will be matched by sound understanding of economic theory. Your talent for communicating your findings to a wide range of audiences, including very senior stakeholders, through briefings and advice will make you stand out.

A Great Package

We want our people to have a good work life balance so we offer a family-friendly environment, flexible working, a commitment to continuous learning and development and an attractive pension scheme. Civil Service nationality rules allow us to accept only applications from UK nationals, Commonwealth citizens or European Economic Area and Swiss Nationals.
