Samples of our work can be found on our website.
We are looking for an economist to work in our US Property team, providing insight and forecasts to more than 100 clients across residential and commercial markets, including a range of investors, as well as brokers and lenders.
At the core of the role is the need to apply economic analysis to property.
The main responsibilities include:
producing regular written analysis, from quick responses to detailed thematic research; shaping our property views, using our latest economic forecasts; presenting our analysis and forecasts in dashboards, podcasts and webinars; identifying the key risks for property; maintaining and improving our in-house data sets.
As a fast-growing global company, CapitalEconomics offers successful applicants a competitive salary and a generous bonus, as well as excellent in-house training to develop your skills and further your career.
Following the pandemic, we operate a hybrid work model, with a mixture of in-office and remote work.
The role is initially based in London, though there may be opportunities to work in our North American offices in future.
There is no standard CapitalEconomics employee.
We are committed to employing from diverse backgrounds and fostering an inclusive atmosphere.
Our economists tend to be intelligent, questioning and independently minded and enjoy the challenge of creating views and expressing them to clients.
The average tenure of economists at the company is relatively long (c.
5-6 years) and many choose to stay at CapitalEconomics for a large part of their career.
The skills and experience gained are widely prized and leavers from the property team have moved to high-profile roles across the real estate industry.

a good undergraduate degree in economics or related subject; some previous experience as an economic or property analyst; an ability to analyse data and identify trends; a facility for logical thinking and coherent argument; an ability to communicate in clear written English; a willingness to critically assess other views.
