Senior Economist – Macro Consulting

3 weeks ago


Canada, CA Oxford Economics Full time

Oxford Economics, a leading economic research and consulting firm, has an established service producing forecasts for Canadian provinces and metropolitan areas, as well as a strong track record in Canadian macroeconomic and sectoral analysis. To build on this success, we launched the Canadian Provincial and Territorial Model (CPTM), a detailed bottom-up sectoral model of each of Canada’s provinces and territories. The CPTM has seen significant growth since its launch three years ago, and is now utilized by clients across Canada. We believe there is still significant growth opportunity, and we’re seeking to add an economist to our team as Oxford Economics rapidly becomes the leading economic consultancy in Canada.

The position of Senior Economist is in the Macroeconomic Consulting division at Oxford Economics, based in Toronto, reporting to the Lead Economist also based in our Toronto office. The successful candidate will help support the continued development of Oxford Economics’ business in Canada, playing a key role in supporting the CPTM.

Key Responsibilities

Key elements of the role include the following:

  • Playing a key role in producing Oxford Economics’ Canadian provincial and territory forecasts and analysis, including maintaining and updating the CPTM and communicating analysis of the Canadian provinces and territories in quarterly forecast reports and Research Briefings. Managing and maintaining the model’s extensive historical data, and ensuring the on-time release of the quarterly updates is a crucial component of the role.
  • Providing technical support and training to existing CPTM clients.
  • Supporting a range of macro consultancy projects for clients in Canada and the US, including bespoke model development, research, and scenario modeling.
  • Working with the Lead Economist and the Canada business development team to build the consulting and subscription business. This entails participating in sales meetings, providing demonstrations of the CPTM to prospective clients, contributing to proposals, etc.
Person Specification

The role would suit someone who is rigorous and highly analytical, with a strong interest in undertaking model-based analysis for Canada and/or its Provinces. Attributes of the successful candidate will include the following:

  • Post-graduate degree in economics, with solid understanding of econometrics.
  • Strong technical skills, including statistical software packages (R, Eviews, etc.) and MS Excel.
  • Excellent analytical and quantitative skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with both colleagues and clients.
  • Solid written and verbal communication including the ability to explain results and their implications to non-specialists.
  • Experience analysing the Canadian economy, familiarity with provincial macroeconomic and industry data, and exposure to input-output models are all plusses.
  • Comfort with business French is also a plus, though not required.
