Applications for this job are now closed
Economics Consulting
In Economics Consulting you’ll advise high‑profile clients in the public and private sectors, providing economic insights and evidence to help inform their business decisions and shape their organisations. Our work addresses the most complex business and policy issues facing our clients, whether it’s navigating competition and commercial disputes; shaping efficient and competitive markets; providing macroeconomic forecasts; or appraising framing and delivering big investments.
What you'll do
As a graduate economist you’ll be able to work across 8 key areas, including regulatory economics, impact assessment, macroeconomics, pricing economics, behavioural economics, financial economics, econometric modelling and competition economics.
You'll typically find yourself in teams anywhere from 2 to 15 or more people, often with PwC teams from other parts of consulting, lines of service, and even other countries. You’ll undertake cutting-edge economic analysis whilst engaging with executives from the world’s top organisations, learning how to present and communicate your findings with impact. You will also have the opportunity to work on public thought leadership pieces that focus on topics as diverse as quantifying the impact of increasing female participation in the workforce to assessing the possible future role of drones on the UK economy. Our work is regularly featured in national newspapers and on the news.
Most of your work will be London based, largely at the More London office, but occasionally also at client offices. There are also many opportunities for travel, both within the UK and internationally.
We’ll monitor your development so you know how you're doing and where you can improve. Before you graduate from the Foundation programme, your readiness to promote to Senior Associate will be assessed against the PwC professional to demonstrate you have the attributes required and are ready to operate at that grade.
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 economics (such as machine learning, econometrics and business case appraisal), new technologies (such as Alteryx and Tableau), and general consulting skills (such as writing and presenting with impact).
What you'll need
You'll need to have, or be on course for, a 2.1 degree or above in an Economics related subject. We determine whether you're on course for a 2.1 based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study.
