Chief Economic Adviser

The Chief Economic Adviser is the principal economic voice to senior leadership. You will lead a multidisciplinary team , integrate diverse streams of analysis into clear, decision-ready recommendations, and serve as the institution's most senior authority on economic strategy, policy, and risk.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the economic direction of a complex, fast-moving environment from the very top. You will set the analytical agenda, build a culture of rigor and independence, and ensure that on every consequential economic question, leadership is served with a single, coherent, well-reasoned view. The role demands both intellectual depth and the gravitas to advise, and challenge decision-makers at the highest level.
