Job description

The Principal Economist is based in our Impact and Evidence team and supports our work to improve understanding of youth unemployment in England, so that we can make a positive impact on outcomes for young people.

We are looking for someone with expertise in economic analysis, data analysis, quantitative research methods and project design to lead our growing portfolio of work in these areas.

The role manages and/or supports all aspects of Youth Futures’ economic and data analysis, from design to impact. This will involve working closely with colleagues across the organisation, including our busy Policy, Communications, and External Affairs colleagues.

The Principal Economist will support Youth Futures’ mission as a What Works Centre by:

  • Identifying key research questions; exploring youth employment within the wider labour market, the UK economy, and local economies.
  • Working with research and analysis partners to ensure projects are delivered to a high standard, on time and to budget; and quality assuring outputs to deliver clear recommendations that will influence practice and policy.
  • They will also lead the oversight and development of our Data Dashboard, and they will be responsible for the next phase of work towards an economic model of youth employment.

This role can be based at any of our hubs located in Birmingham, Leeds or London. We currently operate a hybrid model of two-days per week in the office and three-days from home.
