Here in the Greater London Authority (GLA), GLA Economics' analysis and advice informs many of the investment decisions we make. The GLA requires high quality economic analysis and advice to ensure that the strategies we develop and the projects we deliver are based on sound evidence. GLA Economics - part of the GLA's Intelligence Unit - is also an information resource for anyone with an interest in London's economy, including the capital's academics, commentators and decision makers.

Bring your knowledge and passion for economics together with your ambition to maintain London's global standing and you'll make GLA Economics the first port of call for reliable data and analysis on London's economy.

The information and data you'll work with is often complex. However, with your clear, analytical approach, you'll provide high level commentary with ease – communicating complicated ideas in straightforward, accessible ways to suit any audience.

The role will focus on providing economic policy analysis and advice to support the London Plan, particularly with regards to land use and employment projections. The role will also cover a range of policy areas relating to the London Enterprise Panel including labour markets, SMEs and policy sectors such as the creative and science & technology industries.

In addition to a good salary package, we offer an attractive range of benefits including 30 days' annual leave, interest free season ticket and bicycle loan and final salary pension scheme.
