Graduate Economist

In Economics Consulting, you'll advise high-profile clients in both the public and private sectors, offering economic insights to inform business decisions and shape organisations. Our work tackles complex business and policy issues, including navigating competition and commercial disputes, shaping efficient markets, providing macroeconomic forecasts, and delivering major investments.

What you'll do

As a Graduate Economist, you'll work across our five key propositions:

- Economic Insight and Market Edge
- Business Case Evaluation and Policy Appraisal
- Infrastructure Economics
- Behavioural Economics
- Competition Pricing and Digital Markets

You'll collaborate in project teams ranging from 2 to 15+ members, often alongside PwC colleagues from various Consulting divisions, Lines of Service, and international offices. You'll perform innovative economic analyses, engage with top executives, and learn to present your findings effectively. Additionally, you'll contribute to public thought leadership on diverse topics, such as the impact of increased female workforce participation or the future role of drones in the UK economy. Our work is frequently featured in national media.

Most projects will be based in London, primarily at our More London office, with occasional client site visits. There may also be opportunities for travel within the UK and internationally.

We will monitor your progress and provide guidance and support throughout your internship or graduate programme to prepare you for the next step in your career.
