Grow your economics career at Infometrics

Infometrics is a great place to put your passion for economics into practice.

You will work with a team of top economists who grapple with cutting-edge economic and policy issues, including areas such as economic impact assessments, housing policy analysis, immigration and skills policy, the future of work and regional analysis.

We give our economists autonomy and encourage them to work in areas they are passionate about. We believe people perform best when they are doing what they love.

We embrace innovation and technology to make economic data and information accessible to a wide audience. Our technology enables us to spend less time grappling with data and more time working with our clients on what it means.

Our economists are not deskbound, and our positions offer plenty of people contact. You will be out and about interacting with a diverse range of clients across New Zealand.

We offer extremely flexible working conditions. Most of our economists work from home part of the week. We are family friendly so enable you to work around family commitments. We support our team when they need it, including with a generous leave policy.

A varied role with opportunities to build your experience working in the NZ economy

The role offers variety, and you will work across all parts of our consulting business.

You will help with the write-up of our economic forecasts and short commentaries on new data releases.

You will be involved with consulting projects, data analysis, and report writing.

The role is Wellington-based.

Desired qualifications, skills, and attributes

• You will have an economics degree, preferably postgraduate.

• We will consider new graduates and people with up to four years’ experience in an economics-related role.

• You will need knowledge of the New Zealand economy, the issues confronting it, and an appetite to broaden that knowledge base.

• Coding skills, especially in R, would be preferred.

• At times you will need to work under pressure and meet deadlines, for which you will need to be organised, with good time management skills.

• You will have outstanding interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate economic concepts to a non-technical audience.

• We work collaboratively, so you will be a strong team player.
