Job Description

Associate Director / Director – Economics & Socioeconomics

n

London | Hybrid working

n

n

We've partnered with a long-standing client on a senior growth hire within their established Economics team.

n

n

Having worked with the business for more than 10 years and placed over 20 people across different teams, it's a company and culture we know extremely well.

n

n

Our client is an independent, multidisciplinary planning consultancy with a strong reputation across the industry. They're now looking for someone to help deliver and further shape their Economics offering.

n

n

The ideal hire is likely to be an experienced Associate Director with a strong background in socioeconomics. That said, Director-level candidates with a strong commercial track record will also be considered.

n

n

The brief is deliberately broader than a traditional socioeconomics role. We're also interested in speaking with people who combine this experience with business cases, economic strategy and wider strategic advisory work.

n

n

The work could include:

n

    n

  • Socioeconomic and economic impact assessments
  • n

  • Business cases and strategic advisory work
  • n

  • Economic strategy and research
  • n

  • Health, equalities and social value assessments
  • n

  • EIA, major development and infrastructure projects (DCO-related work)
  • n

n

n

At Associate Director level, you'll have the opportunity to influence project delivery, team development and strategic decisions within the department.

n

n

At Director level, there is greater scope to develop new revenue streams, broaden the team's capabilities and help shape its future growth.

n

n

We're looking for someone with strong technical credibility, leadership ability and commercial awareness. Experience of DCO/NSIP work would be valuable but it isn't a prerequisite for the role.

n

n

Why consider it?

n

    n

  • Genuine growth hire
  • n

  • Established Economics team with scope to shape its future
  • n

  • Strong, collaborative culture
  • n

  • Clear progression opportunities
  • n

  • Flexible working with two days from home
  • n

  • Opportunity to influence the future direction of the department
  • n

n

n

All applications and conversations will be treated in complete confidence.
