Singapore

Economist (Singapore)

Overview

We are the independent economic consultants for complex commercial, litigation, regulatory and public policy decision-making. Our results for clients are well regarded because they are underpinned by our economists' 30+ years of sector expertise, technical experience, and robust economic modelling and analysis.

Making an impact for our clients means understanding their circumstances and critical issues – whether this is the commercial reality of their business, the forces driving customer behaviour, the implications of regulatory decisions, or even the political context. Our economic consultants work on a range of microeconomics projects for clients across a range of sectors including energy, climate change, telecoms, transport, water, natural resources and financial services. 

We are currently recruiting for full-time, experienced economists in our growing Singapore office. We seek to grow our existing group of consultants with energetic, resourceful and self-motivated individuals; highly valuing those who can integrate strong problem-solving abilities and purposeful communication.

If you are an economist who is keen to work with us, please apply via the job application form.
