We are looking for someone with expertise in economic analysis, data analysis, quantitative research methods and project design to lead our growing portfolio of work in these areas.  

The role manages and/or supports all aspects of Youth Futures’ economic and data analysis, from design to impact. This will involve working closely with colleagues across the organisation, including our busy Policy, Communications, and External Affairs colleagues. 

To apply for this role you will be asked to answer 5 role based questions and to upload your CV.

Please note: you will be asked to confirm that you are answering the questions yourself and that answers are not plagiarised or automatically generated by AI software, before you start your application. 

We expect thoughtful and personalised responses to our application questions, rather than generic AI-generated answers. Applications found to contain AI-generated content without meaningful personalisation will be flagged, and scores could be impacted.

You must ensure that you genuinely record the abilities, skills and experience that are verifiable. Remember, as the applicant, you are responsible for the entire content of your application, regardless of how it is generated.
