Strategic Advisory: Advise senior leadership on geo-economic risks and opportunities impacting the bank and its clients. Contribute to strategic planning and country risk frameworks.

Stakeholder Engagement: Present insights to internal and external stakeholders, including institutional clients and media. Collaborate with economists and strategists across Global Economic & Markets Research.

Research & Publications: Produce high-quality publications, briefings, and presentations on geo-economic themes. Represent the bank at conferences, roundtables, and industry forums.

What You'll Bring

  • Relevant experience in geo-economic analysis, macroeconomics, or strategic planning—ideally within financial services, government, multilateral institutions, think tanks, consulting, or academia
  • Deep understanding of global economic systems and geopolitical dynamics
  • Exceptional communication skills—able to distil complex issues into clear, actionable insights
  • Proven ability to influence senior decision-makers and contribute to strategic outcomes
  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to work independently
  • A proactive approach to risk, aligned with our commitment to identifying, discussing, and acting on current and future risks
  • A degree in economics, international relations, or a related field

Why Join Us

You'll work in a dynamic environment that values innovation, collaboration, and thought leadership, with direct access to senior leadership and the ability to influence the bank's strategic direction. We offer competitive remuneration, comprehensive benefits, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to the future of financial services.
