The UK Research Economist provides analyses of economic, policy and political developments, with a view to assisting Citi’s clients and Citi’s businesses in making investment and other decisions. The topics of analysis may vary substantially, depending on economic and political circumstances. The economist operates in close collaboration within a team that includes professionals in Europe and across the world, but has specific responsibility for analyses relating to the United Kingdom and must be able to operate autonomously and provide thought leadership on a continuous basis. The economist also provides support and input to market strategists across asset classes. Citi’s Research leadership encourages excellence, original and creative thinking, and constructive debate, both internally and externally. Citi is a client focused institution, and therefore the role entails constant interactions with the firm’s clients. Citi operates many businesses and the economist engages with a variety of clients, including institutional investors, corporations, private banking clients and others. The economist represents the Firm in dealings with clients, as well as in occasional appearances in public events and or in the media. Deliverables take the form of published notes, formal and informal presentations and any other type of engagement with stakeholders that is necessary to convey the results of the analysis.
