Senior Economist With major qualification reform underway, understanding how regulated markets may evolve has never been more important. Impending changes to qualifications across the sector will affect the supply of qualifications, the awarding organisations that offer them, and the choices made by students. We're expanding our Markets team and are looking for an experienced economist to lead high quality, insightful and timely analysis during this important period. As one of our Senior Economists, you will shape Ofqual's understanding of how qualification markets function today, how they may change under reform and how we evaluate those adjustments. You'll develop analytical frameworks, carry out robust economic analysis, and produce clear, evidence based insights that inform policy development, decision making and regulatory impact assessments. You'll work closely with our current economists and other colleagues across Ofqual. Your expert insights and robust findings will help create a shared understanding about the market, support decision making and inform impact assessments, enabling Ofqual to deliver effective and proportionate regulation. In doing this you'll draw on both quantitative and qualitative evidence and be comfortable explaining your methodologies and findings with a range of internal and external audiences.
