You will assist in the delivery of economic analysis and research to help the FMA make good decisions.
A substantial part of your work will be empirical research so you'll need some background in data analysis, ideally with some coding experience.
You'll need to able to think critically about a range of data and information sources, and how we can use them to gain insights into the key questions that our front-line teams are facing.

You'll need to use your ingenuity as we find innovative ways to answer these questions.
That might include seeking out new data sources, engaging with other FMA staff and with the businesses we regulate, or synthesizing the international research on a particular topic.
