Economic Development Consultant

We're looking for a Consultant, Senior Consultant or Associate to support the continued growth of our Economic Development business.

You'll work alongside experienced specialists on high-profile projects while helping to grow our client relationships and market presence.

We're open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds. Consultancy experience is desirable, but we're equally interested in individuals with strong economic development experience gained in the public or private sector.

This is a national opportunity, with flexibility around office location and hybrid working.

A genuine passion for economic development, regeneration and placemaking

A degree or professional background in economics, economic development or a related discipline

Experience preparing business cases, economic appraisals or cost-benefit analysis

Strong analytical, numerical and problem-solving skills

Excellent report writing and communication skills

The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities

Commercial awareness and a collaborative approach

Experience within the property sector is advantageous but not essential, and RICS qualification is not required.

You'll join a collaborative, ambitious team working on projects that have a genuine impact on communities and economic growth across the UK.

In return, you'll benefit from:

Exposure to nationally significant regeneration and infrastructure projects

A supportive and collaborative culture

Clear opportunities for career progression

Flexible hybrid working

The chance to develop your expertise alongside some of the industry's leading economic development specialists

If you're looking to build your career while helping shape the future of places across the UK, we'd love to hear from you.
