Application Deadline

The macroeconomics team at Nomura is compact – the Chief European Economist is supported by another economist; in addition there are two FX strategists. The small nature of the team would give the candidate a great deal of opportunity to grow into a wide-ranging role covering European macroeconomics (primarily euro area and UK, but Switzerland and Scandinavia too), reporting to the Chief European Economist.

Role Description

  • The ideal candidate will cover European macroeconomics and central banks, focused on the euro area and big four economies – Germany, France, Italy, Spain – the UK, Switzerland, Sweden and Norway.
  • Producing thematic research pieces, calling the direction of central bank policy decisions as well as regularly updating their models of GDP and inflation forecasts.
  • The candidate will be required to update clients and internal sales/traders on what the latest news means for their policy calls and the risks to the view ahead.
  • While primary focus would be on the euro area and UK, the candidate might be expected to spend some time covering Switzerland, Sweden and Norway, albeit to a lesser degree.

  • Experience of covering European economies and central banks from a macroeconomic perspective.
  • 1-3 years of relevant work experience ideal. Degree in economics/statistics/finance.
  • Experience with a European central bank or Treasury desirable but not necessary.
  • Ability to present to clients, update views in real time, speak on podcasts.

  • Fluency in spoken and written English; familiarity with other European languages a plus.
  • Experience in use of Excel/PowerPoint/Python/R. Haver/Macrobond/Economic software a plus.
  • Dynamic, entrepreneurial and inquisitive. Enjoys working in teams.

What we offer

  • Working in a small team means higher levels of responsibility and client visibility at an earlier stage in the career.
  • Exposure to a wide variety of clients and internal risk takers.
  • Competitive salary and bonus.
  • Client meeting travel.
  • Working from the heart of the City of London at Angel Lane.
