ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

Take the lead in shaping Alberta’s economic future by turning data into insights that drive Treasury Board and Cabinet decisions. As our Economist, you’ll harness advanced models and research technicques to analyze impacts of policies and projects affecting the province’s prosperity.
Reporting to the Manager of Economic Impacts, you will conduct economic impact analyses of major economic policies and projects. You will employ the computable general equilibrium and Input-Output models, and economic multipliers, pinpoint how major developments and policy changes affect economic growth and tax revenue, and translate complex results into clear recommendations for senior leadership.
In this role, you will oversee the maintenance of existing models and conduct development and enhancement of new models, anticipate emerging public-policy issues, and quickly deliver targeted analysis to support your colleagues across the Economics and Fiscal Policy division. Your briefings will inform the Premier, the Minister of Finance, and Treasury Board committees, while your tact and judgment will guide cross-government working groups. You will thrive in a self-directed environment, influencing policy at a senior level and mentoring others through your expertise.
This position places you at the heart of provincial decision-making. You’ll work alongside senior officials, gain visibility across ministries, and drive economic insights that directly influence the well-being of Albertans. With access to a range of modelling tools and a collaborative team environment, you’ll enhance your technical prowess and analytical skills while contributing to high-stakes, impactful government initiatives.
Success hinges on blending rigorous quantitative and qualitative expertise with clear communication and strategic vision. You’ll anticipate policy questions, lead complex modelling projects end to end, and present your findings whether in technical reports or high-level briefings with confidence and clarity. Your ability to foster strong and respectful relationships, and apply systems thinking to interconnected policy challenges will set you apart.
