Proofreader and Communications Manager

What we do

Alma Economics combines unparalleled analytical expertise with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.

We are a team of economists, social researchers, data scientists, developers and creatives working together on critical issues facing our society today. Our work spans multiple policy areas, including education, health and social care, housing and homelessness, the environment, public finance, and international development, among others.

Our diverse staff combines decades of experience in economic and social research at the highest levels with the ability to develop state-of-the-art tech tools and powerful communications.

We work with some of the most forward-thinking organisations in the voluntary, public, and private sectors. Our clients include most UK government departments, the Welsh Government, the Scottish Government, councils across the country, arms-length bodies, and several leading charities.

Internationally, we work with major supranational organisations including the World Bank, UNICEF, the WHO, the OECD, and the European Commission, as well as a number of national governments in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

What you will do

This is the role for you if you’ve always imagined working in an international setting with a team that values your talent. You will have the chance to work on exciting projects, collaborating with colleagues across our Athens and London offices and partners worldwide.

Beyond that, you will have the opportunity to shape your role based on your skills and how you want to develop. Our team is growing, and you will have the chance to get involved in other areas you find exciting: from the wider publications process to social media management, internal communications, copywriting, and media production.

You will be part of a team where we support each other and have the chance to bring fresh perspectives that shape our approach.
