Economist / Economic Research Consultant

We are looking for an experienced Economist / Economic Research Consultant to work with us on a project-by-project basis.

This is not a full-time position. Work will be offered when we have a project, and compensation will be hourly based on the hours required for each project.

What You’ll Help With

- Economic and market research
- Competitor analysis
- Pricing and demand analysis
- Business and industry research
- Data analysis and interpretation
- Economic forecasting when appropriate
- Research for new business and product ideas
- Creating clear reports and recommendations

Collaborative Work

This is a hands-on, collaborative position. I want to participate in the research and analysis rather than simply receive a finished report.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable explaining their methodology, economic reasoning, calculations, data sources, and conclusions while we work together.

Qualifications

- Strong background in economics
- Professional experience in economic research or analysis
- Strong quantitative and analytical skills
- Experience with Excel and data analysis
- Ability to explain complex economic concepts clearly
- Good research and communication skills
- Experience working with businesses or real-world economic problems is preferred

Compensation

$50–$250+ per hour depending on experience and the project.

Hours will be agreed upon before each project begins. For example, if a project is estimated at 30 hours, we will agree on the scope and maximum approved hours before beginning.

This is a good opportunity for an experienced economist who enjoys research, solving real-world problems, collaboration, and mentoring while working on practical projects.
