Macro Economist

About the team you are joining The Macro Economist, will report to the Assistant Director, Industry Analysis. The Industry Analysis unit is part of the Sustainability and Economics Division which mission is to strive for air transportation’s financial and environmental sustainability. This is a dynamic Division in an effervescent field, where we rely on our analytical strengths and privileged access to airline data to produce stellar research and analysis and provide thought leadership for our industry. We integrate sustainability in all our thinking and endeavors. The Macro Economist will produce economic research and provide support primarily to the Macro-economic work stream in the Industry Analysis unit, while shouldering additional responsibilities in that unit and contributing to other work streams in the Division. The Macro Economist is expected to deliver presentations as well as practical support to IATA’s internal and external stakeholders, including to regulators. These interactions rely on the quality of our research, programs, and solutions to help influence the policy agenda and provide cost-effective solutions for our airline members. Strong collaboration is expected across the team, the Division, and IATA.
