DESCRIPTION

Central Bank Expert — Non-G7 Policy Communication All application steps are reused whenever another role requires the same step, so you never have to upload your resume or take the same interview twice We are building expert-authored forecasting and research data used to evaluate and improve AI models on real macro analysis. Each task asks a practitioner to reason from a fixed evidence cutoff — no hindsight — and document the judgment a strong analyst would have made at that moment. This role covers non-G7 central bank communication. We staff separately by country: a broad global-macro profile is not enough, and we are looking for depth on one specific central bank. What you will do Interpret statements, minutes, speeches and wording changes from a specific non-G7 central bank in their source language Compare current language against prior guidance and prevailing market expectations Assign a calibrated dovish-to-hawkish score and spell out the implications for rates, FX and equities Review model-generated analyses and grade them against your own standard Who we are looking for A former economist or adviser from the relevant central bank, or a senior local rates or FX strategist who covered it through multiple policy cycles Professional fluency in the source language Deep knowledge of that bank's reaction function and communication style, and experience reading it in real time Typically 8+ years of direct experience, or unusually strong evidence of equivalent performance Backgrounds we look at first: the exact central bank, the BIS, the IMF, leading local institutions, top emerging-markets teams at global banks, and established macro funds. Brand-name experience is a strong first-pass signal but is not a hard
