POSITION OVERVIEW

BDC's Economic Research team is looking for a curious and driven Economist to help generate insights that support Canadian entrepreneurs and inform strategic decision-making across the organization.

As an Economist, you will lead and contribute to research projects focused on small and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurship, and key economic trends shaping Canada's business environment. You will transform complex information into actionable insights for senior leaders, policymakers, clients, and external stakeholders.

Working in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, you will partner with teams across BDC to identify emerging issues, answer strategic questions, and help position BDC as a trusted source of economic and entrepreneurial intelligence.

CHALLENGES TO BE MET

In this role, you will:

  • Lead research projects on a wide range of economic, business, and entrepreneurial topics, from research design and methodology through analysis, reporting, and presentation of findings.
  • Monitor economic and financial developments affecting small businesses, including trends in business financing, investment decisions, and entrepreneurial behaviour.
  • Prepare briefing notes, presentations, and analyses on topics such as economic indicators, industry trends, geopolitical developments, and opportunities for Canadian businesses.
  • Partner proactively with business lines and corporate functions to understand their needs and deliver high-value economic insights and analysis.
  • Communicate research findings to internal and external audiences through reports, presentations, webinars, media opportunities, and stakeholder engagements.
  • Act as a thought leader by identifying emerging challenges and opportunities facing Canadian entrepreneurs and providing evidence-based perspectives on important business issues.
  • Thrive in an agile environment where priorities evolve quickly and high-quality deliverables are produced under tight timelines.
  • Continuously improve ways of working by leveraging data, automation, artificial intelligence, and innovative analytical approaches to increase efficiency and impact.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

If you can answer "yes" to most of the following questions, we'd love to hear from you:

  • Do you hold a Master's degree in Economics?
  • Do you have at least five years of experience conducting economic research, applied economic analysis, or producing research publications for diverse audiences?
  • Do you have a strong interest in communicating economic insights and making complex information accessible and impactful?
  • Do you possess strong analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, along with a solid understanding of Canadian industries and business dynamics?
  • Do you have experience preparing executive-level briefing notes, reports, and presentations?
  • Are you comfortable framing research questions and identifying analytical solutions when faced with ambiguous or evolving business needs?
  • Do you have experience with quantitative research methodologies and data analysis? Experience with survey-based research would be considered an asset.
  • Are you proficient in analytical and programming tools such as R, Python, SQL, or similar technologies?
  • Are you bilingual in English and French, both written and spoken?
  • Are you comfortable presenting your work and defending your conclusions before internal and external audiences?

WHY JOIN THE ECONOMIC RESEARCH TEAM?

The Economic Research team plays a unique role within BDC. We provide evidence-based insights that influence strategic decisions, contribute to public policy discussions, and help Canadian entrepreneurs navigate an increasingly complex business environment.

You will have the opportunity to work on meaningful research, collaborate with experts across Canada, engage with senior leaders, and help shape BDC's perspective on the issues that matter most to entrepreneurs.

If you are passionate about economic research and want your work to have a meaningful impact on the future of Canadian entrepreneurship, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
