Remote | Central Bank Expert — Non-G7 Policy Communication — $150–$250/hour

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced central-bank economists, policy advisers, and senior local rates or FX strategists with deep expertise in a specific non-G7 central bank to contribute to advanced macroeconomic forecasting and AI evaluation projects.

Selected professionals will interpret central-bank communications in their original language, compare new guidance against prior policy signals and market expectations, assess implications for rates, FX, and equities, and evaluate AI-generated macro analysis. This role requires substantial country-specific expertise; broad global-macro experience without deep familiarity with a particular central bank is not sufficient.

Key Responsibilities

Central Bank Communication Analysis

• Interpret policy statements, meeting minutes, speeches, and official communications
• Analyse materials directly in the relevant central bank's source language
• Identify meaningful wording changes and shifts in policy communication
• Distinguish substantive policy signals from routine language variation
• Apply detailed knowledge of the institution's communication conventions

Policy Guidance & Reaction Function

• Compare current communications with prior policy guidance
• Assess developments against prevailing market expectations
• Analyse how new information fits the central bank's established reaction function
• Identify changes in emphasis around inflation, growth, employment, financial conditions, or other relevant factors
• Explain how institutional behaviour has evolved across multiple policy cycles

Rates, FX & Market Implications

• Assess the direction and strength of policy signals using calibrated analytical frameworks
• Explain implications for local interest rates and yield expectations
• Analyse potential transmission to foreign-exchange markets
• Evaluate relevant implications for domestic equities where appropriate
• Document the economic mechanism connecting policy communication with expected market effects

Point-in-Time Macro Analysis

• Perform analysis using only information available at the stated evidence cutoff
• Reconstruct the judgment a strong practitioner could have made at that moment
• Avoid hindsight and information released after the specified cutoff
• Separate observable policy communication from analytical assumptions and expectations
• Produce clear, structured reasoning suitable for repeatable evaluation

AI Evaluation & Research Quality

• Review model-generated central-bank and macroeconomic analyses
• Compare outputs against expert-authored reference assessments
• Identify missed policy signals, weak interpretations, or unsupported market conclusions
• Evaluate whether reasoning accurately reflects the relevant central bank's communication style
• Provide structured feedback supporting consistent macroeconomic model evaluation

Ideal Profile

• Former economist or policy adviser from the relevant non-G7 central bank, or senior local rates or FX strategist with equivalent expertise
• Deep specialisation in one specific central bank rather than broad global-macro coverage alone
• Professional fluency in the institution's source language
• Strong knowledge of the central bank's reaction function and communication style
• Experience interpreting policy statements, minutes, speeches, and guidance in real time
• Typically 8+ years of directly relevant professional experience, or substantial equivalent experience
• Experience spanning multiple monetary-policy cycles
• Strong understanding of local rates, FX, and macro-financial transmission
• Ability to compare official communication with prevailing market expectations
• Background at a central bank, leading local institution, international financial institution, global-bank emerging-markets team, or established macro fund is highly relevant
• Strong written communication and ability to document analytical reasoning precisely
• Ability to operate under strict point-in-time information constraints
• Brand-name institutional experience is valuable but not required where direct expertise and work quality are strong

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• Compensation: $150–$250/hour
• Work will focus on a specific non-G7 central bank rather than general global-macro coverage
• Assignments may involve statements, minutes, speeches, policy guidance, rates, FX, equities, and market-expectation analysis
• Professional fluency in the relevant source language is required
• All tasks must be completed using only information available at the specified evidence cutoff
• Hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, and material non-public information must not be used
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on project needs and performance
• Payments are made weekly through Stripe or Wise based on services rendered
• H1-B and STEM OPT candidates cannot currently be supported
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, central bank, institution, fund, or other third party
