Full description
About the work
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 requirement — direct experience and performance on the work sample determine who qualifies.
Point-in-time discipline
Every task is graded on reasoning from the stated cutoff without hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, or material non-public information.
