Data Applications Analyst
OECD
Paris
Company Description The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting. The Economics Department (ECO) aims at enhancing economic performance in Member and non-Member countries through sound and innovative policy advice with a view to seeking an inclusive and durable increase in living standards. It deals with a wide array of policy areas combining macro-economic management, with a strong emphasis on structural policy issues to address policy objectives covering material well-being, social concerns and green aspirations. Its policy advice is derived from a variety of sources such as country surveillance, cross-country benchmarking and evidence derived from empirical research. Much of the Department's policy analysis and advice is provided as input to committee-based peer review and multilateral surveillance processes and contributes to the overall OECD mission. ECO currently employs approximately 170 staff members who support work across a broad range of economic policy areas to ensure impact of the OECD economic policy work in the international governance architecture. The Department interacts closely with other OECD Directorates, as well as with academic, civil, and business organisations. You can watch our insights into the Economics Department of the OECD here .

- Apply domain knowledge in statistics and economics to engage constructively with senior policy analysts and economists, ensuring solutions meet substantive research and analytical needs.
- Support knowledge sharing and capacity-building through internal and external training initiatives, including documentation, seminars, and learning modules.
- Prepare, synthesize, and present ECO's analytical work and data applications to internal and external stakeholders, ensuring complex information is conveyed clearly and effectively to diverse audiences to ensure accessibility, clarity and impact.
