The Role:

Morning Consult is seeking a Director, Global Economist to serve as a senior subject matter expert at the intersection of economics, geopolitics, and corporate strategy. This role is a rare combination: someone who can explain why wheat prices in the American Midwest are a function of Iranian foreign policy — and make a room full of C-suite executives lean forward.

You will be the intellectual engine behind how Morning Consult's global clients — from multinational corporations to major financial institutions — understand and act on the forces reshaping the world economy. You will advise prospects and clients, develop reproducible analytical frameworks and AI-powered outputs, and build the content and thought leadership that drives Morning Consult's brand in global markets.You should be an expert in a single region of the world outside the United States - ideally EMEA or APAC- and informed about the rest of the world.

This is not a role for pure researchers or policy wonks. The right candidate brings serious academic and professional credentials and knows how to apply them commercially — translating complexity into insight, and insight into action that helps drive business outcomes.
