- Stay in close contact with our global offices,from colleagues in the US to teams across the APEC region, to integrate local market insights into global models.
Who are you?
- You bring roughly 4 years of solid experience in macro-economic or market analysis. You have a strong affinity for fundamental supply and demand factors. A background in agriculture or broader commodities is a plus.
- You hold a university degree that is heavily data-focused (e.g., Economics, Data Science, Econometrics, or a related quantitative field).
- Advanced mastery of Excel is a must.
- Preferably hands-on programming skills in Python, and experience with libraries like pandas, numpy, and matplotlib/seaborn.
- Next to being fluent in English, you are also curious, open-minded, and eager to collaborate with a small, international team and diverse global stakeholders.
- You live within commuting distance of our Arnhem office and are energized by in-person collaboration, being on-site at least 4 days a week.
- You understand how quantitative models support forecasting, combined with economic intuition.
What we offer
- At Hoogwegt, we offer an environment where entrepreneurship is valued and where you can truly be yourself.
- Numerous opportunities for personal growth and the autonomy to shape and lead your own analytical projects.
- A 37.5-hour work week with a modern approach to health, including on-site sports classes (bootcamp, yoga, running) three times a week.
- An exceptionally attractive pension scheme with high employer contributions and collective insurance arrangements.
