About the role

  • As a Macro Research Analyst at xAI, you will play a critical role in analyzing global economic forces and translating complex macroeconomic dynamics into actionable insights.
  • You will track and interpret key economic indicators across regions, assess the implications of monetary and fiscal policy decisions, and evaluate how macro trends shape financial markets and risk conditions.
  • You will build forecasts and scenario analyses to understand how shifts in growth, inflation, interest rates, currencies, commodities, and geopolitics may affect asset prices and broader market regimes.
  • Your work will inform top-down investment views and risk assessments, supporting global macro strategies driven by economic fundamentals rather than individual company analysis.
  • You are expected to be hands-on, proactive, and able to communicate ideas clearly and concisely to a highly technical and motivated team.

Requirements

  • Strong academic background in economics, finance, mathematics, statistics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Demonstrated experience in macroeconomic research, global macro investing, economic policy analysis, or a closely related role.
  • Deep understanding of macroeconomic indicators and frameworks, including growth, inflation, labor markets, monetary and fiscal policy, exchange rates, commodities, and geopolitical dynamics.
  • Experience building and interpreting economic models, forecasts, and scenario analyses to assess market and policy outcomes.
  • Ability to synthesize large and complex data sets into clear, structured insights and actionable conclusions.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex economic concepts concisely to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • High level of intellectual curiosity and comfort working with uncertainty, incomplete information, and competing hypotheses.
  • Self-directed, detail-oriented, and capable of operating effectively in a flat organizational structure with minimal oversight.
  • Proven ability to prioritize effectively, manage multiple research streams, and deliver high-quality work under time constraints.
