Original job description

Halifax Partnership is Halifax's public-private economic development organization. The Partnership drives and accelerates economic growth by selling and marketing Halifax to the world to attract business, talent, and investment, helping businesses reach their full potential, and tracking and reporting Halifax's economic progress.

The Partnership delivers an investment attraction program targeting expanding national and international firms in key growth sectors and supports existing businesses in Halifax Regional Municipality to succeed and grow.

Each year the Partnership produces The Halifax Index, which provides a wide-ranging overview of economic and social metrics for the Halifax Regional Municipality. Another major recent focus has been The Productivity Puzzle initiative, which has included more policy analysis work.

About the Role

Reporting to the Chief Economist, the Economic Development Analyst will support the Partnership's efforts to gather, analyze, and present information on the Halifax economy and conduct research on behalf of the outward-facing investment attraction team.

Primary tasks include developing materials for internal colleagues to help them identify and prioritize investment attraction targets, creating materials for external use to make the case for investing in Halifax, and assisting with the annual Halifax Index and Productivity Puzzle events and materials. This position will also support the Partnership's Economic Research and Investment Attraction teams with other day-to-day activities, ranging from data compilation to assistance with sales outreach and lead nurturing to economic policy research and analysis.

Responsibilties

Gathering, manipulating, and analyzing economic data.
Clearly and concisely communicating economic data through writing and graphics (charts, tables, etc.) - this could include contributions to the Halifax Index and Productivity Puzzle materials.
Identifying and qualifying leads in target markets through resources such as LinkedIn, Crunchbase, customized lead lists, and other sources.
Inputting data into Salesforce to monitor and track the FDI sales funnel.
Conducting pre-meeting research and creating targeted content to support pitch presentations for sales meetings in coordination with other business units, including Marketing and Research.
Scheduling and coordinating meetings in priority FDI markets.
Conducting post-meeting analysis with the Business Attraction team, gathering relevant information for prospective clients, including developing customized reports for companies evaluating expansion into Halifax, in coordination with the Research and Marketing teams.
Conducting research on Halifax Partnership's key sectors, geographic locations, and events/trade shows for the team.
Preparing background documents for business attraction events.
Conducting research and competitive intelligence on companies and writing company profiles, both independently and with other team members and consulting organizations.
Providing an economist's viewpoint on questions and policy issues.

Qualifications

Education

A degree in economics, business, marketing, or another related discipline.

Experience

Experience conducting economic/market research and analysis; a background in a business or sales environment would be helpful but is not required.

Skills

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to locate, retrieve, manipulate, and analyze economic data.
Ability to effectively communicate information using graphics (charts, tables, etc.).
Ability to collaborate with partners across multiple organizations and community groups.
Knowledge and understanding of industry sectors in Halifax and Nova Scotia.
Ability to work both independently and as part of a team to meet organizational objectives.
Superior time management and organizational skills, with the ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work independently, are a must.
Excellent follow-up skills.
Superior attention to detail.
Proficiency in Microsoft products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is required.
Proficiency in CRM/database tools (especially Salesforce) is considered an asset.

Work With Us

A total compensation package that includes a competitive salary and a hybrid workplace (three days working with your colleagues in the office, with the option to work remotely for the other two days).

A welcoming workplace where everyone belongs. Halifax Partnership is committed to fostering a culture of belonging, grounded in the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, especially African Nova Scotians, Indigenous peoples (especially Mi'kmaq), women, persons with a disability, racialized persons and 2SLGBTQ+ and/or gender and sexually diverse individuals.
