About this vacancy

Your role as an area economist: a dynamic blend of finance and area development

No two days are the same as an area economist. You delve deep into the financial and economic aspects of area development, focusing on land and property exploitation, risk analyses, and complex financial issues. Always in connection with broader themes like spatial planning, civil engineering, land policy, and contract formation. You work closely with colleagues and external parties to shape development projects, ensuring that financial strategies align with the ambitions of municipalities, housing corporations, developers, and builders.

A day in your shoes

The day starts at the town hall, where you sit down with the project leader over a cup of coffee. Together, you review the ongoing land exploitations and evaluate various financial scenarios. Next, you meet with a developer to discuss plans for a new residential area and assess whether these align with financial frameworks.

Later in the day, you're at the office, sparring with colleagues from different disciplines. You discuss spatial planning challenges, coordinate technical details, and analyze area characteristics using GIS. In the afternoon, you attend a meeting with spatial economists and project leaders within the municipality, exchanging insights and discussing bottlenecks. You commission a valuation for a land issuance and evaluate it for its worth. With a clear financial overview and concrete recommendations, you wrap up the day – one step closer to successful area development.

As an area economist, you're not just a financial expert; you're also a connector among various stakeholders. You look beyond the numbers and contribute to the sustainable and strategic development of areas.

What we expect from you

Your profile: analytical, proactive, and result-oriented ✔ You leverage your financial and spatial expertise to achieve successful area developments. ✔ You have a sharp analytical perspective, a creative approach, and stand firmly behind your work. ✔ You take initiative and work purposefully towards achieving results. What you bring: 🔘 At least 3 years of experience as a planning economist, area economist, or in a comparable financial position related to area development. 🔘 Knowledge of various calculation systems, both in Excel and municipal systems. 🔘 A completed bachelor's (HBO) or master's (WO) degree in urban planning, civil engineering, architecture, economics, or a related field. 🔘 A persuasive personality and strong communication skills, enabling effective interaction at various levels.
