This position reports to the Group Executive: Public Policy & External Affairs

Role Purpose

The Regulatory Economist and Data Lead is responsible for transforming Takealot Group’s extensive operational and commercial data into credible policy evidence. The role ensures that all public policy positions are underpinned by robust quantitative analysis, allowing the Group to strengthen its proof points in engagements with government, regulators, Parliamentarian, and the media.

This role sits at the intersection of data science, economics, and public policy, converting internal “big data” into externally persuasive narratives that withstand scrutiny from regulators, economists, and civil society.

Ensure models are:

• Political and economic commentary relevant to digital markets, labour, logistics, and trade.

Deploy AI-enabled monitoring tools to systematically flag emerging references to:

• Likely policy timelines
• Data gaps that need urgent modelling or research

Competitive & Comparative Policy Intelligence

• Track and analyse regulatory and policy developments affecting the platform economy, in South Africa or comparable markets.
• Monitor international regulatory frameworks and case law (e.g. EU Digital Markets Act, platform labour rulings, OECD digital tax discussions).
• Identify global precedents and data points that can be adapted to strengthen Takealot’s local policy positions.
• Provide comparative benchmarking to support submissions, briefing notes, and stakeholder engagements.

Fact-Sheet & Evidence Pack Production

Build and maintain a central Policy Statistics Library, consisting of:

• Pre-approved data points
• Executive-ready charts and infographics
• One-page “leave-behind” factsheets for Ministerial, Parliamentary, and media engagements

Ensure all outputs are:

• Internally consistent and quality-assured.
• Clearly sourced and methodologically transparent.
• Tailored to non-technical audiences without loss of credibility.

Refresh core factsheets regularly to reflect updated data and evolving policy narratives.

Targeted Research & Deep-Dive Analysis

Conduct structured research on specific policy questions as required, such as:

• The impact of fuel levy increases on gig worker earnings
• Employment elasticity under different regulatory scenarios
• Cost-pass-through effects of customs or VAT changes on consumer prices

Support the division in preparing:

• Regulatory submissions.
• Parliamentary briefing notes.
• External consultant terms of reference.

Where appropriate, collaborate with external economists and research institutions to validate assumptions or methodologies.

Ensure that all externally used data is:

• Cleared for public use in coordination with Legal and Risk

Maintain documentation of assumptions, methodologies, and data sources to defend against challenge or rebuttal.

Act as the department’s first line of defence against reputational risk arising from data misuse or misinterpretation.

Requirements:

• Honour’s degree in Economics, Statistics, Data Science, or related quantitative field
• Masters qualification in Economics or Public Policy (advantageous)

Experience:

• 3–5 years’ experience in:
• Economic consulting.
• Data analytics in a policy-relevant environment.
• Research units within banks, think tanks, or regulatory institutions.
•  Exposure to South African public policy or regulatory processes is highly desirable.

Technical Skills

• Advanced SQL and Excel modelling

• Strong grounding in South African macroeconomic and fiscal frameworks
• Ability to work with large, imperfect datasets

Behavioural & Professional Attributes

• High analytical curiosity and attention to detail

• Strong ethical judgment and respect for data integrity
• Ability to translate complex analysis into simple, persuasive insights

The Environment:

• We laugh hard, work harder, and take full ownership of our wins (and learning moments!)
• Teamwork makes the dream work – we're solution-seekers who thrive on collaboration
• Got feedback? Bring it on! We're always hungry for fresh ideas and honest input 🔄
