**Job summary**:
Are you looking to further your career in an intellectually stimulating role where your actions will directly influence the competitive landscape of the UK’s economy?

Join the Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) Mergers team as a Case Officer and play a key role in ensuring the successful delivery of merger investigations.

**About the CMA**

We help people, businesses, and the UK economy by promoting competitive markets and tackling unfair behaviour. Our work is wide ranging, ambitious and often new and challenging.

The CMA’s Mergers team investigates UK qualifying mergers that could lessen competition. We investigate mergers in all economic sectors, from finance to telecommunications or digital markets, addressing anti-competitive behaviour, and protecting consumers from unfair practices.

You will provide administrative support to case teams, undertaking a range of administrative duties including liaising with affected businesses and consumers, drafting and logging correspondence, preparing summaries of third-party responses to market questionnaires and undertaking a range of organisational tasks.

You will assist case teams with assessments during merger investigations, analysing key information that will inform the team's understanding. Using your strong written and oral communication skills, you will contribute to discussions on the relevant issues of a merger, investigating and evaluating potential sources of information, and identifying any legal, operational, and financial risks.

In addition to case work, you will also help develop our institutional practices, policy, and know-how, contributing to the continuing improvement and updating of the internal case management system, as well as the CMA’s decisional precedent database and case web pages.

- Evidence of strong project management, administrative and organisational skills, including experience of using organisational systems and procedures for case or document management, and the ability to prioritise work to meet tight deadlines **[lead criteria**].
- Evidence of proven research and analysis skills, with experience of gathering, analysing, summarising and presenting legal, financial and business information [**lead criteria**].
- Demonstrable knowledge of or experience in merger control, competition law, or regulation. This can be demonstrable by a legal, economic or regulatory qualification OR relevant experience of using these skills in a professional, competition, or regulatory context.
- Evidence of strong oral and written communication skills, with experience of drafting and producing a range of documents tailored to the needs of different audiences in a timely manner.
- Evidence of working collaboratively with others, including through working as part of a team and managing relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

- Working Together
- Delivering at Pace
- Making Effective Decisions
- Communicating and Influencing
