**Job summary**:

- At the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), economics is at the heart of everything we do. We tackle high-profile cases, analyse potential harm to competition, champion the consumer and offer intellectual leadership. As an
- **Economics Adviser**, you will join a strong, diverse team of economists, working in a collaborative, collegiate atmosphere to manage economic input into a diverse range of cases, including investigations into mergers and markets, competition and consumer enforcement, and regulatory appeals. Recent cases in which economists played a critical role include the Facebook/Giphy and JD Sports/Footasylum merger inquiries and the children's social care and the mobile ecosystems market studies.**Job description**:
Since the UK has left the EU, our role has become even more important as the diversity, number, and complexity of the cases we work on has increased, presenting exciting opportunities for motivated economists to further build our capability in this critical field. The scope of our work has also increased as the CMA has become responsible for the Office for the Internal Market and the Subsidy Advice Unit, and due to its ongoing work in digital markets.

With the opportunity to work flexibly across the full range of our projects, or to specialise in certain areas, you will be the lead economist on some cases, and lead on a particular area of analysis in more complex cases. You will be responsible for carrying out and/or supervising economic analysis relevant to the project, including presenting results and providing economic advice to colleagues across different professions and decision makers. You will have opportunities to manage and develop others, and to contribute to the development of the CMA’s economics capability. You will be working in an environment with autonomy, responsibility and direct access to key decision makers.

We are looking for committed economists with practical work experience in the economic analysis of markets or applied microeconomics. A good understanding of industrial organisation and competition economics will be an advantage. The ability to write clearly and to present to non-technical audiences in a way that engages, informs and drives decision-making, is essential.

If you’re looking for a role that combines intellectual challenge with excellent opportunities for career development, we’d like to hear from you.

The CMA prides itself on being a great place to work and strives to ensure that staff have the opportunity to grow and expand their skills portfolio. As well as being a hugely rewarding, diverse and stimulating place to work, you will have an opportunity to work for the public good and to stretch and develop yourself while doing so.

**Person specification**:
Key responsibilities will include the following:

- Working with Assistant Directors, determine the key areas for investigation and the economic analysis required to assess them. Develop the key questions which will inform the direction of the project; decide on and gather appropriate evidence (including drafting information requests and survey questionnaires); and identify how the economic analysis contributes to the overall assessment and approach to be taken in a project.
- Plan and manage the delivery of the economic analysis on projects or workstreams. Provide a detailed specification of the economic analysis to be undertaken and identify the resources required to deliver it; agree timetables for delivery and decide on the allocation of work within the economist team; monitor progress and review the work plan as the case develops; and ensure that the economic analysis is delivered on time.
- Ensure that the economic analysis is delivered to a high standard. Critically assess and interpret the evidence available and the weight that can be attached to it; identify economic risks and propose mitigations for them; present analysis clearly and accurately both orally and in writing (in particular by drafting substantial sections of published reports); and review and provide constructive feedback on work produced by colleagues.
- Communicate effectively with the project team, with others across the CMA (including senior management) and external stakeholders (including parties to the investigation/inquiry, government departments and consumer groups). Ensure that managers are kept abreast of relevant analysis and their attention is drawn to matters in which they would want to be informed/ involved; and establish
