**Job summary**:
**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.

**Job description**:
The CMA Mergers team investigates mergers that could lessen competition, addresses anti-competitive behaviour, and protects consumers from unfair practices. Our high-profile investigations are split into two phases. In phase 1 merger cases Principal Case Officers ensure that any substantive issues are investigated fully, evidence is presented accurately, decision reasoning is explained clearly, and merger investigations run smoothly. In phase 2 merger cases, Principal Case Officers primarily coordinate and project manage the work of large multi-disciplinary teams. In this role, Principal Case Officers can also contribute to the analysis of substantive features of those cases. Across both phases our work spans across all economic sectors, offering you a unique perspective on how businesses operate and compete.

As a Principal Case Officer, you can also contribute to CMA practices, policy, and know-how, further developing your professional expertise in areas that are of interest to you. Working in diverse teams of varying seniorities, you will learn directly from experts in their fields, who are equally passionate about implementing competition law for the public good.

We deeply care about your career development. Around sixty per cent of our Assistant Directors come from Principal Case Officer roles. Other former Principal Case Officers have progressed to take up legal posts in the CMA Legal service and private practice; as well as other professional roles across the Civil service and private sector.

**About you**

**Key Responsibilities**

**Delivery**:

- Lead and/or project manage merger cases on a day-to-day basis, liaising with colleagues to ensure adherence to the relevant timetables and statutory deadlines. Develop influential relationships with key internal and external stakeholders and act as a lead point of contact for external parties.
- Prepare and finalise a wide range of internal
- and external-facing documents required during the CMA’s merger investigations, including reports, working papers and decisions. In preparing these documents, PCOs must ensure they are consistent with legislation, published CMA guidance, established practice of the CMA, and best practice worldwide.
- Lead contributions to and, as appropriate, chair internal and external meetings in phase 1 merger cases. When project managing a phase 2 merger case, lead the organisational requirements to ensure the timely and successful outcome of the case project.
- Identify and proactively manage risks, taking action where necessary and escalating as appropriate.

**Analysis**:

- Analyse critically the body of factual, legal, economic and other evidence in phase 1 merger cases. This often involves complex legal and economic issues, which a PCO must understand and discuss in internal and external meetings where the outcome of the case is under review. Analyse and process information and data received by the case team in phase 2 merger cases.
- Supported by the Mergers management team, work with economists, lawyers and financial analysts to ensure that decisions are based on accurate, well-reasoned and evidence-based analysis.

**Leadership**:

- Manage the contributions of other team members in a way that makes the most of their specialist skills, knowledge and abilities.
- Act as staff manager, as required, liaising with work managers to monitor work allocation, assisting in developing colleagues through performance management and identifying training needs.
- Encourage a respectful working environment that promotes equality, diversity, and inclusiveness.

**Other work to assist the Mergers team**:

- Assist in the development of new practices and know-how within the wider Mergers team.
- Contribute, and encourage others to contribute, to the achievement of the CMA’s broader policy objectives and initiatives.

**Person specification**:

- A proven track record of working in merger control, competition enforcement or another regulatory field, for example as a lawyer, economist or project manager (**Lead criteria**).
- Excellent project management skills in a legal or regulatory environment, including successfully delivering projects within challenging timefram
