Competition Economist (Assistant Director/Director) - competitive salary - London, United Kingdom (hybrid)

We’re supporting a leading international economics consultancy as they seek to appoint a Senior Economist to strengthen the growing competition practice. The team is recognised for its rigorous analysis and its role in guiding clients through complex antitrust and competition challenges across multiple markets and jurisdictions.

This position offers an exceptional platform for an accomplished economist to take on significant casework, collaborate with established specialists, and contribute meaningfully to the continued expansion of the practice.

Role

As a senior member of the competition team, you’ll work on technically demanding merger and antitrust matters while playing an important part in client engagement and strategic development. The role blends hands‑on analytical delivery with leadership responsibilities and provides the scope to influence the direction of the group as it scales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and shape the economic analysis underpinning major competition and antitrust assignments
  • Oversee project teams, ensuring robust methodology, clear outputs, and smooth delivery
  • Produce well‑structured client reports and present insights with clarity and confidence
  • Cultivate strong, long‑term relationships with clients and external partners
  • Mentor and support junior colleagues, contributing to capability‑building across the team
  • Drive business development activity, contributing your existing client relationships and expanding a personal book of business
  • Provide strategic input to strengthen and grow the competition offering

Key Skills

  • Master’s degree or higher in Economics
  • Established track record in economic consulting or within a competition authority
  • Strong technical toolkit, with proficiency in analytical and empirical methods (e.g., Python, R, Stata, Excel)
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects and guide multidisciplinary teams
  • Established book of business or commercial mindset with proven business development contributions and the ability to leverage
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to translate economic evidence for diverse audiences
  • Competitive compensation package with performance‑linked bonus
  • Hybrid working and a supportive, collaborative environment
  • Direct involvement in high‑profile competition matters across Europe
  • Clear pathways for progression, influence, and leadership within a respected practice

This is a standout opportunity for a seasoned economist who wants to make an impact both through high‑quality casework and by helping to grow a thriving competition practice.

If you're interested in learning more about this opportunity, please send your CV to zward@chisquare-group.com, and we will find a time to talk further.
