Skills/profile sought:
  • Ph.D. in economics from a leading university, ideally with a focus on industrial organisation or applied econometrics or Master's/Bachelor's in economics and several years of experience in competition economics (either from an economic consultancy, competition authority, or regulator)
  • Highly analytical
  • Ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients
  • Dedication to high quality and accurate work
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Independent worker and team player
  • Good project and people management skills
  • Strong Stata and Excel skills desirable
  • Fluency in English
Benefits of pursuing a career with Compass Lexecon:
  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • A wide variety of interesting and challenging projects
  • An international team with a broad range of backgrounds and experience
  • A blend of professional and academic environments
  • The opportunity to work with top law firms, corporations, government bodies and academics
  • A very steep learning curve, coupled with a supportive and collaborative team
  • Opportunities for training such as secondments, office rotations, internal seminars, and conferences
  • The opportunity to take on a lot of responsibility and contribute from day one
