**About Charles River Associates**
**Charles River Associates** is a leading global consulting firm that offers economic, financial, and strategic expertise to major law firms, corporations, and governments around the world. For nearly 60 years, CRA experts have combined rigorous cutting-edge research, state-of-the-art methodology, and proven experience to address our clients’ most complex challenges.
CRA's **European Competition practice** specialises in providing economic advice on matters of competition policy and regulation. We assist firms and their legal advisors in all types of competition proceedings before competition authorities and courts: mergers and acquisitions, abuse of dominance allegations, cartels, restrictive commercial agreements, market investigations, litigation and disputes, intellectual property or state aid. We also provide advice to regulatory authorities in similar matters. We have played a key role in many cases that have shaped European competition policy in recent years: from aerospace to software, and manufacturing to transportation. More recently, we have been at the forefront of economic thinking in antitrust investigations and regulation in the tech sector.
**Position Overview**
The Consulting Associate position is the entry-level position for applicants with a postgraduate qualification in economics and up to three years of experience. Consulting Associates work closely with senior consultants, scholars and industry experts on project teams, and will have the opportunity to immediately work on some of the largest, high-profile and most significant competition cases in Europe, providing conceptual and practice input to projects. A typical Consulting Associate would:
- Identify potential issues and conduct analyses that can be used to illustrate economic arguments;
- Assemble compelling evidence from data and research that support our expert opinions and business recommendations;
- Program, build models and/or perform regression analyses in statistical analysis programs (such as Stata, Python, R), including large data projects requiring use of cloud computing;
- Assist in the development and presentation of client deliverables, including expert reports and white papers summarising opinions, conclusions, and recommendations using financial, market, industry or client-proprietary data;
- Assemble compelling evidence and identify useful analyses from data and research that illustrate economic arguments and support expert opinions and business recommendations;
- Interact with clients and communicate complicated economic concepts and arguments to non-experts in an understandable, accessible manner;
- Ensure the integrity and accuracy of analyses and opinions; and
- Participate in practice-building activities (training, recruiting, publication, expertise sharing, etc.).
**Desired Qualifications**
- Strong first degree in economics and a post-graduate qualification (MSc/MPhil) in economics from a well-regarded institution, with a strong foundation in microeconomics, preferably with a specialism in industrial economics;
- Up to 3 years of relevant work experience, within consulting, business, or with a competition authority preferred;
- High degree of numeracy and some comfort with data manipulation is essential, familiarity with econometric techniques is desirable;
- Exceptional written and oral communication skills;
- Demonstrated high level of initiative and leadership;
- Strong teamwork and collaboration capabilities;
- Excellent time management and task prioritization skills.
