About Our Role

At Fideres we champion fair markets for social justice and individual dignity. Through economic investigations and expert reports, we combat corporate misconduct, ensuring accountability and fostering equitable opportunities for all.

We believe in fair and transparent markets, and we are the only economic consultancy working on the side of the plaintiff, against corporates and financial institutions.

Our cases have included antitrust complaints against Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Finance and Big Ag. Meanwhile our original and innovative investigations into the dumping of sewage and Covid-19 testing have led to national press coverage.

We are looking for an experienced Competition Economist to join our team. This role will manage client relationships and will lead multiple project teams of economic consultants investigating corporate and financial wrongdoing to achieve project goals for those clients.

Key Accountabilities

In this role you will manage a portfolio of economic consulting projects involving competition economics and investigating corporate and financial wrongdoing.

Some notable responsibilities:

  • Overseeing antitrust projects and managing a project team of economic consultants
  • Conducting detailed economic analysis of antitrust allegations as part of the delivery of Fideres’ consulting mandates
  • Writing comprehensive reports that summarize the key findings of our analysis in a simple, succinct manner
  • Proactively managing client relationships
  • Helping to manage the team to ensure innovative ideas are researched and delivered for our project pipeline
  • Presenting and explaining proposals to potential clients
  • Helping to track and allocate resources to achieve business unit goals
  • Coaching the team on Fideres’s processes, writing styles and analytical methodologies
  • Maintain up-to-date records in Fideres’s CRM and Project Management systems

Key Skills and Attributes

The successful candidate will have:

  • Proven experience at a competition agency, in a sector regulator, or in an economic consultancy
  • A PhD in Economics is essential
  • Experience of dealing directly with clients (such as law firms and/or regulators)
  • The ability to communicate effectively on complex issues in simple terms
  • Strong analytical and numerical skills, proficiency in python or R would be desirable
  • Strong project organization skills, able to meet deadlines
  • A high level of integrity with a creative and curious mind
  • An interest in coaching, developing and collaborating with others
  • An appetite for networking and connecting people and problems
