Do you offer expertise in competition and markets, economic regulation, or a related policy field? Do you want to make a real difference to the lives of consumers?
As a Manager in the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) Markets team you will play a key role in analysing and delivering positive changes in markets, working alongside government departments, regulators and other stakeholders.
About the CMA
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) works to promote competition for the benefit of consumers, both within and outside the UK. Our aim is to make markets work well for consumers, businesses and the economy.
Our Markets function is a core part of the CMA’s work. The Markets team examines markets that do not appear to be working well and uses a range of policy-based and other solutions to introduce positive changes in the interests of consumers, which deliver real impact for people, as seen most recently in our work.
What you will do
As a Manager in the Markets team, you will be responsible for key elements of markets work, including assessing whether markets, policies and regulations are working well, planning and driving markets work and projects forward, supporting the development of evidence-based recommendations and decisions and developing solutions to any issues identified.
What you will need
Experience related to competition and markets, or economic regulation, or in a related policy field is essential, as is experience of managing and delivering successful projects through working effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
You will possess strong analytical and research skills, with an understanding of the policy-making process and how this affects markets and consumers. Good verbal and written communication skills, including an ability to draft a range of documents such as reports and presentations, for a wide variety of audiences, are equally important.
You will also need significant experience of working collaboratively including building and influencing relationships with stakeholders.
What we can offer you
The CMA is a hugely diverse, rewarding and stimulating place to work – an opportunity to work for the public good and to stretch and develop yourself in doing so while also having considerable flexibility when it comes to how and when you work. We offer generous benefits, including an excellent pension scheme with an average employer contribution of 27%, at least 25 days leave (increasing to 30 over five years), and generous maternity/paternity leave provision. You can also take advantage of interest-free season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme.
