Job description

About Charles River Associates
Charles River Associates is a leading global consulting firm that provides economic, financial, and business management expertise to major law firms, corporations and governments around the world. CRA advises clients on economic and financial matters pertaining to litigation and regulatory proceedings, and guides corporations through critical business strategy and performance-related issues. Since 1965, clients have engaged CRA for its combination of industry experience and rigorous, fact-based analysis that provide clients with clear, implementable solutions to complex business concerns.
Job Overview
Our Antitrust and Competition Economics practice is a leader in providing economic analysis, advice, and testimony for antitrust and merger cases worldwide. Our work as antitrust experts focuses on rigorous empirical assessments of whether competition in a market has been (or will be) adversely affected, leaving consumers to face higher prices, fewer choices, or stifled innovation. We tailor our analyses to the facts of each case, employing tools such as econometrics, game theory, upward pricing pressure analysis, or merger simulation as needed. Whether before a court or a regulatory agency, CRA consultants set a high standard for the clear communication of sophisticated economic analysis in complex cases.
Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
  • Acting as a primary point of contact for clients and assisting in the development and presentation of client deliverables including expert reports summarizing our opinions, conclusions, and recommendations and third party financial, market and industry data;
  • Working with leading academics and senior practitioners in judicial proceedings to provide economic analyses of mergers and other competition matters before the major competition authorities of the world;
  • Managing the research process, and supervising, training and mentoring junior analysts in a supportive, team-oriented environment;
  • Independently conceptualizing and identifying issues, designing complex economic and financial models to analyze economic and financial data;
  • Programming, model building and/or regression analysis in statistical analysis programs (such as Stata, SAS, R or Python);
  • Ensuring the integrity and accuracy of analyses and opinions.

As most of our work is done in the office, minimal travel is required.
Desired Qualifications
Successful candidates will have a minimum of 8 years' experience managing client relationships and project teams in a consulting environment. Candidates should also have a Ph.D. or ABD in economics, finance, or accounting or a closely allied field, and will have specific expertise in the fields of industrial organization, applied microeconomics, econometrics, labor, intellectual property, pricing, corporate finance, financial accounting or other quantitative areas. Previous experience in teaching, research, or industry is desirable.
What can CRA do for you?
  • Work alongside some of the most respected scholars, specialists, industry experts and regulators in the world.
  • A comprehensive learning and development training program to foster your ongoing professional development and career growth:
    • Core programming on leadership, client development, and coaching talent
    • Quarterly technical training taught by in-house experts and affiliated professors
    • Partnership with Linked-In Learning for on-demand, self-paced coursework
    • Partnership with NITA to support emerging expert witness skills and opportunities
    • Regularly scheduled "open classes" on topics such as presentation skills and giving feedback
  • Mentorship and coaching from an assigned senior staff colleague
  • Opportunities in recruiting, training, corporate sports teams, and volunteer activities in the local community
  • In-house immigration support for foreign nationals and those conducting international business travel
  • Wellness program to promote health and well-being (e.g. nutrition counselling, financial wellbeing seminars, team fitness competitions)
  • Excellent benefits package

To Apply
To be considered for this position, we require the following:
  • Resume - please include current address, personal email and telephone number;
  • Cover letter - please describe your interest in CRA and how this role matches your goals.

Career Growth and Benefits
  • CRA's robust skills development programs, including a commitment to offering training annually through formal and informal programs, encourage you to thrive as an individual and team member. Building on existing analysis and leadership skills, training continues with our Core series, addressing team and client management, as well as becoming a client thought partner and advisor, among other topics. Additional leadership and collaboration opportunities exist through internal firm development activities.
  • We offer a comprehensive total rewards program including a superior benefits package, wellness programming to support physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being, and in-house immigration support for foreign nationals and international business travelers.

Work Location Flexibility
CRA creates a work environment that enables our colleagues to benefit from being together in the office to best deliver on our promise of career growth, mentorship and inclusivity. At the same time, we realize that individuals realize a range of benefits when working from home periodically. We currently ask that individuals spend 3 to 4 day a week on average working in the office (which may include traveling to another CRA office or to a client's location), with specific days determined in coordination with your practice or team.
Our Commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity
