Job summary:


  • The Competition and Markets Authority is seeking an analytical and innovative Business and Financial Adviser to play a key role in their Remedies, Business and Financial Analysis team, providing important insights and analysis that will help remedy harmful competitive effects and improve consumer outcomes

Job description:


The Remedies, Business and Financial Analysis (RBFA) group provides business and financial analysis on our investigations, and leads the development, implementation, monitoring, enforcement and reviews of the remedies we impose to solve the problems we find.

Within this group, you will work closely with economists and legal advisers to provide commercial analysis and insights across merger, market, consumer, subsidies, regulatory and antitrust inquiries.

You will develop your understanding of businesses and their strategies, working to assess their role in the market.

You will also determine and identify information needs, assessing whether market structure, business conduct and subsidy provision are harming competition or generating bad consumer outcomes.

This will involve engaging with companies and other market players to improve understanding of businesses and to gather high quality financial information.


You will interpret and analyse this information effectively, generating clear and compelling outcomes that will be provided as advice for CMA decision-makers.

Once harmful problems are identified, you will play a lead role in determining and defining effective remedies to these problems, working to resolve harmful competitive effects and intervene on behalf of the consumer.


You will be required to demonstrate relevant analytical and interpretive experience, showing key knowledge of business models, accounting and numeracy, paired with an ability to generate insights from complex information.

You will possess well-developed communication skills and sound judgement, experienced in combining your knowledge, evidence and evaluations to provide accurate, expert and professional advice.


Person specification:

Your detailed responsibilities as Business and Financial Adviser will be:
Business Analysis and Understanding Markets

  • Looking at a wide range of markets to understand business strategies and how businesses work. We assess how the parties to our investigations fit into the market, and how the broader market works. Engagement with businesses and asking the right questions is a key part of this.
Determining information needs

  • Identifying and clearly articulating information requirements to test whether market structure, business conduct and subsidy provision are or could be harming competition and generating bad consumer outcomes. This involves meeting companies and other market players to improve our understanding of businesses, drafting information requests and critically reviewing submissions.
Analysis and interpretation

Developing remedies

  • If harmful competitive effects are identified, we design and implement remedies to address those effects, delivering benefits to customers. You have an integral role in developing these remedies.
Communicating and briefing

  • Through verbal, written and presentational skills, sharing the results of our analysis. Issues can range from predation cost tests to assessing profitability. Business processes may need to be explained or remedy solutions developed. Audiences vary so clear communication of reasoning and conclusions in a form that works for a specific audience will be important.
Quality Assurance

  • Ensuring that analysis is well thought through and accurate through review and development of audit trails, including review of work by colleagues.
