What each role involves (expanded overview)
Deputy Director — Cartels & Trade Abuse
This role supports and often leads investigation streams into cartel behavior, bid-rigging, price-fixing, market allocation, and abuse of dominance. Daily tasks can include:
- Designing investigation plans and evidence matrices
- Conducting dawn-raid preparation support (as required by law), data analysis, and interview frameworks
- Evaluating market structure, concentration metrics (e.g., HHI), and barriers to entry
- Drafting show-cause notices, orders, and recommendations for Commission consideration
- Coordinating with legal, economics, and research teams to ensure procedurally robust and economically sound outcomes
Strong written advocacy and the ability to convert complex evidence into clear, legally defensible findings are crucial.

- Prepare legal opinions, draft agreements/MoUs, and regulatory filings
