Compass Lexecon is one of the world’s leading economic consultancy firms. Our European Practices provide economic advice on competition policy, economic and financial regulation, public policy and the assessment of damages in complex disputes. We work on some of the most high-profile cases before the European Commission, the General Court and national competition authorities, regulators and courts.
Compass Lexecon is recruiting a Senior Data Scientist to join the Data team, which is part of the broader Research Team. Data is a core part of every project at Compass Lexecon and turning that data into compelling empirical analysis is fundamental to what we do. With increasing amounts of data being generated, there are exciting opportunities to apply tools from data science, machine learning, and data engineering to the interesting policy and competition questions that arise in our work.
The team aims to (a) advance our thought leadership in the industry by introducing new tools and techniques to address challenges encountered in economic consulting, bringing Compass Lexecon to the forefront of data analytics, and (b) broaden and deepen all Compass Lexecon economists’ specialist skillsets to offer our clients the most effective, creative and cutting-edge analysis and advice. In doing so, we aim to push the frontier of how data is used to shape markets in some of the world’s most important industries.
Senior Data Scientists join us after four years of work experience in data science. You will be based in either our Berlin or London offices and will work closely with other data scientists located across our European offices. Please indicate in your cover letter your preferred office.
