**Economic Consultant**
**Auckland**

As a result of growth in the New Zealand/Australian practice, we have a rare opening for an intermediate/senior level economist to join our Auckland office. The successful applicant will be a key member of a growing business, with significant potential for future growth.

The New Zealand team is part of a global network of leading economic and industry experts. The team is involved in high-stakes legal and regulatory proceedings in New Zealand, Australia and Asia, spanning a broad cross section of industries and practice areas. This includes addressing questions such as:

- Would a merger between New Zealand’s two major newspapers substantially lessen competition?
- Is the fuel market competitive?
- What is a reasonable price for accessing regulated infrastructure such as broadband and electricity networks?
- How should water rights be allocated?
- Is the current design of the wholesale electricity market resulting in efficient outcomes?
- What are the economic costs of using different fuels to decarbonise long distance heavy road freight?
- What loss has a party suffered due to a breach of contract?
- How material is the damage that consumers have suffered due to collusive pricing by suppliers?

Our work involves writing independent expert reports that are filed with courts, regulators and policy makers. It is therefore essential that our work is rigorous, technically accurate and independent.

**Your responsibilities**

This is a team-based, multi-task environment that requires precision work that is both qualitative and quantitative, often with tight deadlines. This is an intermediate/senior level role, and therefore your responsibilities will include:

- Managing and mentoring junior staff;
- Managing projects, including liaising directly with clients;
- Providing intellectual thought leadership, both in a project context and as part of business development efforts (e.g. presenting at conferences);
- Taking leadership/ownership of drafting memos, presentations, reports and expert evidence;
- Participating in business development activities;
- Managing large data sets and developing new approaches to collect and visualize data

**What we offer**

NERA provides a challenging and rewarding professional experience with competitive compensation and benefits. You will be working in a collegial and intellectually challenging environment where independent and innovative thought is encouraged and rewarded. We are a small, tightly knit team with a flat structure, so from the outset you will have responsibility and direct interaction with clients, which include large law firms, corporates and regulators. The intention of this position is hire one of the future leaders within our team, so there is excellent potential for personal and professional growth.

We only work on high-stakes and complex issues and disputes, so our work is intellectually rewarding and constantly evolving.

We promote from within, and support both personal and professional growth. Elements of our programme include a comprehensive induction, skills enhancement training sessions, and regular formal performance evaluations.
