DOJ Job Opening: Competition Advocacy Specialist
It is job opening week at Antitrust Review! The Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice is looking for a “Competition Advocacy Specialist.” According to the government’s website:
In addition to these traditional law-enforcement roles, the Division also engages in “competition advocacy” through presentations to and communications with other federal agencies, Congress, state legislatures and other governmental entities. Such advocacy may, for example, explain to a government entity why a proposed law or regulation designed purportedly to help consumers might in fact harm competition and thereby harm consumers. The Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice is seeking a highly motivated and dynamic individual to help develop and implement a comprehensive plan for advocating for policies that further and protect market competition. The individual must have strong leadership, communications and writing experience. The individual may be expected to make presentations to large groups on competition-related issues; to explain, defend and present agency positions on important antitrust programs; to formulate and execute strategic plans; and to develop graphic presentations.
The position pays between $93,822 and $143,471 and ”is a competitive TERM position not to exceed 2 Years, which may be renewable up to a total of four years as determined by the agency, subject to a one year trial period.” As before, if you take the job after reading about it here, you owe us a (good, imported) beer.
