Managing Economist

We do Consulting Differently

BRG is a different kind of consulting firm, one that makes intelligence work by combining data analysis with extensive industry experience, creative perspectives with deep business knowledge, and big‑picture thinking to help our clients solve complex litigation problems. With this, your experience at BRG will differ from the average consulting firm. We are committed to developing recent PhD candidates in house through senior staff and expert mentoring and training programs, administered by our learning and development team.

Our consultants benefit from working in a highly collaborative office setting throughout our offices in Boston, NYC, Washington, DC, Chicago, Emeryville, and Los Angeles. Our expectation is that consultants are in the office at least one day a week to collaborate with their teams and experts.

Recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Management Consulting Firms, we have ranked as a Top Economics Consultancy by Global Competitiveness Review for the eleventh consecutive year.

BRG provides independent advice, data analytics, authoritative studies, expert testimony, investigations, and regulatory and dispute consulting to Fortune 500 corporations, financial institutions, government agencies, major law firms, and regulatory bodies worldwide. We advise across a wide range of disciplines, including antitrust, competition, complex damages, finance, healthcare, intellectual property, restructuring, valuation, and workforce issues. In addition, the firm assists clients in major industry sectors with compliance, business process improvement, and strategy consulting.

As an experienced or newly minted PhD, you will have an opportunity to be part of a team that provides independent and sound advice to help clients solve their most complex issues.

BRG’s Economics Disputes & Investigations community has consistently grown year over year. With that growth comes new opportunities for people interested in becoming experts in their field and solving complex litigation and consulting matters. Our PhDs address real‑world applied economics questions in antitrust, intellectual property, finance & securities, labor and employment, and international arbitration. This position requires a highly motivated problem solver with robust analytical ability, strong organizational and writing skills, and a desire to collaborate as an integral part of our project teams.

The work will involve both execution and oversight of engagement work streams that may be either quantitative or qualitative, with responsibilities to include design of economic, statistical, and financial analysis; modeling of financial data and markets; management of existing client relationships; development and presentation of client deliverables; management of junior staff; quality control; industry research; and business expansion.

• Ph.D. degree in Economics with a focus in I/O (Industrial Organization) from a reputable university;
• One to three (1‑3) years of experience applying econometric modeling techniques; experience in antitrust, financial economics, securities, or capital markets is beneficial;
