About Our Team
Secretariat’s PhD economists and experts have been leading economic analysis and supporting court testimony in high-stakes arenas for over 40 years. Our work includes antitrust, intellectual property, and all other intersections of economics, law, and policy. Law firms, government agencies, and corporations trust us to answer complex questions, provide rigorous analysis, and provide insightful testimony. Our firm’s standard is a commitment to integrity and creative, rigorous, and objective analysis.
We are looking for talented new PhDs to join our team! We seek people who thrive on diving into new problems, exhibit strong analytical skills, balance the big picture with deep dives into data and details, are inquisitive and creative, and enjoy collaboration with like-minded individuals from varied backgrounds. We are open to candidates from all economics fields.
Secretariat offers competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and extensive opportunities for professional development in a merit-based environment. Our flexible work model includes options to work in one of our several offices across the U.S. and the option to work entirely remotely (within the U.S.).
Secretariat’s Economics practice represents decades of talent: the combination of Economists Incorporated (founded 1981) and Intensity (founded 2006). We inspire and empower an open, collaborative culture that embraces ongoing professional development, recognition, and diversity.
About Our Antitrust Team
Antitrust investigations and litigation—whether involving proposed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) or allegations of anticompetitive conduct—require clear, expert economic analysis. For decades, Secretariat’s antitrust economists have delivered exactly that. With experience in more than 1,400 antitrust matters across nearly every industry and a collective deal value exceeding $500 billion, our experts are trusted for their clarity and credibility.
When antitrust disputes arise, effective economic testimony is essential. Secretariat’s experts excel at presenting understandable, persuasive analyses to judges, juries, and arbitrators. We provide clear testimony in cases involving price fixing, bid rigging, monopolization, and more. Whether addressing class certification, damage estimation, or competitive harm, our experts integrate rigorous economic reasoning with relevant legal standards, case law, and the unique facts of each case.
Requirements
At Secretariat, we believe in pay transparency and equity. Compensation for this role will be based on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, and location. Further details will be provided during the hiring process.
Pay Transparency
$200,000—$260,000 USD
A rewarding career above all
There are a lot of fine consulting firms out there. But when everything is on the line, it takes a unique combination of skill and savvy to succeed under pressure.
Our culture and people are driven by passion, pride, and performance. Passion for the clients we serve, the work we deliver, and the communities we live in. Pride in our cohesive team recognized for excellence and trusted to perform in the most challenging situations. And our track record of outstanding performance across all of our disciplines speaks for itself.
Our people are motivated to be the best in everything they do – from our approach to making the complex simple to the way we mentor our up-and-coming talent to become trusted experts early in their careers.
