About this role

A previously live vacancy (Ref. I0100007) for 2 Investigators in the Commission's Cartels Division, which investigates and prosecutes prohibited cartel conduct under section 4(1)(b) of the Competition Act and administers the Corporate Leniency Policy. Re-checked 18 August 2026: this role no longer appears on the Commission's portal, which currently lists only a single generic "Internship Programme - 6 Months" vacancy (Ref. I1000001). Monitor the portal for the next Cartels Division opening; the Commission's vacancies rotate between divisions.
