The role of the Business Analyst is to conduct research and analysis in a project-based environment. Assigned to 1-2 project teams at a time, the Business Analyst will be involved in:

• Conducting primary and secondary research, including telephone and in-person interviews and surveys, and literature/internet searches
• Performing various computer-based analyses to realize project goals; this will require using spreadsheets, simulation modeling software, statistical programs, process mapping tools, etc.
• Developing analytical insights through assumption testing and sensitivity analysis
• Summarizing findings and helping to develop recommendations
• Drafting client presentations

Business Analysts are expected to travel to client sites as necessitated by projects. A typical new-hire Business Analyst profile might be for little or no travel during a short orientation period, and then travel 1-2 days per week on average thereafter, with sporadic 4 or 5-day travel weeks.

We compensate Business Analysts similarly to entry-level positions at much larger consulting firms (entry-level positions at various firms have different titles). We are unusual as a company in that annual bonuses are a significant portion of compensation at all levels, including Business Analyst. We provide a full range of benefits, including health and life insurance, as well as a 401K program with annual fund matching according to company profitability.
