In each of these groups, you’ll have the opportunity to be part of an inclusive, collaborative, and engaging working environment.

WHAT YOU’LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:

You’ll help the firm evaluate complex business questions that drive the firm’s long-term direction and growth opportunities. You’ll tackle these problems by performing research and conducting rigorous analysis using both quantitative and qualitative methods. You’ll use your current strengths to innovate and make recommendations that impact the way we run our business, and you’ll build new skills that help shape the course of your career.

•        Associates excel at managing multiple projects, and are motivated by a desire to learn and an interest in taking on new challenges.

•        In keeping with our firm’s culture, we’re more interested in talent, entrepreneurship, and curiosity than we are in any particular skill or experience.
