**About the Role**

Analysts and Senior Analysts are individuals on the first or second leg of their career journey. They play an integral role on our consulting projects by providing research and analysis, client-ready documents and presentations for team projects. Importantly, we don’t hide our Analysts in a back room. This is a client-facing role with lots of liaising with clients regarding project work.
