·         Self-awareness of both strengths and areas for growth and development

·         Ability to work with others, balanced with an ability to work independently, to achieve an outcome. (example: experience on a project team, contributing individual skills/capabilities as part of a larger initiative)

·         Willingness to openly solicit, receive and give feedback among team members, project managers and others who are stakeholders in the success of a project.

Core Responsibilities:

Note, core responsibilities are representative and may vary slightly between Analyst, Senior Analyst and Intern

·         Engaging with a project team and its leader to learn quickly and understand project outcomes, work plan & milestones, individual expectations, and the roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities pertinent to the project.

·         Becoming a “knowledge expert” by thoroughly evaluating the challenges and opportunities associated with the interpretation of primary and secondary data.

·         Synthesizing, analyzing, and presenting primary and secondary market research to support client deliverables.  When appropriate, take the lead in a meeting to present primary research.

·         Finding meaning in the knowledge/data that is not readily apparent – the ability to ask the “next question” and discover answers beyond the obvious.

·         Ensuring the development of near client-ready deliverables (discussion guides, presentation decks, etc.) with appropriate manager/team guidance; contributing to the development of the final product.

·         Communicating internally and externally, as appropriate or as requested, regarding project updates, critical issues (e.g., resource constraints, timelines, milestones), new insights, and questions to clarify and maintain alignment of work with client needs.

·         Collaborating effectively with a project team, and being open to new perspectives, while advocating one’s viewpoint, appreciating the thinking of the group, and demonstrating and ability to align on an agreed solution.
