 Job Opportunity:
 
Full-time, Analyst position for a boutique strategy consulting firm located in downtown Seattle.

New hires go through a structured initial training process that lasts several weeks and is tweaked and tailored to each individual. You'll have several sit-downs with our Principals and Partners, and our open door policy means there is ample opportunity to ask questions and learn from Day One.

New Analysts are paired with more experienced employees for their first few projects, where they learn about the project lifecycle, client communications, and are responsible for discrete pieces of work.

Soon enough, you will have end-to-end ownership of your own projects! This accelerated level of responsibility is something many do not experience in such an early stage of their careers versus other firms.
