About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Analysts are the analytical engine of our project teams.
You will work alongside senior consultants across education, local government, state government, and federal practice areas, supporting engagements from initial research through final client deliverables.
Conduct market research across real estate, demographic, economic, and comparable transaction data to support feasibility studies, portfolio analyses, and highest and best use assessments.
Apply creative and critical thinking to structure ambiguous problems, identify the right questions to ask, and surface insights that aren't obvious from the data alone, including thoughtful use of AI tools to support and accelerate that work.
Build and maintain financial models, including development pro formas, lease comparisons, P3 deal structures, portfolio cost analyses, all under direction of senior team members.
Synthesize findings from multiple data sources into clear summaries that inform client recommendations.
Support due diligence processes: gather, organize, and quality-check data across financial, physical, and market dimensions.
Draft sections of client presentations, reports, memos, and meeting materials, learning to translate technical analysis into clear narrative for executive and governing board audiences.
Prepare materials for client meetings: agendas, talking points, exhibit packages, and follow-up summaries.
Participate in client meetings, working sessions, and site visits alongside senior team members, building your understanding of public sector clients and how advisory engagements are managed.
