What You Will Do:

Many organizations lack a clear view of their data assets, keeping the full value of their data out of reach. Guidehouse delivers end-to-end services, including designing, implementing, and deploying AI solutions and robust data platforms as well as providing advanced analytics and insights. Guidehouse’s tailored solutions optimize operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation.

As a Consultant, you will join Guidehouse’s AI and Data team — a “horizontal” team dedicated to delivering artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced analytics solutions to drive innovation and deliver impactful value across Guidehouse’s Public Sector client segments: Defense and Security, Communities, Energy, and Infrastructure, Financial Services, and Health. The AI and Data team has a sub-team within each segment focused on applying cutting-edge technologies and strategies to address the segment’s most complex and rapidly evolving challenges across a variety of domains. You’ll contribute to high-value initiatives, which may include internal innovation efforts or strategic projects, and gain hands-on experience with modern tools and methodologies. You’ll collaborate with experienced professionals, grow your technical capabilities, and help shape data-driven solutions that matter.

Consultants support project teams both on client engagements (on and off-site) and internal projects. Responsibilities will include client and project management, data and information analysis, solution implementation and generation of project deliverables. As a Consultant, a key function of your role will be to support the development and creation of quality deliverables that support essential project workstreams. You will gather and analyze data, identify gaps and trends, and make recommendations related to baseline performance and structure, as well as established best practices and benchmarks.

We encourage career development and hiring for the long term. As a Consultant, you will follow a clearly defined career path and continue to deepen your specialized industry knowledge and consulting skills. As you develop project management skills and leadership abilities, you will have the opportunity to progress to the Senior Consultant level.
