Business Analyst

Business Analyst  

The Company:

Censeo Consulting Group is a top Washington D.C. based management consulting firm dedicated to helping public sector and non-profit clients build operational excellence, deliver better outcomes, and lower cost. We take a personalized approach to strategic consulting to solve our clients’ most complex problems and build operational excellence that transforms their organizations, allowing them to better deliver on their public and social missions. 

At Censeo, our award-winning culture means you’ll join a tight-knit community of 75 brilliant and passionate colleagues. We are advocates for a better functioning public sector, and we’re also good friends who know the names of each other’s dogs. Our philosophy is horizontal, not hierarchical, and our open-door policy encourages a culture of entrepreneurship at all levels. We share successes, make decisions together, and foster an environment for those with passion and initiative (Business Analysts especially!) to lead. Our colleagues bring their own unique personalities to work every day and use them to help shape our growing firm in ways that reach far beyond client projects. 

The Position:

We are looking for passionate, driven candidates to help solve our client’s complex problems and guide them towards operational success. As a Business Analyst with Censeo, you won’t spend your first few years doing tedious project work. Instead, you will jump right into the heart of consulting and play an important role on your teams from day one, owning your own section of work and even driving projects forward based on the initiative and enthusiasm that you bring. A typical day in the life of a Business Analyst is never quite the same, but it is always equally exciting and challenging. On any given day, you could be performing critical analyses, helping shape final recommendations for clients, creating deliverables, or presenting your work to Censeo leadership and senior clients. Some of your key responsibilities as a Business Analyst will include: 

• Supporting all aspects of client engagements from defining the strategy of a project to preparing final deliverables 
• Conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis of data to identify trends, find opportunities areas, and develop meaningful insights 
• Developing in-depth knowledge of client issues, needs, and contexts 
• Collaborating with teams (typically 3-7 team members per project) to recommend realistic solutions to their problems and encourage innovative, bold thinking 
• Sharing insights, results, and recommendations in a comprehensible manner through both written presentations/reports and interactions with teams/clients 

The Ideal Candidate: 

At Censeo, we are looking for unique candidates whose passion and enthusiasm will help shape Censeo’s client insights and workplace culture. Our staff have a wide range of backgrounds, areas of expertise, personality types, and favorite breakfast foods. Our client and cultural successes are rooted in our team’s innovation, creative problem solving, and collaboration. The unique perspective that you bring and the way you tackle problems are much more important to us than what’s printed on your diploma. We believe a successful Business Analyst will have: 

• BA/BS required with a strong academic background 
• Superior creative problem-solving, analytical, and quantitative skills 
• Ability to work effectively on projects with demanding deadlines in a team environment 
• Effective written and verbal communication skills with an ability to share and synthesize knowledge 
• Ability and desire to take initiative and ownership over project work and professional development and growth 
• Knowledge and appreciation of business concepts 
• Knowledge of spreadsheet and presentation software 
• Interest in working with public sector clients
