The Role

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We collaborate with education organizations to develop strategies and implement solutions that enable the transformative change our clients need to own their future. Together, we empower clients to drive innovation, create sustainable funding streams and deliver better student outcomes.
Today, leaders of higher education institutions and academic medical centers are spending too much time reacting to market forces, rather than focusing on the essential priorities that help students, faculty and staff thrive. The most productive path forward requires an intentional approach and innovative thinking, whereby stakeholders across the entire institution rally around a shared vision and embrace the hard work of effecting change.
You’ll help our clients to achieve organizational effectiveness, improve student outcomes, implement new technologies and align resources and investments to ensure long-term sustainability.
Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.

Higher education institutions face increasingly complex financial challenges that demand rigorous analysis and data-driven decision-making. As a Consulting Associate/Sr Analyst at Huron, you will apply your quantitative and analytical skills to help colleges and universities navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence.
In this role, you will build and refine financial models, analyze institutional data, and translate complex findings into actionable insights that inform strategic and operational decisions.
You will work directly with client teams to support financial planning, resource allocation, and performance improvement initiatives — bringing structure and precision to problems that have real impact on institutional sustainability.
If you are a analytically driven professional who thrives on solving complex problems and is eager to apply your skills in a mission-driven environment, Huron offers the opportunity to grow your career while making a meaningful difference in higher education
