Please visit the Our People page to read about the personal experiences of various Analysis Group team consultants and administrative professionals.

Responsibilities vary significantly across administrative departments and positions. Most require specific technical skills, expertise, certifications, training, or experience. Please see specific job listings for requirements.

Administrative teams often collaborate closely to provide thought partnership to our consultants. For example, consultants work with conflicts specialists in the Legal department to search for potential conflicts of interest. Our Recruiting team within Human Resources works with the Digital Marketing, Editorial, and Graphics teams. Consultants reach out to researchers in Business Development to look into litigation case histories. These strong and valuable relationships result in trust and respect across teams.

Here are some of the responsibilities common to many administrative positions at Analysis Group:

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders at all levels of the firm to determine their needs, challenges, and goals, and develop strategies to meet them.
• Provide reliable, high-quality, and supportive customer service when responding to internal and external requests.
• Engage in ongoing trainings and certifications as needed. Cross-train with other team members and learn to provide back-up support on critical procedures.
• Effectively and proactively coach and mentor other team members. Support the firm’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
• Identify trends by utilizing data, analytics, and stakeholder feedback. Note opportunities for process improvement. Suggest improved workflow strategies as needed.

From rich orientation programming, to mentoring from advisors and experienced employees, to Analysis Group University (AGU) courses and trainings, every administrative professional has an array of opportunities to learn, grow, and advance. The firm also offers LinkedIn Learning courses and certifications to help you develop your skills. The following are several of our training and development opportunities for administrative professionals.

AG Orientation: All new full-time employees attend an annual orientation in Boston. Orientation features speeches from senior staff, small group discussions, and social events. New employees return to work with a greater understanding of our history, work, culture, and people, as well as an expanded network of peers and resources to help them succeed at our firm.

Analysis Group University (AGU): All employees can access our centralized online learning portal and view hundreds of training videos, presentations, and other targeted training content on demand. Technical and nontechnical trainings are available.

Quarterly Discussion Series: This series features discussion sessions on topics including delivering performance reviews, onboarding employees, and best practices for effective communication. These discussions provide our administrative teams with opportunities to strengthen their peer networks across functional areas and build skills in management and communication.

Administrative Leadership Program: Strong leaders are critical to our success at Analysis Group, and employees’ experiences are heavily influenced by their managers. To improve those experiences and foster better leadership, we invest in our leaders through the Leadership Development program. This program takes place over four half days and includes peer coaching groups throughout. The curriculum focuses on building skills in people management, project leadership, and communication.

Productive Conversations: Our Productive Conversations curriculum offers consultants and administrative staff a framework for approaching difficult conversations with clients, senior staff, direct reports, and teams. This interactive workshop allows participants to practice these effective techniques in small group settings. Each year many employees across roles and offices participate in this workshop.

In addition to the opportunities above, we also support or sponsor attendance at other off-site trainings and workshops appropriate for administrative professionals.

For our administrative professionals, opportunities for advancement vary by role and team. We encourage our employees to work closely with their advisors to identify areas for growth.

Many of our employees also engage in pro bono work, which provides them with valuable experience. Please see our Pro Bono at Analysis Group page for details.

The Review Process

Everyone at Analysis Group has a hand in helping peers and colleagues grow and develop in their careers. The firm takes the annual performance review process very seriously. Supporting each other in our long-term development is central to our continued success.

Every fall, as part of the review process, we reflect on all aspects of each employee’s performance. This includes individual and team work, project contributions, interactions with internal and external stakeholders, and firm- and community-building contributions such as advising, leading firm initiatives, and mentoring. We find that our review process contributes enormously to the cohesive, collaborative, and principled environment that makes our employees take such pride in our firm.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I)

We believe that a diverse workforce directly supports our goal to provide the highest-quality work, and that equity and inclusion are necessary to unlock the power of that diversity. This drives our commitment to strong talent and business practices that provide richer opportunities to people of all backgrounds, including all sexual orientations, genders, gender identities and expressions, races, colors, ethnicities, national origins, mental and physical abilities and characteristics, ages, socioeconomic statuses, and religions. Our collaborative and people- and learning-oriented culture helps ensure that employees from all backgrounds can contribute fully and meaningfully, and bring their full selves to work each and every day. Additionally, we are committed to social impact initiatives that connect our expertise with worthy causes beyond the firm.

Does Analysis Group have any administrative professionals outside of Boston?
Most of our administrative professionals are located in Boston, but we have administrative staff in all of our offices.

Does Analysis Group follow a hybrid work model? Does it allow the flexibility to work fully remotely?
Being together in the office allows us to take an active part in the exceptional collaboration, mentorship, networking, and cultural cohesion that makes Analysis Group such a special place. Working together in person fosters greater career growth and allows us to support each other more fully as well. As a result, we believe it is best for employees to work together in the office most of the time. We also know that flexibility and the ability to work remotely some of the time is important to many of us. Most of our employees can be successful while working in the office at least three days a week and working remotely one or two days a week much of the time.
