Marshall Career Source 11

Analysts play a central role at Cornerstone Research. They work in case teams which range in size but typically include an academic or industry expert, senior consultants, and analysts. Within a case team, the analyst makes important contributions during all phases of a project—from developing case strategy, to conducting analyses, to preparing experts for testimony. Case work has both quantitative and qualitative elements, involving such key responsibilities as conducting financial and economic modeling, examining market and industry behavior, and presenting findings to colleagues and clients. Our small size provides the analyst opportunities to interact closely not only with senior consultants and academic experts, but also with clients. Analysts participate actively in the development of Cornerstone Research’s recruiting, training, systems strategies, and in-house software. Cornerstone Research believes that strong skills develop best through practical experience. We begin with a training program to introduce the analyst to sophisticated analytical and statistical techniques used throughout our practice. Following training, analysts join case teams where they have immediate impact while continuing to learn new skills. Analysts gain tremendous learning and development opportunities by working closely with experts, clients, and senior consultants, and through our ongoing training programs. Cornerstone Research values the professional growth of analysts and recognizes their contributions to clients and the firm. Consequently, the analyst role has evolved to a position typically involving a stay of three or more years. The analytical depth of our assignments, the breadth of industry exposure, and experience working in case teams offer outstanding preparation for analysts applying to top graduate programs in business, economics, and law, and for ensuing careers in consulting, finance, industry, and academia. A number of our senior consultants started their careers as analysts with our firm. Qualifications: To fill the limited number of analyst positions, Cornerstone Research seeks well-rounded, enthusiastic individuals who have demonstrated excellent academic performance. We encourage candidates with strong analytical backgrounds, computer skills, and interest in business and economics to apply. To Apply: To apply for the analyst position, please send the following materials: 1) a cover letter (indicating your top three geographic preferences among the following offices: Menlo Park, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, New York and Washington, DC), 2) a résumé and 3) a copy of your transcript.
