About The Position

Gabriele Consulting Group is now hiring an early-career Business Analyst / Project Manager to support long-term projects for our clients. This is a great opportunity for someone who is eager to develop career-building skills in an environment that provides training and mentorship from senior leaders in business analysis, business processes and modern technology. We are looking for just two years of experience in business analysis, project management, or an IT-focused role in consulting, and experience gained during college through part-time work or internships counts.
Some foundational business analysis experience is required for this position (advanced Excel, some experience with reporting tools like Tableau), although most of the skills needed can be acquired on the job. We are most interested in finding someone who is highly analytical with well-rounded communication skills and the ability to work independently. We’ll provide training on the specific processes and tools needed to be successful in this role.

Position Summary:
We are adding a Business Analyst / Project Manager (BA/PM) to our small, dynamic team to serve the immediate and future needs for one of our long-standing clients (a large, publicly traded company) and potentially additional clients as we grow.
Our BA/PM will initially report directly to Jeff Gabriele for general employment and will report to different Project Managers on the GCG team for various assignments. This position will take over several analyst functions that require a high level of precision and attention to detail in data management, such as updating and maintaining essential databases and organizing information in Excel so that it is easily digestible and presentable.
The trajectory for a successful BA/PM is to grow into a higher level Project Manager role that is responsible for scoping and managing cross-functional projects, conducting robust analyses, solving complex challenges, delivering high quality results, and earning the trust of our clients.
As examples of the types of projects this position could work on, here are several projects we have been or are currently involved in with our current client:
Project management of very large unstructured data governance initiative, including managing unstructured data separation strategy and execution for a large-scale spinoff
Project management of a large-scale migration from prior versions of SAP and JDE ERPs to SAP S/4 HANA.
Program management of the ingestion of data into the company’s Common Data Layer (CDL), which is a massive data repository, housing data from hundreds of apps and tens of thousands of tables.
The ideal candidate for the BA/PM role is someone who is interested in a career in IT-focused project management and would value the chance to gain experience working for a small consultancy with visibility into a large, complex organization.
This position offers a high degree of autonomy and a flexible schedule. This role can be done remotely from anywhere in the U.S., although it may be necessary to adapt to the East coast time zone to be available for client meetings. Success will be measured initially by how quickly the BA/PM can earn trust and take work off of other Project Managers, and ultimately by the magnitude of successful outcomes we are able to achieve for our clients. The career trajectory for this role may include ownership of client relationships and growth within GCG or a permanent placement within one of our client companies.
