Consulting Analyst

Leap Consulting Group • Elmwood Park, NJ

5d • $50,000 - $75,000

About The Position

Leap Consulting Group helps organizations modernize operations, technology, data, and business processes through strategy, digital transformation, software selection, implementation, and operational improvement services. Our consultants work directly with executives, operational leaders, and technology teams to solve complex business challenges and deliver meaningful results. We serve clients across healthcare, life sciences, financial services, nonprofit organizations, and other industries.

We are seeking a Consulting Analyst to join our growing team. This role is designed for someone early in their career who wants accelerated exposure to consulting, technology, business operations, project delivery, and executive-level problem solving. You will work directly with senior consultants and client leadership on projects involving business process improvement, software implementation, digital transformation, data and reporting initiatives, operational optimization, and strategic planning. This is not a role where you will be assigned a narrow set of responsibilities and spend years doing the same thing. Successful candidates enjoy learning quickly, taking ownership, solving problems, and working in an environment where every day is different. This role is best suited for individuals who enjoy working in a smaller, entrepreneurial consulting environment rather than a large corporate organization. Team members are expected to take initiative, manage their responsibilities independently, and contribute wherever needed to help clients succeed. We are willing to teach industry knowledge, consulting methodologies, and technology platforms. What we cannot teach is curiosity, accountability, professionalism, communication skills, and a strong work ethic.
