We are currently seeking to fill an Associate Consultant position. The position requires 2 – 5 years of prior professional experience in Strategy, Business Process, Decision Analysis or Management Consulting. The position requires analytical skills, expertise and the ability to effectively interact at all levels of large corporate organizations. The ideal candidate should be able to take data and formulate sound business decisions through various statistical and quantitative analytics techniques.  An intermediate proficiency of six sigma tools and analysis methodologies (along with all the accompanying statistical tools) is a plus; however, the ability to demonstrate a firm understanding of systems design and engineering is acceptable.  The candidate must exhibit polished oral and written communication skills when engaging colleagues, clients, and potential clients. Strong technology and analytical skills are a must, as interpreting, mining and summarizing data to infer meaningful conclusions is a huge part of the job function. The candidate must be organized, confident, self-motivated, willing to learn and able to function effectively with minimal direct supervision. While employee quality of life is important to us, there may be significant amounts of travel required to maintain the appropriate client service levels that our organization prides itself on.

 As part of a time motion analysis study, observe and record detailed notes in the field of a technician performing an installation or repair of a technical product.
Maintain a professional acumen with the technicians observed and customers engaged with.  
Observe and deduce sources of variation in time and process flow of the technician.  
Ask relevant, pointed questions, that promote a professional dialogue with the technician—bridging the gap between his/her expertise and increased efficiency and process improvement.
Seek opportunities for process improvement—efficiency and waste reduction.
Report findings, deductions, and suggestions for improvement back to a team.
Diversity of projects across telecommunications, exposure to a variety of products and technical practices.
Team dynamic—everyone shares a passion for process improvement and supports one another in performing at the highest levels.
Travel and work in a variety of markets across the U.S., each one with its own culture and challenges keeps things fresh and exciting.
 Going back to stamina, there can be certain jobs out in the fields being observed that run into a lot of down time and/or monotonous activity.  It can be challenging to stay focused and maintain a high level of focus when things seem to be more at a standstill.  However, anticipating such downtime, one can shift focus and better manage one’s time and activities accordingly.
Maintaining stamina:  The days in the field are long, 8-10 hours, in addition to morning and evening meetings.  The work day can be as much as 12+ hours.  Pacing oneself and maintaining focus are keys to success due to the fact that observations and recordings must be detailed, valid, and reliable.  
Identifying and recommending opportunities for process improvement:  While there are always obvious opportunities for process improvement, the most challenging aspect is digging deeper into the standardized business as usual process and developing a new way to look at that process.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
