Business Analyst

Apex is looking for several talented, curious and creative Business Analysts who will participate in operations consulting engagements. If you have worked in consulting positions, have a passion for resolving organizational “pockets of pain” associated with goals, people, processes or technology, we would love to talk with you.

In this position you will participate in the following activities, and more:

• Analyze client organizational processes, workflows, and communication patterns
• Assess, at a functional level, client systems and tools in order to recommend more streamlined, modernized, and integrated technology solutions
• Work with our clients to implement and manage change to their organizational structure, operational models, team configurations, process models, and technology plans
• Proactively extend Apex processes and document templates with creative and relevant improvements
• Assist in ensuring engagements are delivered on time and with the highest degree of integrity and accuracy

In addition to client-related work, you will play an important role in helping to make Apex a more effective, innovative company that serves its clients faster and better every day. This will entail helping us “take our own medicine” — periodically reviewing our own process models, organizational structures, ways of delivering results to our clients, and more.

Our ideal candidate will exhibit the following characteristics:

• Proficient documentation skills, including diagrams of process flow and organizational structures (Word, Visio, etc.)
• Excellent technical writing skills
• Outstanding communication skills — specifically the ability to ask relevant, insightful and respectful questions about a broad range of operational topics
• 1 to 3 years experience in business consulting, preferably with medium to large organizations
• An understanding of the relevance of well—applied technology for operational effectiveness
• A passion to work for “good companies” — companies known for being good places to work, for sustainable practices, or for making the world a better place and improving the human condition.
• An irrepressible curiosity and eagerness to learn and do the right thing, coupled with a willingness to speak candidly
• A BA or BS degree

At Apex, you will find a competitive pay and benefit package. We provide:

• Holiday and sick pay
• Health, dental, vision and life insurance
• 401k Plan
• Paid vacation you can actually take
• Company-funded training or conference participation
• Company-wide annual volunteer day
• Quarterly company retreats

You will have to see for yourself, but we think we have an exciting, open, and supportive culture based on respect, candor, competence, humor, and drive.

Please send your resume to recruiting@apexds.com or fax it to us at 301-588-9766. We look forward to talking with you!
