The Position:

We are looking for eager, driven candidates with experience in people management, communication, facilitation, problem-solving, and analysis to guide our teams in developing impactful solutions for our Federal clients at the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). As a Consultant with Censeo, you will play an important role as a team member. On any given day, you could be managing the day-to-day activities of your project team, working closely with clients to understand their needs, developing strategies to meet those needs, and conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis to solve problems and develop deliverables for our client at the IRS. Some of your key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting all aspects of client engagements from defining the strategy of a project to preparing final deliverables 
• Conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis of data to identify trends, find opportunities areas, and develop meaningful insights 
• Contributing thought leadership by engaging in the development of recommendations
• Contributing to written and verbal communication specific to the engagement
• Building client relationships across your client account, including understanding customer requirements and identifying and resolving delivery risks before they happen
• Consistently deriving sound business insights from analysis of complex issues
• Developing in-depth knowledge of client issues, needs, and contexts 
• Collaborating with teams (typically 3-7 team members per project) to recommend realistic solutions to their problems and encourage innovative, bold thinking 
• Sharing insights, results, and recommendations in a comprehensible manner through both written presentations/reports and interactions with teams/clients
