Data and analytics
FTI Consulting offers the depth, resources and professional standards of a global firm, combined with the focus and hands-on senior support of a dedicated health and human services team.
This is an opportunity to build your consulting career while contributing to projects that improve outcomes for communities, clients and service users.
What you’ll do
As a key member of our team, you will support complex projects across the health and human services sector. You will work alongside experienced consultants and industry experts to help clients solve difficult problems, make evidence-based decisions and deliver practical change.
From day one, you will have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful client work. This could include:
Conducting qualitative and quantitative analysis, including document reviews, stakeholder consultation synthesis, data analysis and options assessment.
Preparing high-impact presentations, reports and briefing materials for clients and stakeholders.

The ability to work both independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
The ability to work with team members and client personnel in demanding, deadline-driven situations.
