Project Management Business Analyst - Staff Consultant

The Local Government Practice Group(LGPG) is seeking a Project Management Business Analyst - Staff Consultant to join our Enterprise Digital Transformation (EDT) practice. We are currently looking to hire two individuals for the same role within the EDT practice.

Focused on inspiring organizations to transform and innovate, LGPG partners with municipal, county, regional, and quasi-governmental entities throughout the US to help them meet their biggest challenges. We partner with local governments at the enterprise level, as well as within and across departments, to meet the most critical needs of their community, emphasizing principles of equity and engagement. We take pride in tailoring our projects to recognize the work our clients do every day.

We care about what we do, and we care about the people impacted by our work.

Our EDT practice focuses on working with municipal clients (cities, counties, schools, and special districts) to address business process transformation initiatives, including: process and policy assessments/gap analyses; software assessments and replacement planning; as well as providing client-side project management as clients implement new software solutions. Our team combines expertise in technology, operations, and software system processes to help clients navigate complex organizational and technological change.

We are passionate about the work we perform, supporting our clients and our own team members, and we have fun in the process. We have worked with hundreds of government agencies throughout the United States. We understand the needs of public sector agencies, their fiscal constraints, and the commitment to serving constituents. Upon joining our EDT practice, you can expect to receive guidance from the supervisor(s), consultants, or principal in charge of an engagement or project within LGPG.

Work performed will be closely supervised through coaching and training. With guidance from staff members of the EDT practice and LGPG, you will become familiar with the firm’s systems, operations, and relationships. The firm expects you to demonstrate flexibility, have a willingness to seek out advice, and exhibit an ambition for learning.

You will work with a mix of high-performing teams offering a variety of projects in a fast-paced environment with many opportunities for personal and professional growth. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with many different stakeholders within local government.
