The Company:

The Advisory Board Company (NASDAQ: ABCO) is a global research, consulting, and technology firm helping hospital and university executives to better serve patients and students. They provide strategic guidance, actionable insights, web-based software solutions, and comprehensive implementation and management services. They combine the analytical, managerial, and technological expertise of its 2,000+ employees around the world with insights from the on-the-ground experience of their network of 125,000 leaders at 3,200 health care and higher education member organizations to find solutions to their partners’ most pressing challenges.

About the Position:

Strategic Research Analysts work in teams on custom research engagements to address key challenges or opportunities facing specific hospital members.  Building on the Advisory Board’s vast knowledge and expertise, engagement teams provide strategic guidance to directly support hospital decision-making.  Recent engagements have focused on the following topics: evaluating market differentiation tactics for cardiac surgery, defining programmatic growth platforms for stroke care, crafting a strategic vision for a digestive health center, designing a framework to better conceptualize cancer care pathways, and launching a revenue growth strategy for orthopedic services.  Analysts are actively involved throughout the engagement cycle—from conception, to research interviews, to analysis and creation of presentation materials.

  • Document and analyze findings from primary and secondary research
  • Reduce member challenges to root cause problems
  • Identify and critique best practice strategies and solutions
  • Develop innovative frameworks for presentation of findings

As analysts become more experienced, they assume broader responsibilities, including management of member relationships, providing “thought leadership” and creativity, and serving as “in-house experts” on various topics.

The analyst position offers significant growth and rapid promotion potential, as well as opportunities to take on other roles within our growing firm. The Advisory Board is a true meritocracy, with pace of advancement within the firm based on an analyst’s performance, capabilities and ambition.
