Manager
Managers are responsible for leading client case teams and structuring the overall analytical approach to cases. They work with senior leaders to respond to lead inquiries and prepare proposals. Managers also play an active role in our business development and affiliate support initiatives. They act as mentors and aid in the development of junior consultants.
Our generalist managers often work across a variety of practices during their careers with Analysis Group, though some choose to specialize within just one or two areas. Health care managers are staffed to cases within our HEOR, Epidemiology & Market Access practice.
Analysis Group fosters an academically oriented work environment with an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration across multiple areas of expertise. To read more about our view of economic consulting, visit our What is Economic Consulting? page.

The Review Process
Everyone at Analysis Group has a hand in helping peers and colleagues grow and develop in their careers. The firm takes the annual performance review process very seriously. Supporting each other in our long-term development is central to our continued success.
Every fall, as part of the review process, we reflect on all aspects of each employee’s performance. This includes case work, project contributions, and firm and community-building contributions such as advising, leading, and mentoring. We find that our review process contributes enormously to the cohesive, collaborative, and principled environment that makes our employees take such pride in our firm.
Analysis Group has an internal labor market. Our consultants build connections and find new case work based on their interests and support from our staffing coordinators. Some generalist managers work primarily within one practice. Others choose to gain their experience across a variety of practices and case types. Health care managers expand on their expertise in the life sciences fields and are able to explore treatment areas across our HEOR, Epidemiology & Market Access practice.
Managers work with other internal consultants at all levels of experience, including senior staff, as well as with law firms, academic and industry leaders, and experts within their fields.

Does Analysis Group follow a hybrid work model? Does it allow the flexibility to work fully remotely?
At AG, we are committed to developing and retaining talent, and want to foster an environment in which we are as happy and productive as possible. To that end, we believe that it’s best for us to be together in the office most of the time, and that our collective presence in the office is vitally important for the collaboration, mentorship, networking, and cultural cohesion that make AG such a special place. We also believe that over the long term, most of us will have more career growth and offer better support to one another if we are in the office a significant amount. For that reason, we ask all AG employees to be in the office at least three days per week in a typical week. We also value flexibility and in some cases, we provide additional opportunities for people to work remotely, taking into consideration role, tenure, firm contributions, and geography.
