DESCRIPTION and RESPONSIBILITIES

Junior SAS Developer / Report Developer-Analyst

The client is seeking a full-time Junior SAS Developer / Report Developer-Analyst consultant to work with our client .

Client is a leading economic consulting firm focused on providing economic, statistical, and financial analysis; litigation and consulting support; and expert testimony to the world's leading
companies and law firms.
The junior SAS developer position is the entry-level position, and no prior work experience is required to apply. Consultants assist with the managing of documents and data received from our clients.

In some cases when the appropriate data is not available, Consultants may be required to assist in collecting data via observation studies or in-person surveys at client locations.
Consultants typically play a major part in forming and testing hypotheses when analyzing data and are expected to be (or become) proficient programmers with a trained eye for details.
While Consultants will regularly process data and perform empirical work, they will also be expected to develop a sense of the big picture for each case and to learn how to shape findings into a coherent story supported by prevailing economic theories and statistical methods.
The ideal candidate is highly motivated and intellectually curious, with a positive attitude and some exposure to basic statistical software or computer programming languages.
The litigation environment can be unpredictable, so the Consultant should be able to handle multiple requests and accommodate tight deadlines confidently. For the right candidate, the position will be as rewarding as it is demanding.
