What are the responsibilities and job description for the Research Analyst Graduate Program '27 - Sydney position at thebrattlegroup?
Our Research Analysts (RAs) are involved in diverse, challenging assignments within a stimulating, collegial work environment. You’ll work side by side with internationally recognised experts in financial economics, managerial accounting, corporate finance, energy, competition, and regulatory economics.

As an RA, you’ll participate in project teams with senior consulting staff. The RA role includes analysis, modelling, and research functions on client projects. Major focus areas for new RAs can be financial and economic modelling, industry analyses, and literature review.

- Reviewing literature and industry trends to understand the debate around key developments
