Responsibilities
Research and analysis, which is a cornerstone of the strategy team’s work. This means you get to be curious and learn every day, and encourage curiosity and a learning mentality in other team members. You will balance working independently and guiding others to gather, analyze, structure, and synthesize qualitative and quantitative business, external market, and competitor data and information, as well as examine aspects of the firm’s client base, capabilities, and economics – to find patterns, draw implications, and develop effective and compelling deliverables
Project management and work planning, which means that you will start your work and the work of others from a general problem statement and clearly scope out the strategic issues and options to be researched and analyzed. You will develop hypotheses and figure out how to explore them, applying effective time management skills to balance multiple efforts and consistently meet deadlines – all while ensuring the highest level of accuracy, organization, documentation, communication, and follow-through for your own work and the work of others, as a mentor to teammates
Strategic option development and decision support, which starts with the presentation of findings through compelling and logical deliverables such as qualitative and quantitative exhibits, as well as written reports. You will work closely and iteratively with teammates to create polished, client-ready deliverables; propose actionable options for decision makers; and potentially frame strategy implementation plans
Relationship building, which is an essential component of the role of the project leader. This entails building, developing, and growing business relationships vital to the success of each project, as opportunities arise, as well as adopting and fostering a collaborative approach to working with team members and across support team functions, consistent with Ropes & Gray’s culture of collaboration
