Ernst & Young, LLP

The Quantitative Economics and Statistics (QUEST) Practice

 

Statistical Analyst Position

 

As a global leader in assurance, tax, strategy and transaction services, and consulting services, Ernst & Young, LLP (EY) hires and develops the most passionate people in their field to help build a better working world. This starts with a culture that believes in giving you the training, opportunities, and creative freedom to make things better.

 

At EY, the QUEST team is a unique practice which consists of statisticians, economists, and business analysts that assist companies, governments, and industry groups with a variety of sophisticated quantitative analyses. Our team provides clients across a wide range of industries and geographies with services related to statistical sampling, survey design and implementation, policy-focused economic analysis, and other quantitative analytics. QUEST is looking to hire a qualified candidate, as a statistics-focused analyst, to work alongside our team of statisticians.

 

The opportunity

 

As a statistical analyst within QUEST, you’ll provide statistical advisory services to private and public-sector clients for the purposes of establishing federal, state, and international tax positions, supporting regulatory compliance, enhancing internal controls and business processes, and providing audit and litigation support services. This will be done primarily through the execution of statistical sampling-based studies requiring complex sample design, selection and extrapolation methods according to established regulatory guidelines. Statistical analysts will often convey statistical findings and methods to non-statisticians and handle coordination with internal and external clients on project needs. Statistical analysts will also assist in the development of the practice by expanding areas of service and developing tools to improve the efficiency and quality of our processes.

 

Statistical analysts work alongside a team of professional statisticians with diverse skills and backgrounds and will help to develop and maintain long-term client relationships. Statistical Analysts receive valuable learning opportunities and on-the-job training in a dynamic, fast-paced, team-oriented work environment.
