Job Description:
ZS Associates is a global management consulting firm specializing in sales and marketing strategy, operations and execution. ZS is recognized for its expertise in go-to-market and sales force strategies and its downstream implementation capabilities. ZS helps companies achieve sales success by delivering both issue-specific solutions and large-scale business transformations.

With 15 offices and more than 900 people worldwide, we have concentrated our resources on creating competitive advantage in sales and marketing for our clients in selected industries. Our focus has enabled us to develop an unmatched depth of knowledge and base of experience. ZS also has a unique working environment. Our work is challenging, intense and highly quantitative, yet our interactions are direct and informal.

Operations Research Analyst Interns develop and use analytic models to help clients make sound business decisions. As an Operations Research Analyst Intern, you will:
• Develop advanced statistical models
• Use sophisticated optimization techniques
• Design custom analysis tools
• Leverage basic programming skills to gain insight from client data
• Collaborate with clients to develop and implement innovative solutions
• Take initiative on both client engagements and internal projects
• Communicate results and discuss issues with project teams and clients
• Gain immediate responsibility for project deliverables

What opportunities exist at ZS?
ZS project teams are usually composed of two to five people drawn from different levels of the firm. Working with small teams on major consulting assignments encourages a close working relationship with ZS Consultants, Managers, Principals and clients. The exposure to clients encourages an understanding of the critical questions facing sales and marketing executives.

Upon joining, an orientation provides information on basic tools, resources and key ZS practice areas. In addition, several training sessions are offered, ranging from broad business topics to specific technical instruction. A Professional Development Manager will provide career guidance, and project performance evaluation will help identify areas for innovation and growth. As analytic and technical skills grow, so do project management opportunities.

At the end of the internship, Operation Research Analyst Interns are evaluated and considered for a full-time offer.  

Qualifications: 
Operations Research Analyst Interns are earning a BS/BA in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Mathematics, Statistics or Econometrics or related majors that emphasize building strong analytical skills, as well as a strong academic record (GPA of 3.5/4.0 or higher). In addition, we seek individuals with the following:
• Detail orientation

• General Programming Skills

Candidates must be rising seniors at a university where we conduct on-campus recruiting.

ZS Associates is an equal opportunity employer.
