What training is provided?

New Analysts are provided with a developmental ‘Analyst Training Program’ designed to provide you with key consulting skills helpful to your role and introduce you to the team. This will consist of the following: tool-specific training (e.g. Excel charting/PowerPoint design); soft skill training (e.g. time management, leadership, presentation skills); and ‘Management Consulting 101’ (project management skills and effective stakeholder management). You will have the opportunity to meet and learn directly from a range of Subject Matter Experts who will present client projects and explain the different focus areas within Alpha Alternatives.

Following the Analyst Training Program, you will begin working as part of an Alpha team on client engagements! You will receive training on-the-role, as well as full access to LinkedIn Learning – meaning you can further develop your skillsets across a number of topics - examples being communication, presentation, technology and problem solving skills.

What is the role?

As an Alpha Alternatives Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in implementing and optimizing cutting-edge solutions within Financial Services and Private Markets. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements, configure software platforms, and ensure seamless integration with existing systems. Your expertise will drive efficiency, enhance data accuracy, and empower our clients to make informed investment decisions. In return, you can expect leading-class learning and development tailored to your unique interests and motivations. You'll be given the skills, knowledge, and opportunities to progress in your career with compelling and challenging engagements.

Through that journey, it will be important for you to build strong client relationships of trust and domain experience. As you build knowledge and experience, you'll become a credible advisor to junior consultants within the organization, as well as your clients, helping them accelerate the delivery of products and services to their users. As Alpha Alternatives continues its growth as a leader in Financial Services and Private Markets Technology, your ability to stay at the forefront of innovative solutions is critical.
