EPiC Associate Consultant - Data & Analytics

Minneapolis, MN

As an EPiC Associate Consultant, you will be a part of a fast-paced environment helping clients and internal business partners solve complex problems and delivering exceptional results. EPiC accelerates how quickly you learn, contribute, and build confidence as a consultant. From day one, you’ll do real work with a team that expects a lot and invests in your growth. 

You’ll contribute to client work early, owning pieces of analysis, slides, and follow-through. You’ll build trust through quality, responsiveness, and strong attention to detail. You’ll learn by doing with rapid feedback. Project leads will give direct input, and you’ll apply it quickly. Your core consulting skills will develop through real work. You’ll be supported by a clear system. A people leader guides your development, a mentor helps you navigate day to day, and a cohort builds connection and accountability.  

You’ll take on more ownership over time. You’ll start with structure and quickly move toward more independent responsibility as your confidence and capability grow. And most importantly, you’ll show up as a Pioneer, modeling what it means to be Humble, Hungry, and Connected.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
