Business Analyst

Join a global consulting firm supporting a key public sector client engagement in downtown San Diego as a Business Analyst. This full-time hybrid role — 3 days onsite at a premier location in the heart of downtown — is open to contract-to-hire and offers an excellent entry point for an early-career professional looking to grow within a consulting environment. You'll support a critical financial institution that invests, manages, and administers a multi-billion dollar retirement pension plan for city employees. The role involves gathering and documenting business requirements, supporting ITSM processes, and providing coordination support for executive and board-level meetings on a bi-monthly basis. Salary range is $85,000-$100,000 based on experience. This is an exceptional opportunity for a motivated Business Analyst to gain real exposure to executive-level operations within a high-profile consulting engagement. You'll work directly with senior stakeholders on a mission-critical account, preparing materials and providing support for board-level meetings — experience that is rare at this career stage. The ITSM component offers structured skill development with training provided if needed, making this accessible for analysts looking to expand their technical fluency without needing deep prior experience. The hybrid schedule strikes a strong work-life balance, and the onsite experience is a genuine perk — the office features a golf simulator, refreshment centers, collaborative and focus work spaces, and sits in a prime downtown San Diego location with reimbursed parking. For an ambitious analyst eager to accelerate their growth in a dynamic consulting environment, this role offers the visibility, variety, and support to do exactly that.
