Consulting project opportunity

Sunday, Aug. 23, 2009

This came from a Columbia MBA alumni --thinking we might have a better location advantage.  Please share with your classmates.  TG

Location:  Palo Alto, California (prefer Northern California based resource)

Start date: September 14th, 2009

Duration: 6-8 weeks

Project details and scope

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high powered marketing, analytics, and CRM team with a focus on the customer intelligence / marketing function.  This new project has a strong e-CRM and operations theme.  The audience for the engagement is mid to senior level executives at the client in both marketing and online / digital-net.  The deliverable will be focused on managing an assessment for this organization.  Our client is a large technology company based in the heart of Silicon Valley.

The spirit of the assessment will be anchored around data, analytics, and use of analytics and insights to drive more quality traffic to the web site and increase conversion.

The project will be delivered with a focused small team (~4 experienced consultants) over the course of roughly 6 to 8 weeks starting mid-September 2009.  There is an opportunity for follow-on work.  The consultant would initially join the Method Partners team on a 1099 contractor basis.

Experience requirements

We are looking to compliment our team with a strong web analytics, data, and technology person.  Further, this individual should have experience and an understanding of online CRM from a strategy, programs, and tactics point of view.

The role will require exploration deep into analytical models and methods (e.g. response analysis, segmentation, look-alike-modeling, regressions, and other methods of analyzing and interpreting mass online data, research, and data append which is used for better targeting and creating a more compelling online user experience.

We prefer individuals who have a traditional consulting experience (big 4 or strategy firms) as these are heavy deliverable-focused projects that require creativity, polished communication, linear thinking, top quality content development, and presentation/slide work.

 The business environment is dynamic, so flexibility and ability to adapt are important personal characteristics.  Our team also places emphasis on having fun and enjoying the project work along the journey. 

 

Method Partners is a professional services firm, with a focus on strategy in the sales & marketing functions.
