WHAT WE DO
Sage Analysis Group, an MIT Sloan spinoff, is a strategic management consulting firm using advanced modeling and data analytics to help leaders in both industry and government with highly complex, important issues. Typical challenges we analyze and advise on include succeeding on major acquisition programs, addressing emerging strategic issues, and improving enterprise performance. Our analyses integrate and leverage quantitative data, qualitative information, and expert insights to help clients with key decisions. We apply our mature Data Science and System Dynamics modeling capabilities to identify causal drivers and holistically assess complicated, counterintuitive behaviors in complex environments. We help clients across a spectrum from providing strategic advice backed by rigorous analysis to building innovative, custom solutions that provide ongoing strategic insight.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Candidates should be passionate about helping clients tackle tough and unstructured challenges and be willing to stretch themselves and keep learning. Consultants can contribute to a wide range of projects over time depending on their skills, ranging from complex modeling and analysis to diagnosis to working side by side with clients on operational improvement. Project teams work together to identify and diagnose strategic issues; design and conduct detailed quantitative analyses; summarize findings and clearly explain recommendations; discuss and review findings with senior clients; and help clients take action to put these insights into practice.
Work experience and education determine the level at which candidates enter, though progression is based solely on capability and performance. Rapid advancement is possible for outstanding performers.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree preferably in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Machine Learning, Management Science, or other data centric or STEM disciplines with relevant internships or other experience for Analyst positions and advanced degrees and/or additional work experience for higher ranks.

MEET A FEW OF OUR PEOPLE
Dana, Principal Consultant
“After completing my master’s in chemical engineering, I was looking for a career that would allow me to use my engineering expertise to work on challenging problems in high impact areas. I found that fit with Sage Analysis Group. Their technical, model-, and data-driven approach to consulting, combined with strategic top-down thinking, builds upon my engineering background and expands my problem solving and communication skills. The dedication of the Sage team to both solve complex problems and help others learn and succeed along the way has enabled me to flourish.”
Dana joined Sage after completing her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering at MIT. At Sage, Dana has developed causal models and simulations to help defense clients manage risk and has constructed infectious disease models.
Daniel, Consultant
“I came out of college with the goal of helping people make better, data-informed decisions on important problems. I wanted to utilize and strengthen my analytic background, improve my ability to understand what drives behaviors at large organizations, and practice communicating complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences. What I found in Sage was all that, along with the opportunity to work alongside talented and supportive colleagues and the freedom to explore new mathematical modeling practices. The combination of Sage being an employee-owned business and having leadership that fosters a cooperative culture while maintaining a healthy work/life balance made the decision to join an easy one.”
Daniel joined Sage after completing his B.S.’s in Physics and Applied Mathematics at University of Maryland and M.S. in Applied Mathematics at Johns Hopkins. Daniel has worked on multiple aircraft sustainment projects, being heavily involved in building new, custom models.
Krystyna, Consultant
“I studied math in college because I wanted to develop my ability to think logically and critically about complicated problems, and knew I wanted my next step to be a job that furthered those skills. Working at Sage has allowed me to have that job in an environment full of colleagues who work on pressing and meaningful issues but are also invested in my personal growth and success.”
Krystyna joined Sage after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame. At Sage she has used data analytics and system dynamics thinking and methods to support large, complex programs vital to the national defense.
