How to Apply for Analyst / Sr. Analyst (Spanish fluency required) - Remote, Part Time
at Public Equity Group
🏢 About Public Equity Group
Public Equity Group (PEG) is a mission-driven consulting network that mobilizes strategy and management experts to help visionary leaders and organizations achieve social impact. Unlike traditional consulting firms, PEG partners with a diverse array of nonprofits across education, housing, workforce development, arts, philanthropy, climate, and civil rights. Working here means contributing directly to underserved communities while learning from seasoned professionals in a flexible, remote environment.
About This Role
As an Analyst/Sr. Analyst (Spanish fluency required), you'll support consulting projects by synthesizing data from sources like the US Census, government reports, and research studies, with a focus on Spanish-speaking communities. This part-time remote role is ideal for recent students or grads eager to apply analytical skills to real-world social impact challenges. Your work will directly inform strategies for nonprofits tackling issues like immigration, child welfare, and affordable housing.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve extracting and cleaning data from a US Census database, translating key findings from Spanish-language reports, and drafting a summary for a client's strategic plan. You'll collaborate with senior consultants via video calls, receive feedback on your analysis, and adjust your work independently. Since it's part-time, you'll manage your own schedule, balancing this project with other commitments.

🎯 Who Public Equity Group Is Looking For
