at The Cadmus Group

🏢 About The Cadmus Group

The Cadmus Group has been a leader in sustainable change since 1995, blending innovative policy with strategic stakeholder engagement. Their mission-driven focus on environmental and social impact sets them apart from traditional consulting firms. Working here means contributing to meaningful projects that shape a better future.

About This Role

As a Junior Business Analyst at Cadmus, you'll bridge the gap between user needs and technical solutions, focusing on automation and digital transformation. Your work will directly optimize processes for sustainability initiatives, making a tangible impact on how the organization operates. This role offers hands-on experience with agile methodologies and cutting-edge AI tools.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting to sync with development teams, followed by user interviews to gather requirements for a new automation tool. You'd then document user stories in JIRA, create process flows in Visio, and collaborate with stakeholders to refine solutions. Afternoons could involve testing new features or analyzing data to identify further optimization opportunities.
