Ernst & Young, LLP
The Quantitative Economics and Statistics (QUEST) Practice
Statistical Senior Analyst Position
As a global leader in assurance, tax, strategy and transaction services, and consulting services, Ernst & Young, LLP (EY) hires and develops the most passionate people in their field to help build a better working world. This starts with a culture that believes in giving you the training, opportunities, and creative freedom to make things better.
At EY, the QUEST team is a unique practice which consists of statisticians, economists, and business analysts that assist companies, governments, and industry groups with a variety of sophisticated quantitative analyses. Our team provides clients across a wide range of industries and geographies with services related to statistical sampling, survey design and implementation, policy-focused economic analysis, and other quantitative analytics. QUEST is looking to hire a qualified candidate, as a statistics-focused senior analyst, to work alongside our team of statisticians.
The opportunity
As a statistical senior analyst within QUEST, you’ll provide statistical advisory services to private and public-sector clients for the purposes of establishing federal, state, and international tax positions, supporting regulatory compliance, enhancing internal controls and business processes, and providing audit and litigation support services. This will be done primarily through the execution of statistical sampling-based studies requiring complex sample design, selection and extrapolation methods according to established regulatory guidelines. Senior analysts will often convey statistical findings and methods to non-statisticians and handle coordination with internal and external clients on project needs. Senior analysts will also assist in the development of the practice by expanding areas of service and developing tools to improve the efficiency and quality of our processes.
Senior analysts work alongside a team of professional statisticians with diverse skills and backgrounds and will help to develop and maintain long-term client relationships. Seniors receive valuable learning opportunities and on-the-job training in a dynamic, fast-paced, team-oriented work environment.

A senior analyst’s day-to-day responsibilities typically include
- Performing complex statistical sampling, estimation, modeling, and data analytics,
- Analyzing client data to develop efficient sample designs using design-based and model-based approaches,
- Assisting in sample design, estimation work and providing technical guidance to staff,
- Managing and motivating staff analysts with diverse skills and backgrounds,
- Work directly with other EY teams across the US firm to devise the best quantitative approach for their client’s project(s),
- Balancing multiple tasks, meeting project deadlines, and providing quality client service,
- Working well individually as well as in a team setting.
To qualify for the role, you must have
- A Masters or Ph.D., in Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field,
- Interest and ability to apply quantitative methods in a business environment,
- Excellent analytical and communication skills, both written and oral,
- Experience with statistical programming in SAS, R, or other related languages,
- Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to teamwork,
- Ability to direct the work of junior team members,
- Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and meet required deadlines.
