Analyst

Gate One Group, LLC is a management consulting and mergers and acquisition advisory firm with a primary focus on the payments industry. We have positions open for Analysts.

Our principal specialty is the payments industry (e.g., credit cards, debit cards, digital payments including P2P, Buy Now Pay Later, cryptocurrencies, and digital forms of traditional payment types) in which we advise clients on strategic decisions such as new partnerships or products and decisions to acquire or divest businesses or assets. Our client base is primarily in North America and includes leading companies in the financial services, retail, travel, technology, manufacturing, and consumer goods industries. The company is located in Annapolis, MD.

Analysts are provided the opportunity to play meaningful roles on client engagements in a challenging and fast-paced work environment. Analysts are typically members of every client engagement team with responsibility for completing a wide range of quantitative, qualitative, and competitive analysis. Analysts will be rapidly integrated into our firm where they can develop specialized experience and contribute to client engagements and business development efforts of the firm.

Analyst responsibilities include:

• Conducting quantitative, financial and strategic analysis;
• Conducting research and data collection;

The Analyst position demands high energy and creativity.

Depending on COVID conditions, travel can be incorporated into project plans and includes, for some of our engagements, international travel (primarily to Canada).
