About The Role
At FTI Consulting, our Data Analytics & AI team works with some of Australia's most important organisations across healthcare, transport, government and mining to help them solve real problems and deliver better outcomes for the communities they serve. We're not just crunching numbers; we're helping hospitals improve patient care, supporting government agencies to design smarter services, and enabling organisations to make decisions grounded in evidence rather than instinct.
As a graduate in this team, you'll be doing work that matters from day one. Whether it's a service review that shapes how a health program is delivered, or an analysis that informs a major strategic decision, your contributions will have a tangible impact on real people and real organisations.
What You’ll Do
One of the best things about this role is that no two days are the same. You'll be working alongside experienced consultants on live client projects, picking up new skills quickly and contributing to work that genuinely makes a difference.
On any given day, you might be digging into a dataset to uncover trends in service demand or workforce performance, pulling together research to identify what best practice looks like in a particular sector, or helping to prepare materials for a client workshop or stakeholder consultation. You could be synthesising feedback gathered from frontline staff and executives, turning a complex set of findings into a clear and compelling set of recommendations, or helping to draft a report or business case that a client will use to drive real change.
You'll also get exposure to the day-to-day rhythm of consulting by supporting project planning, tracking progress, coordinating across teams and helping to keep things moving in a fast-paced environment. Throughout all of this, you'll be working closely with both clients and FTI colleagues, building relationships and developing the skills that will shape your career in data and AI consulting. Your day-to-day responsibilities may include:
Work closely with our team and clients to support the design and delivery of end-to-end analytics solutions, including problem framing and data acquisition through to modelling, insight generation, and executive-level storytelling for clients across multiple industries
Understanding, cleansing and analysing client data for use in visualisation and modelling. Understanding the relationships among multiple sources and types of data, and organising this information to facilitate effective data analysis
Contributing to the development of robust cloud-based data pipelines and platforms
Applying machine learning or statistical methods (regression, classification, clustering, forecasting, NLP, etc) to real business problems.
Developing advanced analytics and complex system models, e.g. discrete event and agent-based simulations, systems dynamics or optimisation
Understanding of how to make best use of LLMs and generative AI in a business context for clients and your own work
Develop dashboards and analytics solutions that generate measurable business value and are built to last beyond the engagement.
Preparing materials for client meetings, workshops, interviews and stakeholder consultations.
Capturing and synthesising stakeholder feedback from consultations with executives, clinicians, operational leaders, frontline staff, consumers and sector partners.
Developing clear, practical insights and recommendations to help clients improve how services are planned, delivered, governed and measured.
Assisting with the preparation of reports, presentations, business cases, implementation plans and other client deliverables.
Supporting project management activities, including planning, tracking actions, managing risks and coordinating inputs across the project team.
