About the job

Fairmont Consulting Group is a fast-growing Boston and D.C.-based firm focused on merger and acquisition (M&A) due diligence and strategic advisory services for private equity, investor, and corporate clients active in the aerospace, defense, and government services sectors. We are currently seeking applicants from Analysts through Senior Associates. Successful applicants will support engagements through market research, competitive analysis, database development, and other related activities commensurate with their role and experience. They will be an integral part of our project teams, and our team members frequently interact directly with our clients as well as industry stakeholders.

At Fairmont, you’ll find a very entrepreneurial and collegial working environment, with an atmosphere of trust, respect, and collaboration. We enjoy our work and share a passion for making a positive impact on our clients and the aerospace and defense industry as a whole. Our work products are rigorously analytical, highly customized, creative, insightful, and address our clients’ most challenging questions around corporate-level strategy and acquisitions. The nature of our engagements is such that we spend the majority of our time working from our own Boston or Washington D.C. offices, with travel limited to a few days each month. Ensuring a good work-life balance for everyone on the team is a key founding tenet of our firm.

Fairmont provides generous benefits, including medical and dental insurance, a 401K match, ten holidays, and four weeks of personal leave (split between discretionary PTO and firm holidays). But what really sets our firm apart from the others is our positive work/life balance, small company environment, and opportunity to make a real impact on the firm, our clients, and our industry.
