Company description

Qatalyst represents a new name and a new operating model for a firm with a long operating history. Under our former name, FWCO Management Consultants, we have been providing management consulting services to public, non-profit and private sector clients across Canada for more than 30 years, first through our former subsidiary, Ference Weicker & Company Ltd., and more recently in association with Goss Gilroy Inc.

Our mission at Qatalyst is to deliver leading-edge consulting services in a rapidly changing world. We have built an extensive network of consulting associates (enabling us to quickly bring a wide range of highly specialized expertise to bear on a particular project), made significant investments in new technologies (upgrading our capabilities in natural language programming, text, social media, big data, predicative analytics, visualization, and artificial intelligence software), and greatly expanded our research capabilities. Today, Qatalyst brings together over 100 consulting associates based throughout Canada and internationally. Find out more by visiting our website: https://Qatalyst.ca

Qatalyst connects our growing network of associates with our in-house team of consultants. While we provide a wide range of services for a diverse client base, our core business operations include program evaluation, performance measurement, program design and strategic and business planning and sector and regional studies.

We are interested in strengthening our team by adding additional members from communities across Canada and broadening the range of expertise and languages in which we can conduct research. We typically hire researchers on a project by project basis, on a part-time (e.g. 5 to 25 hours per week) or full-time basis for the duration of the research. There may be opportunities to progress into full-time or part-time permanent positions.

We are looking for an ambitious and independent researcher who can add value to our initiatives and participate in various assignments undertaken by our team. Our researchers work directly with the most senior members of our team.

• Conducting document, file and literature reviews;
• Assisting project managers with logistics (scheduling/communication);
• Conducting qualitative and quantitative data analysis; and
• Final analysis and report writing.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Superb time management, analytical and writing skills;
• Solid understanding of research methodologies;
• Great communication skills and ability to work with a diverse set of highly skilled professionals in a team-based environment;
• Innovative, curious, ambitious and problem-solving personality;
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, SPSS and survey software (e.g. Survey Monkey);

Fluency in other languages is an asset as is experience in working in and with Indigenous communities.

Compensation may vary by project but typically ranges from $16 per hour to $25 per hour for a junior researcher position. Our office is located in downtown Vancouver but you would be working remotely.
