At Christensen Associates, we solve complex, real-world problems using creativity, rigorous academic training, and deep institutional knowledge. We analyze and strategize. We collaborate and innovate. We make a big impact in the work of our clients, our fellow associates, and those in our community. And we enjoy every minute.
All of which simply wouldn’t be possible without our exceptionally talented team. Step in our office and you’ll meet some of the best and brightest individuals with creative, yet analytical minds. Strong communication skills and even stronger technical skills. Amazing senses of humor. And a passion for solving complex, real-world problems. People just like you.
We firmly believe that being a great place to work is a prerequisite to producing great work. That’s why we’ve invested so much time, energy, and resources into making our company culture as engaging, rewarding, flexible, and fun as possible. Are you a softball, volleyball, bowling, or running fan? We’ve got stellar company teams that would love you on their side. Want to sharpen your skills through a professional development course or conference? We’ll help make it happen. Struggling with a particularly complex data analysis problem? Pop into the office next door and ask a data scientist for a hand—they’d be happy to help. Worked an especially long week? Enjoy an especially long weekend. Because, as an employee-owned firm, we’ve never lost sight of what’s important—loving what you do, where you do it, and who you do it with. It’s why more than half of our staff has been with the firm for more than fifteen years.
Creative thinkers. Innovative analyzers. Academic overachievers. Our firm is filled with some of the best and brightest in the business: economists, statisticians, data scientists, professors, and administrators. We collaborate with each other. We learn from one another. And together we develop innovative solutions to our clients’ most complex problems. One week you might be working on cost and demand analyses for a utility company, the next you might be creating econometric forecasting models for the USPS. Whatever your workload looks like, one thing is certain—you’ll be supported by a team of incredibly talented individuals who will go out of their way to help you succeed.
You can find our office on the fourth floor of a state-of-the-art, LEED-certified building in the heart of Madison, Wisconsin. The space is bright, open, and features a combination of collaborative workspaces, private offices, and large conference rooms. It also has a fully equipped kitchen and lunchroom, but if you’re craving something specific, there’s a dozen restaurants serving culturally diverse cuisines within a half-mile radius—it’s just another benefit of working and living in a city that consistently ranks as one of the top places in the country for everything from biking to food carts. We can’t wait for you to experience it.
