About Consulting at F&T Labs

If you're new to consulting, we want to help you understand what makes F&T Labs different and why our approach might be perfect for you. We know transitioning from government and non-profit to consulting can be a big step, but we've designed our work environment to blend the best of both worlds.

First, let's talk about how we work. Unlike traditional consulting firms, we hire you for a role, not a specific project. This means you can contribute to various initiatives that match your expertise and interests. Think of it as bringing your public health superpowers to different challenges where they're needed most.

We believe in measuring what matters. While many consulting firms focus on billable hours, we care about the quality and impact of your work. Time sheets don't measure your success with us – it's measured by the meaningful solutions you help create for our clients and their communities.

Yes, we have utilization targets (consulting speak for how much of your time is spent on client work), but we view these as guideposts rather than strict rules. They help us ensure we're making a sustainable impact while maintaining a healthy business. These targets are meant to motivate, not to create stress.

One of the most dynamic aspects of consulting is its natural rhythm. Some weeks might be bustling with activity, while others might be quieter. We embrace these ebbs and flows because they create space for both intense, focused work and time for learning, reflection, and personal growth. This is part of our philosophy that work and life shouldn't be at odds – they should be integrated in a sustainable and energizing way.

At our core, we're built on a simple belief: when our team members flourish, our clients flourish, and ultimately, communities thrive. That's why we've created an environment that supports your growth, values your expertise, and understands that the best solutions come from people who feel empowered and energized by their work.

If you're passionate about public health and excited about the possibility of expanding your impact through consulting, we'd love to talk with you. Your experience in public health is valuable, and we're here to help you apply it in new and meaningful ways.

Solutions Analyst / Business Analyst

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TEAM MEMBER WITH GOVERNMENT PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERIENCE, IDEALLY IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AT A LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT. IF YOU HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE, PLEASE ENSURE IT IS CLEAR ON YOUR RESUME.

Compensation Note: If a salary range is listed for this position, please note that we will offer at the starting point of the band. We cover 100% of your health insurance!

Role Overview

We're seeking a Solutions Analyst who deeply understands how public health departments work and can translate that understanding into technology solutions that actually fit their needs. This role goes beyond gathering requirements. It requires immersing yourself in the workflows, challenges, and realities of public health practice, then figuring out how technology can make things better.

We're especially interested in candidates who have worked in environmental health programs at a local health department. You know what it's like to manage inspections, track permits, navigate compliance workflows, and juggle the reporting demands that come with environmental health. That firsthand experience will shape how you approach every solution you design.

This is a role for someone who naturally translates needs into action. You're the person who listens to a health department director describe their frustrations and can see the solution taking shape. You're the one who watches staff navigate a clunky process and immediately starts thinking about how it could work better. You take the messy, complex reality of public health operations and turn it into clear direction for a technical team to build against. If you've ever found yourself thinking \"I know exactly what they need, I just need to explain it in a way the developers will understand,\" this role is for you.

You'll work on our PH360 platform and various client initiatives, serving as the critical bridge between what health departments need and what our technical teams build. Your lived experience in governmental public health will help you ask the right questions, spot the real problems behind stated requests, and advocate for solutions that work in the real world.

We're looking for someone who thinks holistically about problems, can synthesize input from multiple stakeholders, and isn't afraid to push back when a proposed solution doesn't quite fit. As a consulting firm, we value candidates who are passionate and eager to dive into the work. While this role focuses on solutions analysis, you
