Ericsson is a telecommunications and technology company seeking a Strategic Business Advisory Analyst to support high-impact strategy engagements. The role owns analytical workstreams, analyzes business and network data, develops recommendations, and translates complex technical topics into clear business insights while collaborating with cross-functional teams and customers.

What you'll do:

• Own defined workstreams within customer and internal strategy engagements — from scoping and data gathering through analysis, synthesis, and recommendations
• Analyze business, network, market, and competitive data to identify performance gaps, opportunities, risks, and implications for technology investments
• Contribute to executive-ready presentations that translate complex technical topics into concise business insights
• Support customer engagements on topics such as RAN modernization, TCO optimization, 5G and fiber convergence, and emerging use cases
• Apply structured problem-solving to develop hypotheses, test assumptions, and build well-supported conclusions
• Build reusable analyses, dashboards, models, and templates to improve quality and reduce turnaround time
• Collaborate with technical experts, sales teams, and cross-functional partners to connect technology performance with business value
• Document methods, assumptions, and outcomes so insights can be replicated and improved
• Participate in team knowledge sharing and contribute to a culture of learning and high-quality delivery

What they're looking for:

• 1–2 years of experience in strategy consulting, business analysis, corporate strategy, analytics, or a comparable field; strong internship or project experience will also be considered
• Strong quantitative and problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop evidence-based conclusions from incomplete information
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain analysis to non-technical audiences
• Demonstrated accountability, attention to detail, and openness to feedback and continuous improvement
• Curiosity about telecommunications, networks, cloud, AI, or digital infrastructure
• Sound judgment, professionalism, and respect for confidential information
• Ability to work primarily from the Plano, TX hub with occasional travel as needed
• Bachelor's degree in business, economics, engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, or a related discipline; advanced degree is a plus
• Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets and presentation tools such as PowerPoint; familiarity with data visualization or BI tools is a plus
• Comfort working with structured and unstructured data; exposure to SQL or Python is an advantage

Benefits:

• Opportunity for an annual bonus through the Short-Term Variable Compensation Plan, subject to business and individual performance, bonus targets, eligibility, and pro-ration rules.
• Choice of three medical plan options and a dental plan option.
• Company credits equal to the cost Ericsson pays toward medical and dental premiums for employees and eligible covered dependents.
• Automatic 3% company contribution to the Ericsson US 401(k) Plan.

• When employees contribute at least 5% of eligible pay, Ericsson provides full matching contributions of 4%, subject to IRS limits.
• Company credits equal to the cost of basic life insurance, basic accidental death and dismemberment coverage, and short-term and long-term disability coverage.
• Option to participate in Ericsson’s Stock Purchase Plan.
• Minimum of 15 days of accrued vacation for new employees.
