confidence to contribute and be successful in a broad range of project types and client situations. Thereby, we have designed our interview process to assess the breadth of capabilities required for success at Clarion.

 

Our interview process involves multiple rounds of interviews. Interviews are a two-way process where we get to learn more about you, your professional accomplishments, and interests, as you discover what #ClarionCulture is and showcase your authentic self.

FAQ

Common FAQs for potential candidates

I do not see the position I would like to apply for listed on your website. How can I apply for this position?  

Are interviews in person at the Clarion Boston office, or virtual? 

  • Interviews are currently virtual with in-person interviews increasing in the future.

What are the expectations for in-office presence after the pandemic / return to office?

  • Clarion works in a strategically flexible hybrid model. While we have no specific requirements for in-office attendance, we encourage use of the office as much as possible, particularly for the purpose of collaboration, firm events, and professional development. Please note, our entry-level positions are expected to reside in the Metro-Boston area (and commuting distance to our office in Boston’s Seaport district).

When will applications for PROPEL be open?

  • We typically begin accepting applications for our PROPEL leadership training program for Ph.D., Postdocs and M.D.s two months before the application deadline. Applications for our experienced professional positions are accepted on a rolling basis, and not subject to a specific deadline.

Do you have an internship program? When do applications open? Do you only have a summer program?

  • Clarion’s Summer Internship Program occurs over ten weeks from June to August, and is open to students entering their final year of an undergraduate or M.A./M.B.A. program following their internship summer. Recruiting for this program occurs during the traditional fall recruiting cycle.

What does Clarion do to support diversity within the firm?

  • We recognize the value of a diverse firm and the positive impact that diversity has on our work product and culture. We have a DE&I working group to support internal programming, and we have recently engaged a third-party group to support internal DE&I initiatives (including, but not limited to training). In recruiting, we strive to attract and appeal to a broad range of diverse backgrounds across a number of dimensions: gender, ethnicity, socio-economic, academic, and including diversity of thought. Currently we are ~70% female across the organization. We support many professional organizations and associations and the involvement of our employees, like the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association (HBA).  Visit DEI@Clarion page to learn more.
