The work may include market research, competitor analysis, customer studies, industry tracking, surveys, benchmarking exercises, and performance reviews.

Success in this role depends on strong analytical thinking, close attention to detail, and the ability to communicate findings clearly. This position is centered on research, analysis, and reporting, rather than sales, consulting, or operational delivery.

• Support surveys, benchmarking exercises, and other research assignments.
• Track relevant developments, trends, and performance metrics.
• Share findings and recommendations with key stakeholders.
• Keep research files, notes, and documentation accurate and well organized.
• Assist with strategic planning and decision-making activities.

Qualifications and profile

The ideal candidate should bring strong analytical and critical thinking skills, along with the ability to collect, interpret, and present information effectively. Good problem-solving ability, accuracy, and attention to detail are important.

Strong written and verbal communication skills are needed, along with the ability to handle multiple tasks and deadlines. Familiarity with spreadsheets, reporting tools, or common research methods would be an advantage. A curious mindset and willingness to learn about industries and markets are also valuable.

A background in Business, Economics, Finance, Social Sciences, Data Analytics, or a closely related field is preferred.
