About the role

Euromonitor International is currently hiring for an Associate Consultant or a Consultant to join its Dubai office full‑time. The Associate Consultant/Consultant will lead and support the research through unique autonomy in project design and client management. She/he will also work closely with our syndicated industry experts to bring our best in client service and industry knowledge. The incumbent will report to a Consulting Manager in Dubai with day‑to‑day reporting for specific projects to other Consultants primarily but not limited to the MEAI region. The primary function of the AC/C role is to run ad‑hoc consulting engagements by managing the research and fact‑gathering process, analysing and synthesising findings and developing deliverables. The AC/C’s objective is to successfully execute the objectives of custom research projects with our clients. Euromonitor works with the leading industry players across different verticals and provides a diverse set of custom research solutions. The individual must be a self‑starting, critical thinker with a structured yet creative approach to problem solving and an eye for detail.

Why work for Euromonitor?

Our Values: We seek individuals who act with integrity. We look for candidates who are curious about the world. We feel that as a community, we’re stronger together. We seek to enable people to feel empowered. We welcome candidates who bring strength in diversity.

Hardworking and sociable: our staff know how to work hard and know also how to enjoy themselves! We pride ourselves on creating an appropriate work‑life balance, with flexible hours and regular socialising including frequent after‑work meet‑ups, summer and Christmas parties and a whole range of other groups to be involved with. Committed to making a difference: We believe that people are looking for something worthwhile in a company beyond the workplace. Our extensive Corporate Social Responsibility Programme gives each member of staff two volunteering days a year in addition to holidays. It gives all new starters a donation amount on joining us which they can give to a charity of their choice. It sees us reaching out into the local community with our mentoring, group volunteering, and fundraising initiatives as well as supporting international charities through our website sales, matching staff sponsorship fundraising, and carbon offsetting all our flights.

Excellent benefits: we offer competitive salaries, enhanced healthcare and pensions, plus generous holiday allowances, hybrid working and, in many offices, a Core Hours policy allowing flexible start and finish times to each day. Opportunities to grow: we offer extensive training and development opportunities at all levels. The vast majority of our Managers and Directors have been promoted from within and many have moved across departments as well as upwards. We pride ourselves on identifying and rewarding talent.
