AI Business Analyst – Research & Strategy

Haneco Lighting Australia – Sydney CBD NSW

Haneco is seeking an AI Business Analyst to turn business ideas and project briefs into well-researched, practical recommendations.

Working directly with the business owner, you will receive the background, objectives and available information for a project, then take responsibility for investigating it. You will identify what else needs to be understood, gather reliable information and use AI and analytical tools to assess the opportunity.

Your work will help the owner decide whether an idea is viable, what it would require and how it could be progressed. Depending on the project, your deliverables may include a feasibility assessment, business case, business plan, analytical report or presentation.

This is a hands-on research and analysis role requiring advanced AI capability, commercial judgement and the ability to work independently from an initial brief through to a completed recommendation.
