The Research Analyst will act as part of the company knowledge brain, producing industry studies, regulatory intelligence, market maps, client briefing material and original insight that strengthens consulting, sales, thought leadership and product development. The role is not a content writing position. It requires structured research, evidence, financial and industry analysis, clear synthesis and the ability to turn information into useful commercial and advisory insight.

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, sceptical of weak evidence and comfortable moving between numbers, regulation, business models and written analysis. We want someone who asks better questions, can find and evaluate credible information quickly, and can turn scattered data into an executive level point of view.

2 to 4 years of experience in research, strategy, consulting, equity research, transaction advisory, market intelligence, economic research or a professional services knowledge team.

Technical Skills

• 1. Structured industry and company research using primary and secondary sources.
• 2. Financial statement analysis, benchmarking and interpretation of market or operating data.
• 3. Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills with the ability to present evidence clearly.
• 4. Ability to use databases, public filings, government sources and research platforms efficiently.
• 5. Strong written synthesis, source discipline and executive presentation skills.
• 6. Practical use of AI research tools with verification, citation and confidentiality controls.

Preferred Skills

• 1. Experience in Big 4, consulting, investment research, knowledge management or strategy teams.
• 2. Exposure to UAE, GCC or India market research and regulatory environments.
• 3. Experience producing original surveys, indices, industry reports or thought leadership.
• 4. Ability to work across multiple sectors rather than being limited to one narrow industry.
