We're Hiring a Senior Research Analyst

SprintlyWorks is a fast-growing Nordic consulting firm known for high-impact work that helps clients solve complex business challenges. Our delivery teams work across industries, driving strategic transformations for leading companies.

About The Role

We are adding one senior researcher to our Market Research team. You will own consulting‑grade research reports end to end: scoping the question, structuring the storyline, running the primary and secondary research, and delivering a client‑ready report, typically within a two‑week cycle. This is a hands‑on role. You won't have a large back office or a library of ready‑made material behind you, so we are looking for someone who has built reports from a blank page and knows how the best strategy firms do it.

What You Will Do

• Scope and structure: Turn a client question into a research plan, issue tree and report storyline before the research starts.
• Secondary research: Build the fact base on markets, industries, competitors and trends from public sources, company filings, databases and industry reports/
• Primary research: Design interview guides and conduct interviews with client leadership, the client's in‑house analysts and subject‑matter experts, industry experts and customers. Synthesise what you hear into clear findings.
• Company deep dives: Review the client's internal documents, data and prior work to understand their starting point.
• Analysis and insight: Run market sizing, benchmarking, segmentation and value‑chain analyses, and turn the numbers into clear "so-what" recommendations.
• Report production: Independently write and build full‑length consulting reports, from executive summary to exhibits, ready for the client within a two‑week cycle.
• Quality control: Source every figure, check the numbers and keep the storyline consistent from page one to the appendix.
• Work with the consulting team: Share interim findings with partners and project leads, take feedback and iterate quickly.
• Build the research engine: Help shape our research process, templates and reusable assets as the team grows

What We Are Looking For

Must have

• 5+ years in research roles, ideally in the research or knowledge teams of a strategy consulting firm (MBB, Tier-2 or boutique), or in a corporate strategy research function.
• A track record of independently authoring full‑length consulting or industry reports. You will be asked to share one or two sanitised samples.
• Hands‑on experience planning and conducting expert and stakeholder interviews.
• Structured, hypothesis‑driven problem solving (issue trees, pyramid principle, storylining).
• Excellent business writing in English.
• Advanced PowerPoint and Excel skills.
• Comfortable working without large proprietary databases: you know how to find, triangulate and validate data yourself.

Nice to have

• MBA or relevant Master's degree.
• Experience with research databases and AI research tools.
• Depth in one or more industries, or familiarity with Nordic and European markets.
• Experience presenting findings directly to clients.

Why Join Us?

• Own your work: your reports go straight to clients and shape real strategic decisions.
• Work closely with partners and senior consultants, not behind layers of process.
• Help build the research function of a growing consulting firm.
• Competitive compensation, performance-based incentives and growth opportunities.
• Flexible work arrangements and a collaborative culture
