Junior Data Operations Analyst

We are hiring a Junior Data Operations Analyst to join our team in a fully remote capacity. This role supports our core commercial advisory work by managing the information pipelines that inform high stakes partnership decisions. Specifically, you will be assisting a project for a partner in Berlin, ensuring the data we use to evaluate counterparties and market dynamics is accurate and well organized. We value commercial judgment over theoretical models: your work will provide the evidence our partners need to give actionable advice to sovereign entities and family groups. What you will do

• Collect and organize data regarding counterparty behavior and market movements to support active client engagements.
• Maintain internal databases to ensure that commercial information is accurate and accessible for senior advisors.
• Assist in the preparation of briefing materials by extracting key facts from research reports and investment documents.
• Monitor changes in the regulatory environment within specific territories to help identify potential risks for our partners.
• Review data sets for inconsistencies or errors to ensure that the logic of our commercial advice remains sound.
• Collaborate with the research team to standardize how we document partnership structures and capital deployment history.
• Track the progress of joint venture negotiations through clear and consistent reporting on counterparty responses.
• Ensure all project related information is filed according to our internal standards for data integrity and security.

• Strong interest in how large scale investments and commercial partnerships function in the real world.
• Clear writing style with the ability to summarize complex information into direct, useful points.
• A logical approach to problem solving and the ability to spot patterns or discrepancies in sets of information.
• High attention to detail when managing spreadsheets, documents, and internal records.
• Experience using standard office software and basic data management tools from university projects or previous roles.
• The discipline to work effectively in a fully remote environment without constant direct supervision.
• A preference for practical evidence and ground reality over abstract theories or generic business models.
• Willingness to learn the specific commercial logic used in complex environments where state and private capital interact.

• The flexibility of a permanent, fully remote position that allows you to manage your work from your own environment.
• Direct exposure to senior partners and the chance to see how high stakes commercial decisions are actually settled.
• A competitive salary that is attractive for an entry level position in the current market.
• The opportunity to work on complex, real world problems rather than routine administrative tasks.
• A professional culture that prioritizes your commercial judgment and rewards clear, honest analysis.

Working at Gulf Associates Gulf Associates operates differently than standard global consultancies. We keep a small number of active engagements so that our senior team remains involved in every step of the process. Our culture is direct and professional, focusing on the actual results our clients achieve rather than the volume of reports we produce. We understand that in complex environments, success often depends on understanding the specific logic of how deals are made. You will be part of a team that values ground reality and evidence based positions. We encourage a quiet, focused working style where honesty about what the data shows is more important than telling a client what they want to hear. This is a place for those who prefer outcomes over output and value direct communication over corporate formatting.
