Data Reporting Assistant

We are looking for a Data Reporting Assistant to support our internal teams as we provide advisory services for a key partner. Our partner is a global financial entity currently managing complex investment decisions and partnership structures. In this role, you will be responsible for organizing information and drafting reports that allow our senior advisors to form a clear commercial judgment. This is a permanent, full-time position that is performed entirely remotely. You will assist in translating raw data into the ground reality of how different counterparties are behaving, ensuring that our clients have the information they need to act on high-stakes decisions.

What you will do

• Gathering and organizing commercial data from multiple sources to support counterparty analysis and investment reviews.
• Creating and updating periodic reports that track market activity and competitor moves within specific territories.
• Drafting clear tables, charts, and summaries to be included in client-facing memos and decision support documents.
• Verifying the accuracy of research findings by cross-referencing information from official filings and reliable news sources.
• Organizing internal documentation to ensure that project data is easily accessible to senior partners during negotiations.
• Assisting with basic financial data entry and cleanup to maintain the integrity of our internal tracking systems.
• Monitoring relevant news cycles and providing concise summaries on events that could affect our partner's commercial position.
• Supporting the preparation of scenario work for sovereign entities and large family groups by providing relevant background data.

What you bring

• A logical mindset and a genuine interest in how large-scale investments and partnerships are structured.
• The ability to write in a clear, direct, and professional manner without using unnecessary corporate jargon.
• High attention to detail when working with numbers and text to ensure every report is accurate and reliable.
• Basic proficiency with spreadsheet software and the ability to learn new research tools quickly.
• A disciplined approach to work that allows you to remain productive while working in a fully remote environment.
• Strong organizational skills to keep track of various data points and document versions across multiple work streams.
• Background in business, economics, or a related field through studies, internships, or personal interest.
• A focus on facts and evidence rather than theoretical models or generic market predictions.

What we offer

• The flexibility of a fully remote role where you can manage your own workspace and daily schedule.
• Direct exposure to senior-level commercial advisory work and the decision-making processes of a global financial entity.
• A professional environment that values honest communication and commercial judgment over volume of output.
• The chance to see how your research and reporting directly contribute to the outcome of significant investments.
• Competitive pay for an entry-level position within the professional services sector.

Working at Gulf Associates

Gulf Associates is a specialized firm that avoids the standard approaches of large consultancy groups. We believe that most strategy work is too focused on theoretical models that do not survive contact with the real world. Instead, we prioritize commercial judgment and an understanding of how deals actually get settled. Our partners stay involved in every part of the work, from the first piece of research to the final negotiation. We maintain a small list of active engagements to ensure that our focus remains on the quality of our advice. Because we work with sovereign entities and large private family groups, we operate with a specific logic where state interests and private capital often intersect. Our culture is direct and professional, focusing on producing work that a client can actually use to make a decision. We value results and clear evidence of how competitors are behaving right now. This role is a chance to learn that mindset and contribute to a team that values ground reality over the view from a distant head office.
