Junior Data Analyst

Role overview

Gulf Associates is seeking a Junior Data Analyst to strengthen its commercial advisory work and support advanced data handling. The firm helps clients make practical decisions by focusing on market realities rather than generic summaries or purely theoretical frameworks. In this role, you will help analyze capital flows and partnership structures for a Berlin-based partner so the team can shape a clear commercial stance. This is a full-time, permanent position that is fully remote. Your work will help convert raw market information into evidence that senior partners can rely on during real negotiations.

Key responsibilities

• Collect, extract, and structure information from public records and proprietary market intelligence sources.
• Spot trends in how counterparties and competitors behave within a defined territory.
• Develop and update tracking sheets that monitor capital deployment by sovereign entities and private family groups.
• Prepare charts and summary tables that simplify complex information and surface important commercial risks.
• Check investment models to make sure the assumptions and logic reflect current market conditions.
• Join internal discussions and help turn analytical findings into practical recommendations for clients.
• Verify the accuracy of numbers included in reports sent to chief executives and other decision makers.
• Support scenario planning by modeling different commercial outcomes as market conditions and counterparty actions change.

Candidate profile

The ideal candidate has academic or project-based experience working with datasets and identifying useful patterns. You should be confident with spreadsheets and careful about preserving data accuracy. Strong writing skills are important, especially the ability to produce brief, polished summaries without unnecessary technical language. A real interest in how global investments are structured and carried out in practice is essential, along with the discipline to manage detailed research and data-cleaning work independently. You should also be comfortable handling confidential material related to high-level partnerships and sovereign capital, and prefer practical, real-world answers over purely academic models. Since the team works remotely, clear written communication is a core part of day-to-day collaboration.

What the company offers

• 100% remote work with substantial flexibility and autonomy.
• Direct interaction with senior partners who remain closely involved in the work.
• A competitive entry-level salary for this sector.
• The chance to contribute to complex projects that influence large-scale capital deployment.
• A work culture that values commercial judgment and direct communication.

About the team culture

Gulf Associates focuses on outcomes rather than volume. The team values direct communication, honest evaluation, and insights that lead to actionable commercial positions. Because the group is fully remote, trust and clear documentation are essential. Junior team members get visibility into how senior leaders approach difficult negotiations and how data is used in a boardroom context. The pace is fast when a deal is active, and everyone is expected to think with ownership. Success is measured by the results that follow the advice given, whether that means a signed agreement or a successful commercial launch.
