We are seeking a Junior Data Quality Analyst to support our commercial advisory work for a Munich-based industrial client. In this role, you will help ensure the information we use to support complex investment decisions is accurate and reliable. As a fully remote team member, you will contribute to engagements where ground reality and commercial judgment are prioritized over abstract theory. You will work alongside senior partners who are involved in every step of the process, from initial research to final negotiation support.
Gulf Associates provides advisory services focused on partnership decisions and capital deployment. We work with family groups and sovereign entities on high-stakes tasks like joint ventures and new market entry. Because these environments operate on a specific logic where state capital often sits inside private deals, our work depends on the accuracy of the data we collect. This role is fundamental to maintaining the integrity of that information. The position is full-time and provides a competitive salary that is attractive for the entry-level market.
What you will do
Our firm operates on the belief that commercial judgment is more valuable than standard consultancy reports. We avoid the common pitfalls of global corporate entities: instead, we focus on the specific logic and ground realities of the markets where our clients operate. Our culture is direct and honest, prioritizing the actual results of an engagement, whether that is a signed agreement or an operational launch. We hold a small book of active engagements to ensure senior partners remain involved in the work from start to finish. For someone starting their career, this means a chance to see how high-stakes decisions are actually made and how data supports successful outcomes in the room.
We look for individuals who are comfortable being measured on the results of their work. The role of a Junior Data Quality Analyst is to provide the bedrock of verified information that our partners use during regulator conversations and negotiations. By providing clear and reliable data, you enable the firm to take positions that a client can actually act on. Accuracy in this role prevents costly mistakes and ensures that our advice remains rooted in the reality of counterparty behavior. Successful team members are those who take pride in the precision of their research and understand the weight that their findings carry in a commercial context.
