Junior Data Operations Analyst

We are looking for a Junior Data Operations Analyst to join our team in a permanent, fully remote capacity. This role is focused on the practical management of information that supports our commercial advisory work. Our partner is a major financial services provider, and you will spend much of your time ensuring the data we use for their strategy is accurate and ready for use in high level decision support. We value commercial judgment over theoretical models: your goal is to provide the ground reality that our senior partners need when they sit in the room with chief executives and sovereign entities. This is a paid position, and the compensation is competitive for the entry level market.

What you will do

• Organize and clean large datasets related to counterparty behavior and historical investment patterns.
• Verify the accuracy of information regarding corporate structures and capital deployment in the territory.
• Support senior partners by preparing concise data summaries for use in high stakes negotiation meetings.
• Monitor specific market feeds to track changes in the regulatory environment and competitor activity.
• Maintain internal databases to ensure all client facing reports are based on the most current facts available.
• Assist in building scenario models that help our clients evaluate the risks of new entry or joint ventures.
• Coordinate with the research team to identify gaps in available data and find reliable secondary sources.
• Ensure all operational data is formatted correctly for presentation to senior leadership and sovereign partners.

What you bring

• Strong logical thinking and an ability to spot inconsistencies within complex documents or spreadsheets.
• Reliability in a fully remote working environment: you can manage your own schedule and meet deadlines.
• High level of comfort with common data organization tools and basic quantitative analysis.
• A clear and direct writing style for internal notes, data summaries, and briefing documents.
• Commercial curiosity about how large entities, such as family groups or sovereign funds, operate in the market.
• Academic background or equivalent interest in finance, economics, or information management.
• Persistence when searching for hard to find information about private companies or market players.
• Attention to detail that ensures every number and name in a report has been double checked for accuracy.

What we offer

• The flexibility of a fully remote role with no requirement to visit a physical office.
• Direct exposure to the work of senior partners who are involved in every stage of a deal.
• A professional environment that values results and clear commercial judgment over corporate fluff.
• The opportunity to see how data directly influences major investment and partnership decisions.
• A stable, permanent position with a firm that prioritizes ground reality and actionable advice.

Working at Gulf Associates
Gulf Associates thrives on directness and honesty. Our partners stay involved in the work from start to finish: we do not hand off projects to junior staff and disappear. As a Junior Data Operations Analyst, you will see how your research and data hygiene contribute to a signed agreement or a major operational launch. We hold a small book of active engagements to ensure we can focus on the logic of each deal. This creates an environment where you are measured on the quality and accuracy of your work rather than the volume of reports you produce. Because we operate entirely remotely, we value people who are disciplined and can communicate clearly without the need for constant supervision. We are comfortable being measured on the results that follow our advice, and we expect our team to take that same pride in the accuracy of their data.
