QUAL: We are seeking a unique individual who can be a self starter, creative and an independent thinker, while still working collaboratively with, and taking guidance from, the firm’s senior partners. Research projects at times may be loosely defined, and may require the incumbent to add further value and definition as the work progresses.

The successful candidate will:

  • Have strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Be innately curious and interested in learning about new companies, business issues, industry trends, etc.
  • Be self-motivated with proven ability to effectively work with diverse personalities
  • Be an effective communicator: PowerPoint, informal meetings, email, etc.
  • Be comfortable working in a small office environment, where “everyone does everything,” and on small client project teams
  • An MLS or equivalent degree is highly desirable.
  • 3+ years business research and solid familiarity with business concepts is essential.

DUTIES: The person in this position will be responsible for conducting industry, company and competitive research; collecting and extracting insight from client and third party data; and, as appropriate, working with client managers to identify and capture critical information.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Provide timely and accurate research in response to broad-based research project direction
  • Research, analyze, and synthesize information from diverse and sometimes conflicting sources
  • Effectively summarize research results into clear findings.
  • Effectively package research results into appropriate client-ready formats, typically including Powerpoint and/or Excel
  • Maintain careful and detailed source references and paper trail
  • Develop knowledge of information sources for the industry sectors of our firm’s clients.

Our small, successful specialty executive development consulting firm is seeking to hire a Business Information Specialist to provide dedicated research support on business and management issues and industry trends. For the right candidate, this represents a tremendous professional growth opportunity, working directly alongside senior partners in creating value for our clients and in contributing to the growth of our firm.

SALARY: We offer attractive compensation, an informal work environment, and we are amenable to candidates who require flexible work hours or are seeking a part time position (~30 hours).

TO APPLY: Send resume in confidence to: recruiting@wilsonalan.com

DEADLINE: Not stated.
