Business Research & Special Projects Associate Part-Time / Remote
About the Role
We are looking for a curious, resourceful and ambitious person to work closely with our team on business research, opportunity development and various special projects across multiple businesses and GCC markets.
This is an opportunity to gain hands-on entrepreneurial experience and learn how businesses are researched, evaluated, launched and developed across different industries and international markets.
The work will be varied and sometimes unstructured. You should enjoy figuring out how to approach new challenges rather than simply following predefined instructions.
Extensive experience is not required. We are looking for someone with strong potential, initiative and willingness to learn.
What You’ll Do
• Research international companies, products, industries and market opportunities
• Identify and evaluate potential vendors and business partners
• Find relevant decision-makers and reach out via email and LinkedIn
• Analyze competitors, market trends and business models
• Prepare concise research summaries, comparisons and recommendations
• Support special projects and help solve operational challenges
• Help turn new tasks and ideas into actionable plans
• Use AI tools to research, analyze information and improve productivity
Who We’re Looking For
• University students in their final years, recent graduates or early-career professionals
• Strong analytical thinking, curiosity and problem-solving skills
• Good written and spoken English
• Ability to research independently and organize information clearly
• Comfortable using ChatGPT and other AI tools, Google Workspace, LinkedIn and online research resources
• Proactive, reliable and willing to learn
• Previous experience in business research, startups, consulting or business development is an advantage, but not required
We value intelligence, initiative, resourcefulness and ownership more than formal qualifications or years of experience.
What We Offer
• Fully remote, flexible part-time work
• Monthly compensation: €200–300, depending on working hours, experience and capabilities
• Exposure to multiple businesses, industries and international markets
• Hands-on experience in business research, partnerships and new ventures
• Opportunity to learn modern AI-powered research and productivity tools
• Increasing responsibility and independence as your capabilities develop
• Potential to grow into a full-time Founder’s Associate or business/project management role
Application Questions
Please include short answers to the following questions in your application:
- Give an example of something you researched or solved independently. What did you do?
- Imagine we want to find international healthcare software companies interested in entering Saudi Arabia. How would you approach this?
- Which AI tools do you use, and how?
We are interested in how you think, learn and approach challenges not just your previous job titles.
