Job Description
Market Intelligence Analyst
About Our Client
Our client is a growing manufacturing company with an expanding portfolio across multiple business segments. They are investing in building out a dedicated strategy capability - and this role sits at the center of that effort.
Why This Role Exists
The strategy team is at an inflection point. As the business grows across markets and product lines, leadership needs a dedicated function to make sense of what is happening externally - so that internal decisions are grounded in real intelligence, not assumption.
This is not a reporting role. Our client is not looking for someone to recycle what third-party research firms already published. They want someone who reads between the lines of an earnings transcript, notices what a competitor is not saying, and connects dots across industries that most people treat as separate.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Competitive and Market Monitoring: Keep a structured, ongoing view of what is happening across key markets - competitor moves, supply and demand shifts, regulatory changes, and macro signals that could affect positioning. Maintain living trackers that give business leaders a reliable, current picture without requiring them to dig.
Research Synthesis: Pull together intelligence from a wide range of inputs - industry publications, analyst reports, primary conversations, public filings - and turn it into something concise and usable. The deliverable is never a data dump; it is a clear point of view.
Strategic Project Support: Work alongside business unit and strategy leads on discrete projects where rigorous outside-in research is needed - market sizing, white space analysis, competitive benchmarking, and new area exploration.
Executive Communication: Translate findings into tight, well-structured outputs for senior leadership. A one-pager that earns five minutes of a CEO's attention is worth more than a fifty-slide deck that does not.
The Profile They Have in Mind
You have spent a few years - likely three to five - doing substantive analytical work in a context that required you to deal with ambiguity and incomplete information. That could be equity research, a strategy consulting role, an in-house market research function, or something comparable.
More important than the specific background is how you think. You are comfortable forming a view, defending it, and updating it when the evidence changes. You write clearly and do not hide behind jargon. You are organized enough to manage multiple workstreams without dropping things, and curious enough to care about industries you have never worked in before.
Experience with market data tools or platforms is useful but not a hard requirement.
Team and Reporting
This role sits within the central Strategy team and draws on - and contributes to - work happening across Marketing, Business Development, and Innovation. It is well-suited to someone who wants broad commercial exposure and the chance to build something from the ground up, not just maintain it.
