The Junior Business Analyst position provides essential research and logistical support to our principals as they advise high-level corporate boards. The role exists to ensure that every mandate we accept is grounded in rigorous investigation and clear financial logic. Much of your initial work will focus on a specific project where our client is a regulated entity seeking a perspective on its corporate governance and future portfolio clarity.
About Arabian Private Holdings
Arabian Private Holdings was founded to solve critical business problems that do not fit the traditional large-firm consulting model. We believe that boards and family groups do not need massive teams or hundreds of pages of methodology to make a decision. Instead, they require experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for significant holding companies, listed corporations, and government entities. We operate as a principal-led firm, meaning the people doing the analysis are the ones accountable for the results. We maintain a remote structure to ensure our focus remains on the quality of our independent advice rather than office management or headcount growth.
What you will do
- Conduct research on industry trends and regulatory changes that affect our current mandates.
- Organize complex data sets into simple structures to help principals form a view on client challenges.
- Monitor the performance of portfolio companies to identify potential risks or shifts in strategy.
- Support the review of operating model efficiency for holding companies and established corporations.
- Prepare clear, concise briefing notes that summarize high-level governance issues for the senior team.
- Participate in internal discussions to help refine the firm's perspective on complex corporate problems.
- Maintain documentation for ongoing projects to ensure analytical consistency across the firm.
- Assist in drafting the logic for independent advice documents tailored for founders and board members.
- A high degree of curiosity regarding how large businesses and entities function and grow.
- Exceptional clarity of thought and the ability to distinguish between relevant facts and noise.
- Strong written precision in English, with a focus on simplicity, directness, and logic.
- Basic proficiency with data tools to help organize financial and operational information.
- A willingness to admit when a problem or industry is outside your current understanding.
- The ability to work independently in a fully remote environment while staying in constant communication.
Arabian Private Holdings is proof that high-level advisory work does not require a physical office. We operate as a remote firm by choice, allowing us to recruit talent based on intelligence and character rather than proximity to a headquarters. This model relies on direct communication and a total lack of internal bureaucracy. We value honesty and independence, both in our advice to clients and in our internal professional critiques. While this is an entry-level position, you will be involved in significant mandates from the start. Mentoring happens through direct involvement in complex problems rather than through disconnected training modules. Success in this environment requires a person who is comfortable with high levels of autonomy and who takes pride in the precision of their written work.
What the role offers
- Direct exposure to the decision-making processes of board members and portfolio founders.
- A permanent, fully remote position that allows for a flexible working environment.
- Paid employment with a competitive salary for the entry-level market and advisory sector.
- Development of analytical skills through the study of complex corporate governance and operating models.
- A professional environment focused on substantive results rather than internal corporate politics.
