<h3>About the Client</h3>

<p> </p>

<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">We're hiring a research-driven analyst to support execution across multiple concurrent client engagements — spanning legal AI, litigation consulting, and luxury ground transportation — producing executive-ready research and business development deliverables with minimal oversight.</p>

<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">This is not an administrative or EA role. It's a research analyst function that also touches sales development: sourcing decision-maker contacts, drafting outreach, and building PM dashboards to track it all.</p>

<h3>Responsibilities</h3>

<ul>

<li>Conduct multi-source market and competitive intelligence research (e.g., mapping vendor ecosystems, ranking competitors in fragmented markets), with full citations and transparent sourcing</li>

<li>Go beyond data collection to synthesize findings into patterns, trends, and clear "must-have" recommendations — surface-level, AI-generated-feeling summaries are not sufficient</li>

<li>Source executive and decision-maker contacts (LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, or equivalent) and draft personalized, research-informed outreach/cold emails</li>

<li>Pre-answer discovery questions ahead of sales meetings using public intelligence, flagging open questions and positioning insights</li>

<li>Build and maintain project plans and Gantt charts (Monday.com or comparable) with phases, milestones, dependencies, timelines, risks, and KPIs — readable by leadership at a glance</li>

<li>Produce competitive teardowns and comparison materials (positioning, differentiators, target verticals, UX walkthroughs with screenshots, comparison tables)</li>

<li>Context-switch cleanly across unrelated client accounts and industries without losing rigor or voice</li>

</ul>

<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Comfortable drafting personalized outreach/cold emails as part of a research deliverable</li>
