Data Analysis Internship Gulf Associates Johannesburg, Gauteng, ZA We are looking for a Data Analysis Intern to support our commercial advisory team.

What you will do • Organize and clean raw datasets collected from various commercial and public sources to ensure our models are based on verified facts. • Assist in building and maintaining financial models that track competitor behavior and logistical costs within the territory. • Conduct targeted research on counterparties to understand their current market positions and potential future moves. • Draft clear summaries of data findings that help the team prepare positions for client negotiations. • Identify patterns in trade flows and investment data to support scenario work for major capital deployment decisions. • Support the preparation of reports that focus on the commercial logic of a deal rather than just theoretical projections. • Audit third party reports to find inconsistencies or gaps in the data provided by other market participants. • Collaborate with senior partners to update project trackers and ensure all data remains current and relevant to the engagement.

What you bring • A strong grasp of Excel and the ability to manage large sets of data without losing sight of the overall commercial goal. • A logical mind that enjoys breaking down complex problems into manageable data points. • High attention to detail, especially when checking your own work for accuracy and consistency. • The ability to write in a direct and professional manner, avoiding unnecessary corporate jargon. • An interest in how market logic works, specifically in environments where state capital and private entities overlap. • A quantitative mindset that prioritizes hard evidence over assumptions or general market sentiment. • A disciplined approach to remote work, with the ability to manage your time effectively and stay communicative with the team. • A humble and curious attitude toward learning how high stakes commercial decisions are actually made.

Because our partners stay involved in every engagement from start to finish, you will be part of a team where your input is reviewed by people who are actually in the room for the negotiations.
