JOB DESCRIPTION
Business Analyst Interns at White Space Strategy support the core of the research and analysis on projects. The quality of our work for clients depends on the commitment, passion and curiosity of our analysts.
Every day is different, but most will include some (or many) of the following activities:
- Conducting in-depth research online
- Telephone research and leading telephone interviews
- Data analytics and modelling using Excel or Tableau
- Analysing research gathered to draw conclusions for our clients
- Writing or delivering PowerPoint presentations
- Supporting new project sales across the business
We don’t specialise, so interns work across a range of projects and industries, and must be comfortable juggling their time across a variety of tasks and projects.
White Space encourages interns to take on responsibility early, and we look to keep you on track through regular reviews. We provide mentorship and career development support and offer a competitive salary.
CANDIDATE SPECIFICATION
We are looking for candidates with a 2:1 (achieved or expected) in any subject. We look to foster a diverse and inclusive environment, and what we really value is:
Passion: enthusiasm for business and new challenges
Curiosity: desire to know more about the world around you and how you can make a difference
Personality: ability to write and speak in an engaging way
Acuity: interest in the big picture and precision around the important details
While business experience is not essential, good communication skills (particularly on the phone), willingness to go the extra mile to get the job done and the ability to build a rapport with people are particularly valuable. The ability to handle multiple priorities within a deadline-driven environment is essential.
