- Basic familiarity with AI tools and large language models, alongside a willingness to learn new systems quickly.
- Clear writing skills and the ability to explain complex findings in simple, direct language.
- Strong logical thinking to identify when an AI output does not align with known commercial facts.
- Research discipline and the patience to verify information across multiple sources.
- The ability to work effectively in a fully remote environment without constant supervision.
- Strong attention to detail, especially when handling data related to joint ventures and partnership agreements.
- A recent degree or equivalent project experience in business, economics, or a technology-related field.
What we offer

- Competitive pay that is attractive for an entry-level position within the professional services market.
- Direct exposure to senior partners who stay involved in every stage of a commercial engagement.
- The opportunity to work on complex, high-stakes projects for major entities in the logistics sector.
