Associate Management Consultant

Role Overview

About Dune Strategy

What You Will Do

• Research a counterparty, a sector or a regulatory path and turn findings into a short written position.
• Map ownership, shareholders and decision makers in a family group or joint venture, including who signs off.
• Assemble briefing material for client meetings and board packs with checked numbers and named sources.
• Draft the note a partner reads on the way to a meeting: the decision, options, and advice.
• Follow a live regulatory or policy thread over weeks and tell the team when something has moved.
• Keep engagement files and research records in order so the work can be picked up by anyone on the team.

What We Are Looking For

• Think in order and write in plain sentences.
• Say so early when something is unclear instead of filling the gap with confident-sounding text.
• Comfortable starting research with an incomplete brief, returning with sharper questions, then a usable answer.
• Care with numbers, since a single wrong figure undermines a briefing note.
• Role sits at associate level, seeking someone at the start of this kind of work with basic research and analysis skills from studies, an internship or a first job.
• Reliability to keep several threads moving without being chased.
• A good command of written English is required.

Helpful Background

• Study or coursework in finance, economics, business or politics.
• Arabic, Hindi or another regional language, spoken or read.
• Exposure to any sector where commercial decisions turned on local operating conditions.
• Prior research work: a thesis, a due diligence support role, an internship at a firm advising clients.
• Comfort with spreadsheets and with building a clean slide deck from own findings.
• None of the helpful background items are required.

Work Arrangement

• Work remotely from Dubai, full time and on a permanent contract.
• Work alongside partners who stay on the calls that matter.
