Job description

My client is a leading organisation in business intelligence. They are looking for a Associate to join their growing business.


Associates' primary responsibilities are centered on the preparation and delivery of high-quality work products and professional services to clients. They also ensure that proprietary information they access and use is well-maintained. Finally, Associates are expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to expanding their skill set. This is a mid-level role.


Job Overview

Associates work closely with clients and colleagues to manage assignments from beginning to end. They have strong knowledge of their areas of specialization, are able to develop and implement effective research strategies, and manage human intelligence assets in support of the successful execution of investigative research.


The role is partially client-facing, and accomplished Associates can expect direct-and, in some cases, unsupervised-communication with clients.


Key Responsibilities


Investigative Research

Manage every facet of the investigative process, either directly or under supervision from senior colleagues. Specifically:


Prepare written updates and reports, and deliver verbal client updates on time and to a consistently high standard.


Prepare and produce proposals.


Conduct high-quality research using available public records and proprietary databases.


Effectively instruct and manage subcontractors.


Associates sometimes support senior colleagues in their investigative efforts and may occasionally manage more junior Associates and Research Associates.


Develop and Maintain Investigative Resources (10%)

Help maintain and update relevant investigative resources.


Monitor and alert colleagues to changes in information availability in relevant areas of specialization.


Ensure company information resources are updated accordingly.


Attend relevant seminars and other meetings to enhance knowledge.


Training

Work closely with Research Associates, providing appropriate training on specialist databases.


Help Research Associates understand and meet work product requirements.


Administrative Responsibilities

Accurately maintain and submit timesheets.


Ensure contracts and invoices are prepared accurately and sent to clients promptly.


Demonstrate best practices in storing proprietary information, including using Salesforce, internal databases, Google Drive, and other archives as prescribed.


Personal Attributes

Excellent written English as well as fluency in Arabic or Mandarin


Analytical and inquisitive mindset.


Willingness to accept and implement constructive criticism.


Hardworking, diligent, and thorough in the execution of research.


Ability to digest and distill large volumes of information.


Ability to work efficiently and handle multiple (and sometimes short) deadlines.


Ability to assess the accuracy of information and intelligence.


Understanding of financial and business concepts, with a basic ability to interpret financial statements.


Eagerness to identify and adopt new technologies.


Targets

Conduct investigations of varying complexity to a consistently high standard.


Manage time and workload calmly and effectively.


Manage junior colleagues and subcontractors efficiently.


Ensure country and regional resources are easily accessible and up to date.


Demonstrate an understanding of anti-corruption legislation and its impact on clients' concerns and work products.


Meet or exceed prescribed billable hours targets and other key performance indicators (KPIs).


Show commitment to continuous improvement.


Exhibit fluency in describing Business Intelligence services and products.

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.
