Job Description

Junior Market Research Analyst | JHC Consulting

The Tone:
This is a permanent, full-time role at JHC Consulting, operating under a hybrid model that balances independent remote study with structured in-person sessions for deliberation. JHC Consulting serves as an analytical partner, supporting an active advisory mandate for a national healthcare provider by rigorously evaluating industry shifts, regulatory developments, and market forces. This entry-level position is specifically designed for an aspiring analyst who prioritizes logical rigor and deep analysis over the visual theater of typical corporate presentations. Writing is the core discipline of the firm, underpinning its belief that precisely formulated written arguments are the most effective means to expose gaps in logic and provide lasting value. The role is fundamental to producing formal memoranda that directly inform executive leadership, with these documents serving as a permanent, signed record of the firm’s advice for clients held on file for years.

The TL;DR
• Role: Full Time
• Type: Full-time
• Location: Hybrid (remote with in-person sessions for strategic alignment)

• Team: Works within a single-author model where individual contributions are directly reflected, receiving direct feedback and challenge from experienced principals.
• Mission: To conduct rigorous study, source verification, and precise drafting to evaluate healthcare industry shifts, isolate key strategic trends, and inform formal memoranda for executive leadership.

What You’ll Actually Do
• Evaluate Industry Landscapes: Support active advisory mandates for a national healthcare provider by systematically evaluating current industry shifts, emerging regulatory developments, and prevailing market forces impacting the sector.
• Conduct Extensive Research: Perform comprehensive and rigorous study, involving extensive reading, source verification, and fact-checking of regulatory updates, competitor actions, and diverse industry reports relevant to the national healthcare partner.
• Draft Analytical Memoranda: Spend a substantial portion of the week precisely drafting narrative summaries of research findings into formal memoranda for executive leadership, meticulously ensuring every claim is backed by a clear assumption and a verified source.
• Identify Strategic Insights: Isolate and articulate critical strategic trends and insights gleaned from extensive reading and analysis, identifying those elements that require external challenge and further investigation.
• Participate in Deliberation: Engage actively in structured, in-person strategic alignment sessions, contributing to debates on findings, contesting conclusions, and collaboratively planning advisory responses with experienced principals.

The Must-Haves
• Background: Entry-level capacity as an aspiring analyst, demonstrating exceptional capacity for clear, precise writing and advanced analytical maturity.
• Experience: No vast background in management consulting is required; candidates should be comfortable interpreting basic data and market information effectively.
• Skills: Ability to read and distill complex corporate and legal documents, pulling out essential points without getting lost in trivial details; natural curiosity and close attention to detail; proficiency in translating complex findings into clean, precise prose; comfort with structured writing tasks where word choice represents quality of thought.
• Bonus: Courage to highlight uncomfortable facts that challenge common consensus and a commitment to high standards of written argument that clients hold on file for years.
