Consulting Analyst

Company Overview

ChilliMint is a dedicated strategy and marketing consultancy specializing in retail financial services and payment industries. We assist banks, payment companies, and fintech firms to navigate complex commercial challenges by combining incisive strategic thinking with impactful creative execution. Our projects lie at the crossroad of strategy, product innovation, and marketing. Instead of merely analyzing challenges, we transform insights into persuasive stories that influence decision-making, engage stakeholders, and promote business growth.

Role Overview

We seek a Consulting Analyst skilled in clear thinking, outstanding writing, and the ability to bring concepts to life. This role is distinct from traditional data analyst positions — there will be no dashboard building or programming involved. Rather, success depends on your capability to rapidly assimilate complex subjects, develop compelling viewpoints, and articulate them effectively.

Typical tasks might include examining trends in digital wallets across Europe, crafting persuasive messaging for new payment solutions, or preparing presentations that guide senior clients. If you excel at converting intricate data into understandable, actionable insight, you will flourish in this position.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough research and distill meaningful industry trends in payments and financial services, focusing on impactful information.
• Analyze client challenges and market positioning to discover distinct, commercially valuable opportunities.
• Develop insightful narratives that not only describe developments but also explain implications and recommend next steps.
• Create top-quality deliverables such as presentations, reports, messaging frameworks, and sales collateral.
• Manage multiple client projects end-to-end, ensuring timely delivery and excellence across workstreams.
• Collaborate closely with consultants and creative teams to ensure strategic robustness and engaging outputs.

Essential Skills and Qualities

• Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to express thoughts clearly, succinctly, and logically.
• Strong analytical ability to deconstruct problems and generate evidence-supported insights.
• Proficiency in connecting disparate information to convert research findings into actionable strategy.
• Meticulous attention to detail ensuring high quality and accuracy in all work products.

Desired Mindset

• A naturally curious, proactive individual who takes ownership of their tasks.
• Comfortable thriving in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment with strong expectations.
• Genuinely interested in business growth dynamics, competition, and communication strategies.

Additional Preferred Experience (Not Mandatory)

• Some familiarity with financial services, fintech, or payment sectors.
• Background in marketing, content development, or storytelling techniques.
• Basic knowledge of AI tools and their applications in research or content creation.

Unique Aspects of This Role

Unlike typical analyst roles, this position emphasizes learning to think strategically, communicate persuasively, and influence stakeholders effectively. You'll engage directly with experienced consultants, confront actual client issues, and witness the progression from strategy formulation to execution, often within one project.

Benefits

• Competitive monthly salary ranging between AED 12,000 to 14,000, with a discretionary bonus available after one year.
• Opportunities for accelerated career advancement based on merit and ambition.
• Exposure to impactful and strategic projects with major global financial entities.
• Interaction with senior leadership including directors and senior consultants, providing valuable consulting insights.
• A dynamic and ambitious team environment valuing insight, creativity, and problem-solving.
• Monthly team-building events including socials and celebrations to foster connection and relaxation.
• Access to high-quality laptops and software tools essential for delivering excellent work.
