This role is ideal for someone with 1-2 years of experience who enjoys analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and building clean, compelling slides, all within the unique and dynamic world of superyachts.

What We Are Looking For

Skills

• Strong analytical skills; confident working with Excel and large datasets.
• Ability to structure ideas clearly and build professional client-ready slides.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.

Mindset

• Proactive, someone who naturally thinks ahead and asks “what’s next?”.
• Reliable, organised, and comfortable managing several tasks at once.
• Curious about the superyacht industry and motivated to learn quickly.
• Enjoys working in a small, energetic team with direct exposure to senior decision-makers.

Experience

• 1-2 years in consulting, research, analytics, strategy support, or a similar structured role.
• Internship experience is welcome, but must be paired with at least 1 year of full-time work.
• Familiarity with PowerPoint and Excel standards used in consulting environments.

Salary

• Gross annual base salary: €38,000 - €42,000, depending on experience.

What We Offer

• A growth opportunity in a niche and globally relevant industry.
• A chance to work closely with both a young consulting team and highly experienced sector specialists.
• Real ownership and visibility from day one, no heavy hierarchy or bureaucracy.
• A steep learning curve, flexible working style, and a collaborative environment.
• Exposure to clients, markets, and datasets rarely accessible at an early-career level.

Someone who:

• Wants to grow from a research/analyst role into more structured consulting work.
• Enjoys working with both data and narrative storytelling.
• Thrives in a small team but values access to experienced industry experts.
