Junior Business Analyst

About the role
The Junior Business Analyst position provides essential research and logistical support to our principals as they advise high-level corporate boards. The role exists to ensure that every mandate we accept is grounded in rigorous investigation and clear financial logic. Much of your initial work will focus on a specific project where our client is a regulated entity seeking a perspective on its corporate governance and future portfolio clarity.

About Arabian Private Holdings
Arabian Private Holdings was founded to solve critical business problems that do not fit the traditional large-firm consulting model. We believe that boards and family groups do not need massive teams or hundreds of pages of methodology to make a decision. Instead, they require experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for significant holding companies, listed corporations, and government entities. We operate as a principal-led firm, meaning the people doing the analysis are the ones accountable for the results. We maintain a remote structure to ensure our focus remains on the quality of our independent advice rather than office management or headcount growth.
