7 days ago

Muscat, Muscat, Oman Irwin & Dow Careers Full time

Our client is a global professional services organisation, specialising in executive search and human resources consultancy, operating in over 45 countries. Our client provides exceptional talent almost anywhere across the globe and has been active in the Middle East for over twenty years; working with both major multinational entities as well as many Government institutions.

An exciting opportunity has arisen in their Oman office for a Research Associate to join their close-knit, friendly team. This role will support the Senior Consultant in Oman and report into the Research Head in Dubai. The role incorporates the research phase for executive search assignments, focusing on identifying companies and organisations in the appropriate sectors and thus prospective candidates. You will be required to maintain and manage candidates during the process of the assignment, which will include candidate briefings, travel and interview arrangements and you will work very closely with the consultant at all times.

Knowledge generation and management is a key requirement of the role; searching both internal and external resources and proactively identifying, analysing and synthesizing information. Additionally, the role highlights trends and potential business development opportunities and supports the production of targeted marketing presentations. Incorporated into this will be insight into industry trends and monitoring core client activity in the market.

Very strong written and oral communication skills in English are vital; the role actively contributes to the start-up phase of projects and the Research Associate will usually attend the initial briefing with the consultant and the client, in order to determine relevant strategy for the assignment. Document production in various formats is required, to a very high standard with meticulous attention to detail.

Candidates will be University graduates with at least two years of relevant experience; a Post-Graduate degree would be advantageous. Prior experience in a corporate environment in a support function or in a market research/consultancy role would be beneficial, coupled with a strong understanding of the local market. Excellent IT ability in using online databases and search engines is essential, with a strong 'hands-on' approach and ability to multi-task. Additional languages such as Arabic would be desirable.

Our client has employed a succession of outstanding Research Associates over the years and has provided excellent training and development, ensuring they have gone on to either internal promotion to Consultant level, or to well-paid employment in other professional services firms.
