Job description

GlobeScan in Africa is growing – opportunity for an intern or junior analyst to join our team

About GlobeScan?

We are an independent, employee-owned insights and strategy advisory consultancy founded in 1987. Our vision is to help create a sustainable and equitable world by helping our clients – large companies, NGOs and governmental organisations – become more trusted leaders. We specialise in the areas of sustainability, reputation, and stakeholder engagement.

Our work is evidence-based and centred around helping our clients understand what their stakeholders – customers, employees, civil society, investors, communities – expect of them. We do this through a wide range of engagements including stakeholder and consumer surveys, convenings, expert consultations and benchmarking.

The position:

This is a junior posting – either as an intern or junior analyst. It is a 6-month contract position in our Stellenbosch office. It could be possible to extend the contract.

Requirements and responsibilities:

• A post-graduate degree in social or management sciences with a focus on socio-economic research, sustainability, or related fields.
• Knowledge of basic social science research methodology and basic project management skills would be desirable.
• Project support is a key task – following and managing the research process from design, data-collection, quant and qualitative analysis through to the visual presentation of data and writing reports.
• Business development: supporting the larger team in terms of client research, proposal development and sector/issue knowledge.
• This position may require travel, so a valid passport and the ability to travel independently or as part of a larger team, is key.
