We are adding a Data Analyst Assistant to the team to support a large scale engagement with an established Italian infrastructure group. This position focuses on interrogating financial assumptions and identifying discrepancies in complex portfolios to ensure our partner makes decisions based on hard evidence rather than corporate narratives.
About Blue Oak Consulting Blue Oak Consulting provides independent advisory on pricing, portfolio economics, capital allocation, and acquisition assumptions. We are not a traditional consulting firm focused on broad transformation programs or high level strategy decks. Instead, we interrogate specific commercial decisions where the financial stakes are high and the existing narrative is not sufficient. Our team looks past corporate language and P&L complexity to identify where value is leaking or capital is trapped. We work across sectors like software, manufacturing, and healthcare to test whether the assumptions behind a growth plan or an acquisition actually hold under pressure. We are a small, principal led firm where the people who do the work are the ones accountable for the results. We do not take transaction contingent fees, which allows us to be completely honest about whether the economics of a decision make sense. Our goal is to provide clarity through financial discipline and a healthy amount of skepticism.
The Role This is a full time, permanent position that is conducted entirely in a remote environment. You will work closely with our principals to dig into the numbers provided by our partners, often starting with the Italian infrastructure project. The goal is to move past P&L complexity and find where value might be leaking. You will be expected to think critically and ask why certain numbers exist high up in a spreadsheet, rather than just accepting them as facts. This role offers an attractive and competitive compensation package for an entry level professional looking to gain deep experience in financial analysis.
What You Will Be Doing - Cleaning and organizing large datasets from various sources to build a clear financial picture.
What You Bring - A degree or background in finance, economics, mathematics, or a related field with a heavy emphasis on data.
What We Offer - A fully remote work schedule that provides flexibility and removes the need for a daily commute.
At Blue Oak Consulting, we believe that clarity comes from discipline and a healthy amount of skepticism. We stay through the execution phase of our projects because we know that decisions looking sound in theory often face challenges once they meet reality. This role is a starting point for someone who wants to understand the mechanics of how value is created and protected in large organizations. We value the work over the performance, and we look for assistants who are eager to show how the numbers actually add up without relying on corporate jargon.
