🏢 About the Client

Our client is a fast-growing, Utah-based distributor of industrial automation and process control equipment, supplying critical operations across manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, and water/wastewater treatment sectors. Scaled from a startup to nearly thirty employees, the business is on pace for massive year-over-year revenue growth, out-competing distributors many times its size through operational efficiency, top-tier talent, and a high-performance culture.

💼 About the Role

The founder generates a high volume of ambitious growth concepts—particularly around market expansion, target verticals, and new advertising channels—faster than internal teams can evaluate them. This role exists to serve as an executive-level strategic thought partner and research engine. You will turn concepts into structured, vetted opportunities: pulling media kits, modeling audience metrics, projecting ROI, and ranking recommendations so the founder can make rapid, decisive investment choices.

🎯 Key Responsibilities

  • 🔍 Market & Industry Research: Map emerging growth opportunities, trade publications, and commercial advertising channels across target industrial sectors.

  • 📊 Data-Driven Analysis & Scoping: Gather concrete figures—including media kits, reach statistics, cost benchmarks, and audience demographics—to ground decisions in hard data.

  • 📈 ROI Modeling & Forecasting: Build financial models, conversion assumptions, and return projections to evaluate prospective initiatives.

  • 🎯 Ranking & Executive Shortlisting: Narrow broad options down into clear, prioritized shortlists with structured pros/cons analysis and definitive recommendations.

  • 🚀 Idea Operationalization: Translate abstract founder concepts into actionable roadmaps that can be deployed rapidly or delegated cleanly to internal teams.

  • 🤖 AI-Accelerated Delivery: Maximize tools like Claude and ChatGPT to synthesize complex data, draft analytical artifacts, and speed up research cycles.

  • ⚡ Same-Day Velocity: Mobilize immediately on new priorities the same day they are introduced, bypassing drawn-out planning phases in favor of decisive momentum.

✅ Qualifications & Skills

⭐ Core Requirements:

  • Advanced AI Fluency: Current, deep proficiency utilizing Claude and ChatGPT to build analytical frameworks, evaluation models, and structured research artifacts.

  • Analytical Rigor & Speed: Proven track record of delivering fast, same-day research turnarounds on complex, ambiguous topics without sacrificing quality.

  • Strategic Judgment: Strong commercial acumen and critical thinking to act as a true collaborator and thought partner, not just a task-taker.

  • Market & Data Research: Demonstrated background in market intelligence, data extraction, media kit analysis, and synthesizing complex findings into executive-ready decks and memos.

  • Communication Mastery: Flawless written and verbal English communication suitable for high-level collaboration with an active founder.

🌟 Preferred Pluses:

  • Prior experience directly assisting a company founder, CEO, or senior C-suite executive.

  • Familiarity with industrial sectors (manufacturing, engineering, mining, energy, or distribution).

🛠️ Tech Stack Used:

  • Claude & ChatGPT

  • Gather (Virtual Office)

  • Spreadsheet & Financial Modeling Tools

  • Google Search & Google Shopping Analytics

  • Zoom & Google Meet
