About JHC Consulting
JHC Consulting is a remote advisory firm whose work sits closer to judgment, review, and decision support than to routine execution. The work is often analytical in nature, but not in a purely mechanical sense. It involves examining information carefully, understanding what it supports and what it does not, and helping bring structure to material that may initially be incomplete, uneven, or difficult to interpret. We are looking for a Junior Data Analyst who wants to build strong analytical habits in a setting where clarity, precision, and professional discipline matter.

About the role
The right person for this role is someone who is patient with detail, thoughtful with information, and capable of working with care without losing context of the broader objective. This position sits closer to careful investigation than to high-volume reporting or building dashboards for visual effect.
You will be responsible for supporting analytical tasks across various research and decision-support projects. Much of the day-to-day involves taking raw spreadsheets, fragmented inputs, or background materials and organizing them into a functional state. Your duties will also include verifying that assumptions are well-founded, figures are aligned, and summaries are actually backed by the underlying data.
While this is a junior-level position, we expect a high level of professional discipline rather than the carelessness sometimes associated with early-career roles. We want to find individuals who prioritize accuracy, think deeply before reaching conclusions, and recognize that the best analysis usually serves to reduce confusion rather than inflate complexity.

What you would do
In this role, you may be involved in:

• cleaning and organizing information into usable working files
• reviewing datasets, spreadsheets, and supporting materials
• checking figures, categories, and source consistency
• preparing summary tables, structured notes, and analytical support materials
• identifying gaps, anomalies, inconsistencies, or weak comparisons
• helping transform scattered information into clear and usable analysis
• supporting internal and client-facing work where the factual basis matters

The work is likely to appeal to someone who finds satisfaction in making material clearer, more ordered, and more reliable.

What we are looking for
You do not need to have done everything before. What matters more is the way you work.
We would expect a strong candidate to have:

• confidence handling structured data with care
• good working knowledge of Excel or Google Sheets
• basic SQL skills
• strong attention to detail
• clear written English
• a disciplined approach to checking accuracy
• the ability to stay organized when material is messy or incomplete

You should be comfortable noticing when something does not look right, and willing to verify rather than assume.

Helpful background
Experience can come from a range of places. This may include:

• university coursework
• academic research
• internships
• freelance assignments
• personal projects
• an early role involving reporting, research, operations, or analysis

Experience with tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio, or similar platforms may be useful, but it is not the main point of the role. We are less interested in polished tool lists than in whether you can handle information responsibly and think with care.

What kind of person tends to do well here
This role is likely to suit someone who:

• does not rush to conclusions
• prefers careful work over performative busyness
• can stay patient when working through detail
• understands that presentation is secondary to substance
• wants to develop real analytical discipline early in their career

It is a strong fit for someone who wants more than surface-level reporting work and is interested in building the foundations of serious professional judgment.

What the role offers
This position offers:

• fully remote work
• exposure to analytical assignments where precision matters
• meaningful early-career responsibility
• a professional environment that values clarity over noise
• the chance to strengthen research, analytical structure, and judgment through real work

For the right candidate, this role is a strong starting point. It offers the opportunity to build careful habits, strengthen analytical judgment, and contribute to work where accuracy is taken seriously.
If you are early in your career and want to develop as an analyst in a setting that values substance, care, and clear thinking, we would be interested in hearing from you.
