Reporting Analyst Assistant

At JHC Consulting, we provide independent advisory counsel to heads of industry, board committees, and chief executives. We are a small, deliberate firm focused on governance, strategy, and leadership questions where the internal view requires external challenge. Currently, we are supporting a Chicago-based partner on a major analytical mandate. To help us process, organize, and synthesize the information required for this engagement, we are seeking a full-time Reporting Analyst Assistant. This entry-level position is a paid, permanent role offering highly competitive compensation. You will collaborate directly with our principals to organize data, extract factual points, and draft the initial components of our written memoranda.

The Role
As a Reporting Analyst Assistant, your primary responsibility is to translate raw corporate information into clear, organized datasets and written summaries. We do not build slide presentations or participate in typical management consulting ceremonies. Instead, we produce rigorous written analyses.
Your day-to-day work will center on:

• Reading extensive corporate filings, performance logs, and internal strategy papers to isolate key details.
• Structuring and verifying quantitative data to ensure every figure in our final briefs is completely accurate.
• Drafting the initial descriptive portions of our advisory memoranda, translating numerical findings into precise, plain English.
• Performing targeted background research on market conditions and corporate histories to support our principals' analytical assessments.

You will spend your time reading, cross-referencing, and drafting, ensuring that every single factual claim we make can be traced back to a specific, verified source.

What We Need From You
This is an entry-level position designed for someone early in their analytical career who possesses a natural talent for clear writing and logical analysis. We do not require years of prior experience, but we do expect intellectual discipline and sharp attention to detail.
Specifically, we look for:

• An exceptional standard of written English. You must be able to draft concise, formal prose that avoids corporate buzzwords and gets straight to the point.
• Comfort working with quantitative data. You should know how to work with spreadsheets, verify totals, and identify anomalies in large sets of information.
• A strong academic background in a field that emphasizes rigorous research and writing, such as economics, history, literature, or finance.
• The ability to work independently, manage your own time, and respect the strict confidentiality of high-level strategic discussions.

How We Work
Our practice operates under a single-author model. We believe that writing is the ultimate test of thinking, and every engagement we undertake culminates in a formal memorandum. Every page we produce is signed by the individual who conducted the reading and structured the analysis. This creates a high level of individual accountability. Because our reputation is built on the precision of our written record, we subject every sentence to rigorous internal scrutiny before it ever reaches a client.

Working at JHC Consulting
This position is offered under a hybrid work arrangement. We believe in providing the flexibility of working from home while maintaining the value of regular, focused in-person collaboration. You will split your time between working remotely and meeting with our team in our office environment to review projects and refine our analyses. This setup offers both the autonomy to focus deeply on your reading and writing tasks, and the immediate feedback that comes from sitting down face-to-face with senior advisors.
At JHC Consulting, we do not hide behind corporate branding or anonymous team structures. Our name and our signatures sit at the foot of every document we produce. As an assistant analyst, your contributions will directly shape the evidence and arguments we present to some of the most prominent organizational leaders. If you are eager to build a career founded on deep research, precise writing, and the discipline of independent counsel, this role offers a rare foundation in the craft of strategic analysis.
