Braun Management helps executive teams solve internal organizational problems through rigorous analysis and evidence-backed conclusions. We focus on uncovering structural truths that hinder growth, often handling restructuring or clarifying decision rights when internal processes stall.
The Role
This Data Support Analyst position is centered on a specific engagement with our partner, a South African financial firm. You will support our consulting team by organizing complex data sets and ensuring the information we present to leadership is accurate and properly formatted. As this is a fully remote role, you will be a key part of our digital workflow, helping us translate raw financial and operational data into the clear documentation our clients require. This is an entry level position intended for those who appreciate the unglamorous but necessary work of building a factual foundation for executive decisions.
What You Will Do

- Clean and format large data sets to remove inconsistencies or errors before they reach our analysts.
- Assist in preparing weekly status reports that track organizational friction points within the client project.
- Cross-reference data across multiple spreadsheets to ensure all evidence-backed claims are verifiable.
- Create simple, clear visualizations to help explain complex business systems to executive teams.
- Organize digital files and research materials to ensure the team can access information quickly.
- Monitor data quality and flag any anomalies that might suggest underlying structural issues.
- Support the drafting of written summaries for client presentations, focusing on factual accuracy.
What We Are Looking For
- Basic proficiency with spreadsheet software and a comfort level with organizing numerical data.
- A strong interest in how complex business systems operate and a desire to learn about organizational structure.
- Exceptional attention to detail, especially when reviewing long lists of entries or financial figures.
- Clear and direct written communication skills, avoiding unnecessary jargon or filler words.
- The ability to work independently in a remote setting while staying aligned with team goals.
- A systematic approach to problem solving, preferring logic and evidence over assumptions.
- Curiosity about how financial institutions manage decision rights and accountability.
- A willingness to handle the essential, detailed tasks of data maintenance.
How We Work
Braun Management operates as a fully remote team, which means we rely heavily on written documentation rather than constant meetings. We value precision and clear thinking, preferring a thoughtful memo over a hurried conversation. Because we deal with sensitive topics like restructuring and underperformance, our work requires a high degree of discretion and professionalism. We believe that by providing a sober second thought to our clients, we can help them navigate difficult organizational changes with clarity and confidence.
What We Offer
This is a permanent, full-time position that is fully remote, allowing for a flexible work environment from your chosen location. The position is paid, and the compensation is attractive for an entry level role within the consulting and data analysis market. You will have the opportunity to work on international projects, specifically supporting a significant South African financial firm. Our team culture prioritizes intellectual rigor and professional growth through hands-on experience with real-world business problems. We also provide the necessary software tools and digital resources required to perform your role effectively.
The work of a Data Support Analyst is essential to our ability to provide honest, evidence-backed advice to executive teams. By ensuring the integrity of the information we use, you help us identify the structural truths that lead to meaningful change for our clients. Every data point you organize contributes to a clearer path forward for the organizations we serve. Your contributions will directly support leadership teams as they clarify accountability and resolve the friction points that prevent their businesses from succeeding.
