Senior Research & Intelligence Analyst (AI-Enabled) (m/f/d)

• Independently conduct research for Strategy and M&A projects: market analyses, competitive landscapes, target screenings, longlist development, industry and trend analyses
• Evaluate external signals such as earnings calls, annual reports, capex announcements, market reports, patent data, and industry news
• Produce management-ready research outputs - from structured one-pagers to detailed market and target profiles

• Develop modular, AI-enabled workflows that can be adapted and reused across multiple projects (e.g., target screening pipelines, competitor profile generators, earnings call analysis)
• Build scheduled monitoring runs that deliver regularly updated reports on defined markets, competitors, or watchlists
• Actively monitor output quality: where do tools hallucinate? Where are sources poorly evaluated? Where does relevance drop? Iteratively refine prompts, pipelines, and data sources

• Actively follow the AI tooling and research methods landscape (new models, new agent frameworks, new specialized research tools, new data sources)
• Conduct regular structured evaluations: which new approaches could improve or replace our existing tools? Where is a pilot worthwhile, and where not?
• Share relevant developments with the team so that Strategy and M&A benefit from new possibilities
• Run independent hands-on experiments with new tools before decisions are made - including healthy resistance to hype

• Make AI-enabled research workflows visible in practice - through concrete examples, demos, short internal sessions, or joint work on real questions
• Document and prepare tools so that others can use or adapt them without lengthy onboarding
• Build an informal network of AI-curious colleagues across the organization who share experiences and accelerate each other

• Work in the Strategy and M&A team, and with business functions to clarify research questions
• Translate complex findings into clear, decision-oriented recommendations for senior stakeholders with clear graphical presentation

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Business Informatics, Engineering, Natural Sciences, or a comparable field
• 3+ years of professional experience in research, intelligence, strategy, or consulting roles - ideally with exposure to strategic projects and M&A
• Hands-on experience with modern AI tools in day-to-day work: LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), research workflows, prompt engineering, and ideally early experience with agentic or API-based setups
• Demonstrable learning trajectory in the AI space: able to point to specific tools or approaches explored over the past 6–12 months and what was learned from them; we are looking for someone who pursues these topics on their own initiative - not someone waiting for training to be offered
• Structured analytical thinking and the ability to translate fuzzy research questions into clear methodologies
• Genuine enjoyment of sharing knowledge and methods; explains complex things simply, builds bridges to less AI-fluent colleagues, and sees enablement as part of personal success - not as a chore
• Strong understanding of how AI can be applied in strategy and M&A-related environments
• Excellent English skills; German fluency required
• High initiative, curiosity, and a pragmatic, get-it-done mindset

• Experience with Python, APIs, web scraping, or workflow automation tools (n8n, Make, Zapier, etc.)
• Experience with AI agent frameworks or RAG-based research systems
• Experience building scheduled data pipelines or monitoring systems
• Industry exposure to Life Sciences, MedTech, Pharma, or industrial B2B sectors
• Experience in target screening, due diligence support, or competitive intelligence in an M&A context

• Flexible working hours
• Flat hierarchies and efficient internal communication
• Being part of internationally growing team
• Daily meal allowance of EUR 8.00
• Annual ticket of "Wiener Linien / VOR"
• Internal and external training and further development opportunities
• Nice office and modern working atmosphere in the heart of Vienna
