Associate Analyst – Strategy, Research & Executive Support

Since our inception in 2017, Graphite GTC has been on a mission to redefine the landscape of software development. Our groundbreaking no-code development platform has transformed the way software is conceived and created, democratizing the process and making it accessible to all. Our mantra, “Better. Faster. Cheaper.™” is not just a slogan; it’s the reality we deliver through our innovative platform.

At Graphite GTC, we are not just a technology company; we are a beacon of innovation in the no-code application development sphere. Our vision is to provide equal access to cutting‑edge technology for a diverse range of clients, from sprightly startups to established enterprises. We achieve this by moving away from traditional hand‑coding methods and embracing a visually driven approach to application design, enabling anyone to craft sustainable, enterprise‑class applications. Our proprietary software has set us apart in the market and has become the cornerstone of our services, powering solutions for the U.S. government, leading pharmaceutical companies, educational institutions, and organizations across construction, sustainability, and more.

We are hiring a highly capable Associate Analyst to support high‑velocity strategic, financial, and operational initiatives. This role is designed for someone who is exceptionally detail‑oriented, intellectually sharp, fast, reliable, and able to produce executive‑quality deliverables on the first pass. You will work directly with senior leadership—including the C‑Suite—across critical workstreams spanning research, competitive intelligence, financial modeling, and presentation development.

This is not a back‑office analyst role.

This is a career acceleration opportunity.

• Graphite is a rapidly growing organization expanding across multiple verticals.
• You will work directly with the COO and C‑Suite, gaining exposure to real decision‑making at the highest level.
• You will contribute to high‑impact initiatives across product, strategy, GTM, partnerships, fundraising, operations, and client delivery.
• Top performers will have clear upward mobility into senior analyst, strategy, operations, PMO, or leadership‑track roles.

If you’re looking for a place where you can accelerate your career, expand your capabilities fast, and be relied upon as a trusted strategic partner, this role is built for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and refine high‑stakes presentations in PowerPoint for C‑suite and external audiences.
• Maintain perfect clarity, hierarchy, and narrative flow in decks.
• Create one‑pagers, tear sheets, briefing documents, and structured summaries.

Market, Industry & Competitive Research

• Conduct deep research into industries, competitors, macro trends, whitespace, and emerging technologies.
• Surface insights, risks, threats, and growth opportunities.
• Organize learnings into concise, actionable research briefs.

Financial Modeling & Business Case Development

• Build structured Excel models for TAM/SAM/SOM, P&L, scenario modeling, and business cases.
• Support strategic recommendations with data, assumptions, and clear logic.
• Summarize models into executive‑ready slides and narratives.

Operational, Strategic & GTM Support

• Support GTM materials, product positioning, partner‑facing content, and strategic reports.
• Prepare materials for investor conversations, board discussions, and high‑stakes internal meetings.
• Draft memos, analysis summaries, and decision‑ready documents.

Project Management & Execution

• Maintain structured documentation, trackers, and task management via Monday.com, Notion, or similar tools.
• Keep simultaneous workstreams organized with strong attention to detail.
• Proactively identify gaps, patterns, risks, and opportunities.

Required Qualifications

• 2–4 years of relevant experience in strategy, consulting, analytics, finance, or market research.
• Advanced PowerPoint skills producing executive‑level decks.
• Proficient to advanced Excel financial modeling skills.
• Exceptional research capabilities with strong synthesis ability.
• Excellent communication skills with high accuracy and recall.
• Ability to operate in a fast‑paced environment with tight deadlines.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to juggle multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting or interacting with senior executives.
• Familiarity with SaaS, AI, modernization, or enterprise technology markets.
• Experience generating competitive matrices, TAM/SAM/SOM, or strategic landscapes.
• Familiarity with Monday.com, Notion, Airtable, or similar tools.
• Ability to independently produce polished, high‑quality deliverables.
• High integrity, confidentiality, and professionalism.
• Strong intellectual curiosity and self‑starter mindset.
• Precision, polish, and consistency in work product.
• Ability to anticipate needs and deliver proactively.
• Willingness to work outside normal hours during critical periods.
• Clear ownership, follow‑through, and accountability.

What Success Looks Like

• Becoming a trusted extension of the C‑Suite.
• Quickly absorbing new industries, technologies, and strategic topics.
• Driving clarity and insight across strategic workstreams.
• Identifying opportunities or risks before they become visible to others.
