Research Assistant

Research Assistant / Co-Founder | Digital Marketing Agency
30% Equity | 30% Brand Ownership | No Compensation Until Positive Cash Flow
Turn Research into Strategy. Strategy into Growth.
I am looking for a curious, analytical and ambitious Research Assistant to join me in building a digital marketing agency from the ground up, with ambitions to expand across Australia, Europe and North America.
This is an opportunity to turn research and insights into business decisions, identify growth opportunities and help shape the future of an international agency while developing into a Co-Founder and leadership role.
The Opportunity
- 30% equity and brand ownership
- No salary or financial compensation until positive cash flow
- Remote and flexible working arrangement
- Build the venture alongside your current job or studies
- Hands-on experience in market research, business strategy and startup development
- Direct collaboration with the founder on key business decisions
- Opportunity to help build an international agency from zero
Your Role
You will lead research activities that help the company understand its target markets, competitors, customers and growth opportunities. Working directly with the founder, you will turn findings into practical recommendations that support business strategy, service development and international expansion.
What You Will Do
- Research target markets, industries and potential clients
- Analyse competitors, industry trends and customer needs
- Identify emerging opportunities in digital marketing and technology
- Conduct customer and audience research
- Gather insights to support pricing, positioning and service development
- Research potential partnerships and expansion markets
- Prepare research reports, summaries and actionable recommendations
- Support data-driven business planning and strategic decisions
- Evaluate market opportunities across Australia, Europe and North America
- Collaborate with the founder to improve the company's growth strategy
What I Am Looking For
Someone who:
- Has strong analytical, research and critical-thinking skills
- Enjoys investigating problems and discovering opportunities
- Can interpret information and communicate findings clearly
- Is detail-oriented, organised and proactive
- Is comfortable working independently in a remote environment
- Is interested in business strategy, entrepreneurship and digital marketing
- Takes initiative and is willing to learn
- Wants to help build and grow a business over the long term
Experience in market research, business analysis, marketing research or strategic planning is an advantage, but a strong willingness to learn and contribute is equally valuable.
Important Note
This is an early-stage Co-Founder opportunity, not a salaried position. There will be no financial compensation until the company achieves positive cash flow. The proposed 30% equity and brand ownership arrangement is intended for a long-term commitment, with the specific terms to be discussed and formally agreed upon.
If you enjoy turning information into ideas and ideas into opportunities, join us in building an international business from the ground up.
