The Junior Product Analyst role is a starting position for someone who wants to understand how organisations actually finish their work. This position helps us move beyond complicated spreadsheets to create a plain record of team progress. Our team is presently cataloging the project rhythms of several logistics firms in Sweden as part of a regional study. This role supports that effort by organizing the data we gather from these Swedish operations into a plain written format that shows exactly what has been finished and what is still waiting for a decision.

Employment setup
This is a permanent, full-time role with Olive Tree Consulting, a firm based in Italy. The position is fully remote, and we are accepting applications from candidates who have the legal right to work in their current country of residence. While the work is remote, you will be supporting a specific project involving partners in Sweden, so we require a full overlap with Central European Time working hours. This is a paid position. The hiring process consists of an initial conversation with a partner, a short written task focused on data organization, and a final interview. You will report directly to a Managing Partner. As this is a remote role, you will use your own equipment and reliable internet connection.

About Olive Tree Consulting
Olive Tree Consulting is a focused advisory practice that helps leadership teams manage work more simply. We concentrate on the space between high-level plans and daily execution, where management habits often become heavier than they need to be. Our work is practical and observant. We help teams fix decisions that keep reopening, priorities that do not move, and meetings that produce discussion but not enough movement.
We are a remote-first firm built on the idea that good advisory work should make things easier to see. We prefer useful notes over polished presentations and certain ownership over vague agreement. Rather than large change programmes, we offer small, practical shifts that leave behind records the team can keep using. Our aim is to create a quieter management pattern that stays close to actual work. Clients work with a small group of partners who value careful attention and direct communication. By naming the patterns that cause friction, we help leadership teams make their existing work easier to lead.

In this role

• Reviewing internal project trackers to identify where tasks have stayed stagnant for too long.
• Transcribing notes from remote client meetings into a consistent format that highlights specific outcomes.
• Updating product logs to ensure that every task has one person responsible for its completion.
• Organizing qualitative data from interviews with Swedish logistics partners into categorized reports.
• Assisting partners in the creation of simple project manuals that avoid professional jargon.
• Checking that internal records match the actual progress discussed in weekly syncs.
• Monitoring the rhythm of client communication to find where information is being lost.
• Drafting weekly summaries that show which decisions are still open and who needs to close them.

What we are looking for

• A bachelor degree or similar background in business, social sciences, or a related field.
• Comfort using basic features of tools like Notion, Excel, or Trello to track information.
• A preference for writing in plain, easy to understand English without using corporate buzzwords.
• The ability to look at a list of notes and find the logical pattern or the missing piece of information.
• Eager to learn how business processes work in a real-world setting.
• Close attention to detail, specifically when it comes to names, dates, and assigned tasks.
• A belief that a short, accurate email is better than a long, vague presentation.
• Comfortable working independently while staying in close contact via messaging and video calls.

What the role offers

This position provides a view into the inner workings of diverse leadership teams. You will work in an environment that values quiet focus and written communication over constant meetings. Because we are a small firm, you will see how advisory work is done from the ground level and learn how to help organizations fix persistent habits. The role is fully remote, allowing you to work from a space that suits your focus while staying connected to a small, supportive team.
Our belief is that management should feel lighter and more useful. We want to leave behind a pattern of work that stays close to reality and helps everyone understand their part in the larger picture.
