Data Analytics Internship

About the role This internship supports our work with a leading regional investment firm in Dubai, focusing on translating raw information into clear management views. As we assist this client with portfolio clarity and strategy, we require an intern to handle the underlying data processing and analysis that informs our advice. The position is essential for ensuring that the principals have accurate, verified figures when making recommendations on governance and capital allocation.

About Arabian Private Holdings Arabian Private Holdings was established to address complex business problems that do not require massive consulting teams or hundreds of slides. We work with family groups, large corporations, and government entities, providing direct access to partners who take accountability for results. Our firm operates as a fully remote entity, prioritizing the quality of our logic and the precision of our writing over office presence. We maintain a small number of active mandates to ensure that every project receives the rigorous attention it deserves.

What you will do

• Organize and clean datasets provided by the regional investment firm to ensure accuracy before analysis.
• Create clear charts and tables that summarize financial performance across different portfolio companies.
• Conduct research on market trends and industry benchmarks to provide context for client mandates.
• Assist principals in identifying patterns within operating data that might suggest areas for improved performance.
• Maintain internal databases to ensure that historical project information is searchable and accurate.
• Draft short summaries explaining data findings, focusing on clarity and brevity.
• Verify the mathematical integrity of financial models used in client presentations.
• Support the preparation of governance reports by providing verified data points and visual aids.

What we are looking for

• A foundational understanding of data analysis tools like Excel or basic SQL.
• The ability to think logically and question the validity of information before presenting it.
• Strong written skills in English, with a focus on being concise and professional.
• Curiosity about how large investment firms and holding companies operate.
• Reliability in a remote setting, including the ability to manage tasks independently.
• Attention to detail when reviewing numbers, ensuring no errors persist in final documents.

How we work We operate without the typical layers of a large firm, meaning interns work closely with the partners responsible for the mandate. Because we are a remote organization, we rely on clear communication and high standards of written work. Mentoring happens through direct feedback on your analysis and exposure to how we frame problems for our clients. We value people who can take a complex set of numbers and reduce them to their most important elements, allowing us to provide the independent advice our clients expect.

What the role offers

• Competitive pay that is attractive for an entry-level position in the current market.
• Direct exposure to high-level strategy and governance projects for a major investment firm.
• The flexibility of a fully remote work schedule that focuses on output rather than hours at a desk.
• Practical experience in applying data analysis to real-world corporate problems and portfolio management.
• Professional development through regular feedback from experienced firm principals.
