To develop a sound strategic plan, one must decide what actions to take and, equally important, what actions not to take. Working directly with the Vice President of Strategy at AIR Worldwide, you will support select research initiatives where your conclusions will inform recommendations on the actions we should take to grow the business and ward off competitive threats.  Those recommendations are made directly to the President of the company.

We are looking for a person who is innately curious, highly analytical, strong attention to detail, very organized, knows how to connect seemingly disparate bits of information and draw conclusions, keeps comprehensive documentation of their research, knows how to hunt down information using more than just the first page of results from a Google search, and enjoys having their research challenged by talking it out in a fun, productive way.
