Zensar is seeking a Junior Business Strategist in the US (Remote). This is open for contract with excellent growth opportunities.

Job Description:

The client's current global strategy process is primarily driven by historical data from Enterprise customers. However, this approach does not effectively capture the rapid growth and evolving needs of other key segments - SME&C (Small, Medium, and Corporate), SDC (Startups, Digital Natives, and Creators), and Industry-specific customers. This is a high-impact opportunity to contribute to strategic transformation at the client, especially for someone passionate about business strategy, customer segmentation, and innovation.

This project aims to:

• Identify critical opportunities within client's global strategy planning cycle where segment-specific strategies can be more directly infused.
• Challenge the legacy approach of relying solely on historical data by introducing future-trend analysis and segment acceleration insights.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders to document current processes, uncover gaps, and propose new strategic narratives tailored to these fast-moving customer segments.

The candidate will support:

• Reviewing existing strategy documents
• Mapping current processes and timelines
• Identifying key inflection points for segment strategy integration
• Drafting initial ideas for more inclusive and forward-looking strategy narratives.

• Business Administration
• Economics
• Data Science
• Information Systems
• Statistics or Applied Mathematics
• Computer Science (with a focus on analytics or strategy)
• Marketing (with a focus on strategic planning or market segmentation) Or any related field with a strong foundation in analytical thinking, strategic planning, and data interpretation
• Ideal Year - Junior or Senior year undergraduate
• Recent graduate/postgraduate (within 6-12 months) also acceptable.

Core Competencies

• Analytical Thinking: Comfortable working with data to identify trends and patterns.
• Strategic Curiosity: Interest in understanding how global strategies is formed and how segments like SME&C, SDC, and Industries differ.
• Communication Skills: Able to synthesize findings and present ideas clearly to stakeholders.
• Project Management Fundamentals: Familiarity with timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder coordination.
• Tech Fluency: Basic understanding of Azure and cloud services is a plus.

Preferred Skills

• Coursework or internship experience in:
• Strategy or business consulting
• Market research or segmentation
• Data analysis (Excel, Power BI, or similar tools).

Exposure to:

• Microsoft ecosystem (Teams, SharePoint, Azure)
• Strategic frameworks (SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, etc.)
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.

Soft Skills:

• Proactive and eager to learn
• Comfortable asking questions and engaging with senior stakeholders
• Collaborative mindset with attention to detail.
