About G-nous

G-nous is a multidisciplinary firm based in Bari, Italy, delivering high-impact professional services and innovative solutions to global partners across diverse sectors. Our expertise ranges from the development of technical solutions to the management of complex industrial and institutional environments.

Since 2014, G-nous has been a trusted partner of the ESA Industrial Return team. This specific role is embedded within our dedicated service team, focusing on the core pillars of industrial policy, strategic advisory and robust business operations.

Role Purpose

We are looking for a Data Analytics Business Consultant who combines a strong business orientation with a "hands-on" operational drive. This is a high-responsibility position for a professional who wants to be involved across the ESA service activities: from granular data management to high-level industrial policy analysis.

This position offers a unique opportunity to become a niche expert in ESA industrial policy and geo-return implementation. You will work at the intersection of strategy and execution, securing the knowledge transfer from G-nous top management, while working closely with ESA officers within a high-level international network.

Core Responsibilities

- Analytical & strategic support: analyze complex datasets and institutional information, translating quantitative output into clear, actionable insights to support decision-making for ESA stakeholders.
- Hands-on data processing: ensure integrity and workflow efficiency through a direct, hands-on approach to information systems.
- Workflow optimization: participate in mapping, evaluating, and documenting operational workflows to identify inefficiencies and contribute to process improvement.
- Deliverable preparation: produce consulting-grade presentations and analytical reports, distilling complex data into clear and structured narratives
- Knowledge formalization: structure and maintain internal documentation, operational rules, and procedural guides to ensure effective knowledge sharing within the team.
- Quality assurance & verification:



perform rigorous technical checks and verification routines to ensure every analysis is technically flawless and strategically aligned with client objectives, bridging the gap between micro-operations and macro-policy.

Required Profile

- Master’s degree in Engineering or related fields.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel (data modeling, complex logic) and direct familiarity with managing data flows within IT Information Systems (ERPs, databases).
- 4+ years in consulting, business process mapping, data analysis, or ERP implementation projects.
- Ability to translate analytical findings into executive storytelling and engage confidently with top-level stakeholders, framing operational results within a broader business context.
- Practical "Thinker-Doer" mindset, combining strong numerical logic and process mapping skills with a natural focus on detail and high memory retention
- High level of autonomy, strong sense of accountability and ownership for deliverables, and eagerness to take on increasing strategic responsibility over time.
- The work is primarily conducted in English, requiring full professional fluency to draft complex documents and lead international meetings. An advanced or native-level proficiency in Italian is also essential.

Compensation

Indicative target compensation (base salary + MBO + benefits): €30,000 – €50,000

Place of work

The role is based in Bari (Italy), with the possibility of remote work to be evaluated. It includes missions to ESA establishments, primarily at HQ in Paris and ESTEC in Noordwijk.

How to Apply - Please follow the instructions below

We do not accept "1-click" applications. At G-nous, precision and attention to detail are essential.



To be considered for this role, please upload a single PDF file containing both your CV and your written answers to the following questions:

1. As a key contributor responsible for the accuracy of ESA deliverables, what is your personal methodology for ensuring 100% data quality? Describe a specific situation where you worked with total autonomy and the 'sanity checks' you implemented to guarantee an error-free output before hitting “send”.
2. Describe a project where you translated complex institutional regulations into an operational excel model to support a client's decision-making. How did you ensure technical accuracy while transforming complex data into actionable strategic recommendations for executive management (e.g., in a 3-slide summary)?
3. This role requires a good level of seniority in client management but also significant "hands-on" data work. Can you describe a recent project where, despite your experience , you personally managed the granular data processing and excel modeling? What motivates you to remain operational and deeply involved in the technical execution?
4. G-nous is currently in a scaling phase and we are formalizing our internal ESA-related workflows to support future growth. Have you ever contributed to mapping or standardizing "implicit" team knowledge into clear, repeatable procedures? Describe your approach to ensuring that complex processes are well-documented and easy to hand over.

Applications without these answers integrated will be automatically disqualified.
