Euromonitor International seeks an analyst to collect, analyse and report information on industries such as food and beverage, travel, consumer finance, retailing and consumer foodservice in Kuwait .

Interview success relies on our analysts’ proactivity to recruit and secure interviews with the right contacts, and their ability to uncover key data and insights via open discussions.
Our research addresses the following types of questions to deliver insightful business intelligence:
- Where are consumers traveling to and from Kuwait? What are the leading hotels and travel methods in the country?
- Where do consumers shop and what do they buy?
- Where do consumers eat? What do they eat?
- How do consumers pay? How will preferred payment method evolve?
