About the role
We're on the lookout for a high-performing, entrepreneurial, and impact-driven individual to join our team in a part time capacity.
This is not your average role — it’s a chance to work at the intersection of innovation, agriculture, sustainability, and venture building. You’ll be engaging with a cross-section of the agrifood ecosystem — from startups and investors to government and global agribusinesses — all while shaping work that matters.
As a Business Analyst, you will be working within a team to deliver agrifood innovation projects across Australia and Indo-Pacific region. The role provides critical leverage & support to our project teams and venture studio; driving project quality through sharp analysis and communications; driving efficiency through setting up and maintaining project management processes.
Requirements- Conduct desk research and light-touch sector analysis to support client delivery efforts in client advisory and venture building settings—whether investigating emerging trends in climate-smart agtech, conducting competitive analysis of soil agronomy IoT & AI solution providers, or conducting a stakeholder landscape assessment in Southeast Asia.
- Support project execution by helping build decks, summarising findings, and preparing notes, briefs, and synthesis documents across a range of innovation and advisory projects.
- Assist in venture studio operations, such as early-stage scouting, pipeline research, ecosystem mapping, or helping develop basic value propositions or business models.
- Join team meetings, workshops, and client calls, contributing to a collaborative team culture and sharpening your understanding of how innovation consulting works in real-time.
- Support internal initiatives that help Beanstalk grow—this could include social impact, people & culture, or storytelling.

Bring curiosity and care—ask great questions, offer thoughtful feedback, and be a generous team member.

- Strong research, synthesis and writing skills, with the ability to turn complex or technical information into clear insights and crisp slides.
- Comfortable with numbers and structure, whether that’s basic data analysis in Excel or building logic in a desk-based market scan.
- Curious about innovation, agtech, climate, and food systems—you don't need deep experience, but you should be keen to learn.
- A proactive and self-starting attitude—you’re not afraid to ask questions, try things, or help move a project forward even when it’s unfamiliar.
- Experience working in teams, whether through previous internships, group projects, or part-time work—you value being a good teammate.
