What does a day in the life of a strategy analyst look like?
A day in the life of a strategy analyst begins with logging on to the computer. I typically read a briefing because the key to doing the job is to stay informed and on top of market news and activities.
Our team compiles aviation and space news from around the world and sends it out every morning. I usually sit down and review that thoroughly.
Then, there are a lot of meetings. I can't know everything in depth, so my job is to know a little bit about a lot. I have many meetings where I can ask questions and gather information.
I take notes and create presentations. So, I read my briefing, gain insight, attend meetings, take notes, and then compile all that information into presentations. Some days I present them, and other days I store the information for the week ahead or the following week when I need to send it up.
