MBA Market Research Consultant

About Us

AON3D is a venture capital-backed, Montréal-based additive manufacturing hardware, software, and materials company. Our solutions drive innovation for hundreds of businesses in 25+ countries worldwide, ranging from small businesses to multinational Fortune 500 corporations.

Our mission is to create intelligent tools that automate and optimize the additive manufacturing process, enabling anyone to manufacture high performance parts, in any material, with the touch of a button.

About The Role

We are looking for a driven part-time MBA student to partner directly with our CEO on a high-impact strategic market research project focused on the Canadian automotive sector. This is a unique opportunity to gain a front-row seat inside a fast-growing Montreal startup and collaborate closely with senior leaders on work that directly influences company strategy and execution.

The role offers hourly compensation in the range of $30 to $45 per hour. We will structure the engagement to fit the candidate and are flexible about both hours per week and project duration. We can support both for-pay and for-credit engagements, depending on the candidate interest.

You will contribute meaningful research, insights, and perspectives that help shape real business decisions. Along the way, you will gain hands-on exposure to executive-level thinking, strategic planning, and market analysis. By the end of the project, you will walk away with practical knowledge earned through real-world experience, not just theory from the classroom.

What You Will Do

• Conduct a competitive and market analysis of the Canadian automotive ecosystem, including OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers

• Identify key market trends, manufacturing challenges, and innovation priorities within the automotive sector

• Analyze where additive manufacturing and advanced production technologies can create strategic value

• Research competitors, alternative technologies, and potential market entry points

• Synthesize findings into clear, executive-ready insights and recommendations

• Prepare written deliverables and presentations for review with the CEO

• Iterate on analysis based on executive feedback

What We Are Looking For

• Current or recent MBA student

• Strong interest in strategy, market analysis, and industrial or automotive markets

• Excellent research, analytical, and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently and manage a project with minimal supervision

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Comfortable working directly with senior executives

• Prior exposure to manufacturing, automotive, or industrial technology is an asset
