Hi, I'm a strategic researcher based in Berlin with 15 years of experience. I work with clients who need to understand their market and industries, their competitors, their own capacities, or their stakeholders and customers before making an important decision.
Sometimes that means mapping how competitors are positioned, understanding a new market or industry before committing to it. Sometimes a client just needs to know what their stakeholders or customers actually think. Whatever the problem, I define it, research it, and provide clear insights and recommendations on what to do next.
What I help with:
- Market and Industry Research
- Competitor Research (Benchmarking)
- Forecasting
- Stakeholder Research (Interviews, Focus Groups, Surveys)
- Content Analysis and Discourse Analysis
- Organisational Analysis (SWOT Analysis, Opportunity Analysis)
- Data & Statistical Analysis (using R/ RStudio, Stata, Excel, SQL)
- Political and Regulatory Monitoring
- Policy Analysis
- Writing (Reports, briefs, content)
I've worked across different industries and sectors, in topics such as higher education, internationalization, Community Engagement, Stakeholder Engagement, Labor Market, Private Security, Surveying, Food Quality, and the pro audio and musical instruments industry.
Clients include Universität Bamberg, Open Future Lab, Haygarth Group, Instituto Unibanco, Universidad de Granada, and Duoc UC. I've interviewed senior people at institutions across Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, the UK, Spain, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Canada.
I work in English and Spanish, with working knowledge of German.

My focus is making sense of complex markets, turning primary and secondary research, competitive signals, and customer data into insight that supports better decisions.
I am a Market and Competitive Intelligence analyst with 8 years of professional experience, including 6+ years in market research, competitive benchmarking, and customer insight work across IoT, industrial tech, and MedTech.
I started in Munich at Inveox, a MedTech start-up automating cancer tissue sampling and diagnostics, where I built a 500+ companies competitor database, developed pricing and benchmarking models, and helped drive a 25% lift in website traffic and 15% more sales opportunities through customer segmentation work.
I then moved into syndicated market intelligence at IoT Analytics in Hamburg, where I have spent almost four years authoring 8 research reports and 5 industry blogs across IoT Gateway, 5G/Private 5G, and Satellite IoT; building bottom-up market models and 5-year forecasts; building market trackers covering Edge AI chipset vendors and satellite network operators to estimate market share. I represented the company at Hannover Messe, Embedded World, SPS, and MWC Barcelona, turning floor-level conversations into intelligence reports clients actually use.
What I bring to the table as a professional:
→ Hands-on dashboard and tracker building (Power BI, SQL, Excel) that survives beyond a single report
→ Primary research instincts, I would rather run 10 stakeholder interviews than guess
→ The discipline to turn a messy spreadsheet into a one-page recommendation a VP will actually read
→ Comfort using AI tools to accelerate desk research without cutting corners on rigor
Currently open to Market Intelligence, Competitive Intelligence, and Customer Insights roles

My name is Jan Niklas Huhn, I am a freelancer focusing on academic research and writing. I graduated from Leiden University with two MAs in International Relations and Asian Studies. Currently I am in the process of obtaining my PhD in Political Science from Siegen University.
I have been working as a freelancer for about two years now. My clients ranged from publishers to consultant agencies and individual researcher.
I am well versed in both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Thanks to may many years within academia I am able to write publication level literature reviews for any topic. While much of my focus regarding political science and international relation is on Asia and Europe/ North America I have a working knowledge of current affairs globally. This knowledge is supplemented by my expertise in political theory and its application.
Since I have finished high school I have been engaged in various forms of education. This included work as a teacher in India, China Vietnam and the Netherlands. While working at an Australian school in Vietnam I was trusted with the role of coordinator for humanities and social sciences. I was mostly teaching the Australian curriculum, which I modified to meet the demands of the students as well as the accreditation office of Western Australia. However I was also deeply involved in the creation and implementation of the American History curriculum of the American Diploma program at the school.

Strategic Market Researcher for Market Entry & Opportunity Analysis.
Specialized in delivering data-driven market insights that support high-impact business decisions.
Market entry decisions, revenue opportunities, and competitive positioning — these are high-stakes calls that need more than a Google search. Since 2021, I've delivered research that clients actually act on, across European, Middle Eastern, and US markets.
Working with clients ranging from Mastercard to fintech startups in Germany and B2B firms in Saudi Arabia, my research has determined market viability, quantified barriers to entry, and surfaced revenue opportunities that weren't on the client's radar yet.
Having worked on large-scale research projects — including long-term collaboration with enterprise clients — I understand the importance of accuracy, clarity, and actionable outcomes. My background in physics and engineering strengthens my analytical approach and attention to detail.
Projects typically include TAM/SAM/SOM estimation, competitor benchmarking, industry landscape analysis, barrier-to-entry evaluation, survey-based research, and market feasibility studies. I combine quantitative data from platforms like Statista and SimilarWeb with structured analysis in Excel and survey insights to produce decision-ready reports, dashboards, and strategic briefs. I translate complex market data into clear strategic recommendations.
I deliver in whatever format drives your decisions — reports, strategic briefs, spreadsheets, or presentations.
100% Job Success Score. $50k+ earned. 60+ projects completed.
