We are looking for a Foreign Affairs Analyst to join our team and provide expert insights into global political, economic, and security developments. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in international relations, political science, or a related field, and possess the analytical skills necessary to interpret complex geopolitical trends. This role involves monitoring international news, preparing detailed reports, and advising policymakers or corporate leaders on foreign affairs issues.
As a Foreign Affairs Analyst, you will be expected to stay abreast of current events and emerging global trends that may impact national interests or business operations. You will work closely with government agencies, think tanks, or multinational corporations to provide timely and accurate assessments of foreign policy developments. Your work will contribute to strategic decision-making processes and help shape responses to international challenges.
Key aspects of the role include conducting in-depth research, analyzing diplomatic communications, and synthesizing information from a variety of sources. You will also be responsible for preparing briefings, white papers, and policy recommendations. Strong writing and presentation skills are essential, as you will often be required to communicate complex ideas to non-specialist audiences.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a deep understanding of international institutions, regional dynamics, and the interplay between domestic and foreign policy. Familiarity with key global regions such as the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Europe, or Latin America is highly desirable. Language skills and experience living or working abroad are also valuable assets.
This position offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment, where your insights can have a real-world impact. If you are passionate about global affairs and enjoy working at the intersection of politics, economics, and security, we encourage you to apply.
