We are seeking a highly analytical and forward-thinking Policy Researcher to join our team in Singapore. In this role, you will be at the forefront of deciphering global dynamics, analyzing great-power relations, and forecasting geopolitical and economic trends. Your insights will directly support strategic decision-making for government entities and corporate executives, with a specific lens on Singapore and the broader Indo-Pacific region.

• Author high-quality research briefs, white papers, and strategic recommendations tailored for government agencies, corporate executives, and public stakeholders.
• Maintain real-time tracking and analysis of policy evolutions and institutional shifts among major global powers, with a dedicated focus on the Indo-Pacific region.

• Synthesize global intelligence and open-source data to critically evaluate and forecast the socio-economic and political impacts on Singapore and the broader regional ecosystem.

Requirements

• Master’s degree or PhD in International Relations, Political Science, Public Policy, Strategic Studies, Economics, or a related discipline.

• Minimum of 3–5 years of professional experience in policy analysis, geopolitical risk consulting, thin-tanks, government research units, or corporate intelligence roles (Fresh PhDs with exceptional publication records may be considered).

• Deep Domain Expertise: Profound understanding of Indo-Pacific geopolitics, major-power dynamics (e.g., US-China relations), and ASEAN regional mechanisms.

• Proven capability to translate complex, ambiguous, and fragmented global data into structured, objective, and forward-looking insights.

• Communication Excellence: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to write in a concise, policy-oriented, and corporate-ready tone.
• Possess acute sensitivity to global and regional dynamics, particularly within the Indo-Pacific theater, with a proven track record of identifying emerging political risks, security threats, and strategic opportunities ahead of the curve.

Benefits

We offer a competitive monthly salary spanning $1,500 to $4,000. Final compensation will be dynamic and directly aligned with your professional expertise and demonstrated performance outcomes.

You will have great flexibility here in terms of time, allowing you to freely adjust your work pace while ensuring quality and perfectly balancing your main job with other life matters.
