• Produce high-difficulty expert tasks in political policy analysis.
• Develop gold-standard solutions and practical, evidence-based recommendations.
• Conduct regulatory-impact analysis across economic, social, legal, and operational dimensions.
• Perform stakeholder analysis and weigh competing interests.

An advanced degree such as an MPP, MPA, PhD, or equivalent postgraduate qualification in public policy, political science, economics, public administration, or a closely related field is required. A bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience in any field is also required as an educational or professional background qualification and does not replace the advanced-degree requirement.

• Strong analytical skills, accuracy, policy knowledge, and sound professional judgment.

Helpful Experience
