We analyze Africa's complex political and business landscapes, offering services that encompass policy analysis, policy consulting, and risk mitigation.

    Role Description

    This position is responsible for providing policy analysis, policy consulting, and risk mitigation support to companies investing in Africa. Drawing upon your local information networks and observations within your country of residence, you will interpret policy shifts, anticipate the impact of political trends on the business environment, and produce professional analytical reports and consulting recommendations.

    Core Responsibilities

    • Conduct policy analysis: Interpret policy changes and assess their impact on the business and investment environment.
    • Provide policy consulting: Deconstruct the underlying logic behind local decision-making and offer actionable strategies for clients to navigate these dynamics.
    • Implement risk mitigation: Anticipate potential political and policy-related risks and propose preventive or mitigating measures.
    • Produce regular briefings on political and business developments within your specific country, or participate in specialized consulting projects.

    • Have relevant experience in policy research, government consulting, parliamentary affairs, political party think tanks, or political risk analysis.
    • Understand the decision-making logic and the driving forces behind policy evolution within their country of residence.
    • Possess established information channels and demonstrate strong capabilities in information vetting and critical assessment.
    • Exhibit commercial acumen and the ability to anticipate shifting trends within the political and business landscape.

    Professional Skills

    • Strong capabilities in information gathering, logical analysis, and critical assessment.
    • Ability to independently produce professional policy analysis reports and country-specific situational briefings.
    • A track record of consistently monitoring the political, economic, and social landscape of African nations.
    • Highly effective communication skills, a strong sense of responsibility, and the flexibility to respond to project requirements.

    Candidate Attributes

    • Independent thinker: Adept at uncovering the true logic underlying policy decisions.
    • Action-oriented: Capable of translating political analysis into actionable business recommendations.
    • Highly responsible: Committed to timely delivery and proactive communication.
    • Flexible and responsive: Capable of both producing quick, concise commentaries and undertaking in-depth research projects.

    Why Choose This Role?

    If you are passionate about interpreting Africa's political and business landscapes, aspire to see your analysis inform real-world cross-border investment decisions, and enjoy a flexible, high-reward consulting work model—then this is the role for you.

  • Policy Research And Analysis: 4 to 5 years
  • Political Risk Assessment: 4 to 5 years
  • Government Affairs And Consulting: 4 to 5 years
  • Country Report Drafting : 4 to 5 years
  • Information Vetting And Cross-Verification: 4 to 5 years
