I need a seasoned analyst to keep me ahead of fast-moving geopolitical developments, with an emphasis on clear-headed policy interpretation that directly informs business and security decisions. Because the role involves handling export-controlled and other sensitive material, you must be a U.S. citizen and comfortable working under U.S. compliance frameworks. Scope of work • Track and synthesize open-source and classified-when-available information on global affairs, prioritising the American strategic landscape while drawing on your overseas assignment experience for comparative insight. • Produce concise policy briefs that explain how new legislation, defense posture shifts, sanctions, or alliance realignments affect risk exposure and opportunity mapping. • Connect dots across regions to highlight knock-on effects—e.g., how an Asia-Pacific trade negotiation might reframe a Latin-American supply chain or an Eastern-European flashpoint. • Maintain an evolving risk matrix and a dashboard of early-warning indicators that I can reference at a glance. • Deliver weekly written updates plus an ad-hoc rapid-response memo when events break. Required profile – Demonstrated track record in geopolitical intelligence or strategic planning. – Prior overseas posting that sharpened your cultural situational awareness. – Mother-tongue English writing skills; fluency in Spanish, Mandarin, or Arabic is a welcome edge but not mandatory. – Solid command of analytical toolsets such as Palantir, Tableau, or similar visualisation platforms and the usual OSINT staples (Factiva, LexisNexis, Janes). Acceptance criteria 1. First policy brief delivered within ten days, no more than 1,500 words, citing at least five primary sources. 2. Risk matrix updated every seven days with timestamped data inputs. 3. All deliverables formatted in Word and PDF, with an executive summary capped at 250 words.

Hi, I can surely assist you in creating clear, well-researched geopolitical policy briefs and risk reports that help support informed business and security decisions. I have experience researching complex topics, analyzing reliable sources, and turning detailed information into concise, easy-to-understand reports. I can deliver weekly updates, maintain a structured risk matrix, and prepare rapid-response memos when major developments occur. My focus is always on accuracy, clarity, and meeting deadlines while following your required format. I have two questions: 1. Will all research be based on open-source information, or will access to any internal or restricted materials be provided? 2. Do you already have a preferred template for the policy briefs and risk matrix, or should I create one from scratch? Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.

One thing first: I'm based in mainland China and not a U.S. citizen, so this bid is for the slice of the role you flagged as a welcome edge, the Mandarin-source coverage, and whether that fits alongside your citizenship requirement is your call to make. The early-warning lead you describe mostly starts in Chinese primary sources. MOFCOM export-control notices, MIIT industrial-policy drafts, Politburo readouts and customs releases move 24 to 72 hours before they surface in Factiva or the English wires, and I read them natively the hour they publish. Your example of an Asia-Pacific trade negotiation reframing a Latin American supply chain is precisely the kind of connection that depends on catching the Chinese end early. On mechanics: weekly briefs under 1,500 words with five-plus primary sources and a 250-word executive summary in Word and PDF, rapid-response memos when something breaks, and the risk matrix kept as a live artifact with timestamped inputs on your seven-day refresh, built in Tableau. Twenty years building data systems means that dashboard stays maintained infrastructure rather than a spreadsheet that goes stale. I'd deliver the first brief inside your ten-day window on a China-exposure topic such as semiconductors or critical minerals, and let the sourcing speed make the case.
