Job Description

The Job
DiploSight connects global investors with the critical insights they need to navigate international complexity. We value unique perspectives and deep understanding above all.

This role is for a seasoned professional with a verifiable track record of producing decision‑grade analysis in demanding institutional settings – such as government agencies, defense and security policy bodies, leading think tanks, or international organizations. You will focus on deep research and insight generation, working closely with our internal Business Managers who handle all client liaison and task coordination.

This is a project‑based, remote position with a starting rate of $600 per project per week . Successful advisors are quickly transitioned to a monthly retainer starting at $2,000 , rewarding consistent, high‑value contributions.

Responsibilities
As a Strategic Insights Partner, you will serve as a key member of our expert network, dedicated to delivering high‑quality analytical products. All tasks are assigned and coordinated exclusively through a Business Manager, allowing you to concentrate on deep analysis without client‑facing responsibilities.

• Execute Designated Research & Analysis – Conduct in‑depth research on specific geopolitical, economic, or defense and security topics as defined in taskings from your Business Manager.
• Author High‑Quality Analytical Reports – Produce well‑structured, evidence‑based, and insightful written reports that provide direct decision support for our clients.
• Leverage Expertise & Professional Networks – Proactively use your specialized knowledge and industry contacts to gather critical information, validate findings, and provide unique context for your analysis.
• Provide Internal Strategic Input – Your analysis and reports will serve as core inputs, which our business team synthesizes into final strategic advice and solutions for clients.

Qualifications & Skills
We hire based on merit. The following competencies and traits are the core criteria we use to evaluate candidates:

Core Competencies

• Exceptional Analytical & Research Skills – Ability to deconstruct complex issues, source information through multiple channels, and deliver logical, nuanced, and insightful analysis.
• Excellent Written English – Proven skill in writing structured, precise, and professional reports suited for a business leadership audience.
• Subject Matter Expertise & Network – Solid knowledge in a specific field (e.g., international relations, area studies, defense policy, economic statecraft) and the ability to effectively leverage your professional network to support your work.
• Strong Project Execution – High sense of responsibility and the ability to independently and reliably deliver high‑quality work within set deadlines.

Preferred Backgrounds
We seek experts from diverse backgrounds. Your experience may come from (but is not limited to) the following fields:

• Government, think tanks, or research institutions
• Corporate strategy, market intelligence, or risk analysis
• Journalism (particularly investigative or international news reporting)
• Defense and security‑related policy or operational roles
• International or non‑governmental organizations

What We Are Not Looking For

• Purely academic researchers without policy or operational exposure.
• Candidates whose primary experience is in student organizations, generalist NGOs, or entry‑level commercial intelligence without a clear institutional track record.
• Over‑inflated titles or self‑promotion without verifiable institutional backing.
