This position will report to Marc Gustafson, Senior Director of Analysis, and will work closely with analysts and management stakeholders to translate global political and macroeconomic trends into what matters for investors.

This role is primarily internal and will have no travel requirement.

• Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to express ideas clearly and succinctly.
• Strong familiarity with global politics; fluency in economic and market concepts  preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to translate global trends into investor-relevant implications.
• Intellectual curiosity and creativity, with a willingness to take initiative and “get hands dirty” on longer-term projects with light supervision.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; comfortable managing multiple workstreams and deadlines.
• Proficiency with the Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook); familiarity with data analysis or data visualization tools is a plus.

The applicable base salary range for this role is $55,000 to $60,000.

The base pay offered will be determined on factors such as experience, skills, training, location, certifications, and education. Decisions will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
