With every project you will be expected to build up knowledge of new industries, political trends, commercial developments, and key figures within business and politics. You will be responsible for leading open-source intelligence projects and become skilled in using a range of research tools and databases, and receive training in our approach and analytical methodologies.

Applications from graduates as well as more experienced analysts are welcome. Due to the international nature of the work, additional languages are a strong advantage. Eligibility to work in South Africa is required.
