• Develop and deliver a mix of thematic and quantitative research, including periodic deep-dive reports and concise, impactful daily output for internal and client audiences.
• Map out how geopolitical scenarios, such as elections, policy shifts, and regime changes, affect local and global markets.
• Create clear, compelling macro and market narratives connecting politics to concrete market outcomes.
• Act as a cross-functional resource, working closely with country risk and sectoral analysts to integrate their expertise into market-relevant outputs.
• Devise and launch new research products that connect Eurasia Group's political and macroeconomic analysis to tangible investment outcomes, enhancing client value and retention.
• Dedicate at least 30% of time to direct client interaction (via calls, in-person meetings, digital channels), developing strong client relationships that drive retention and upsells.
• Be an expert resource for colleagues to help spot and highlight market risks and opportunities with strong political underpinnings.
• Continuously generate innovative research ideas that expand EG's capabilities and differentiate us as a thought leader in geoeconomics.

• Proven ability to synthesize complex macroeconomic and geopolitical scenarios and clearly communicate likely market outcomes.
• Demonstrable track record with sophisticated institutional investors, such as asset managers, in delivering insightful, value-add commentary and analysis.
• Strong quantitative skills, including Excel and Bloomberg; familiarity with Macrobond and programming languages a plus.
• Capacity to create both thematic research (big-picture narratives) and in-depth quantitative/technical analysis.
• Exceptionally strong written and verbal communication skills; able to present complex arguments with clarity to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Based in New York or London, with significant domestic and international travel expected.
• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree a plus.
• Eligible to work in the United States or the United Kingdom.

Career Development:

This is a high-profile, global-facing role offering significant exposure to cutting-edge geopolitical and market analysis. Success will be measured by analytical impact, product development, and deepening client relationships, with the opportunity to expand responsibilities, build a team, and establish thought leadership within EG and the broader market community.

The applicable base salary range for this role is $150,000 to $170,000. 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.
