You connect macro conditions and on-the-ground reality to a single commercial decision: whether, where, and how to enter or expand.
This role contributes across SISG's seven service areas, in its own dimension:
- Political and security risk. Translate political and security risk into commercial terms for an entry decision.
- Strategic intelligence and market entry. Lead market-entry assessments, opportunity mapping, and economic intelligence.
- Crisis and access. Build continuity and exit options into commercial strategy.
- IHL and compliance. Run counterpart, ownership, and integrity due diligence, and surface what public records miss.
- AI and influence threats. Assess narrative and reputational threats to a market position.
- Executive and asset protection. Factor principal and asset exposure into entry and expansion plans.
- Training and leadership advisory. Advise client leadership on go, no-go, and sequencing.
- An advanced university degree (Master's) in economics, finance, international business, or a related field.
- A first-level degree (Bachelor's) in a relevant field, together with two additional years of qualified experience, is accepted in lieu of the advanced degree.
- Minimum five years of professional experience with substantial international exposure.
- Demonstrated experience delivering work comparable to the responsibilities above, in market entry, commercial due diligence, or economic intelligence in emerging markets.
- English is required. Arabic or French is an asset.
- A record of integrity, discretion, and sound judgement under pressure, and of working effectively across disciplines and cultures.
This is a project-based associate engagement, not employment. Compensation is agreed per project. You invoice SISG as an independent professional and remain responsible for your own tax and social-security obligations. Work is mainly remote, with occasional site visits. Selected associates undergo due diligence and sign confidentiality and conflict-of-interest declarations. Joining the roster does not guarantee project assignment.
