Head of Strategic Analysis & Geopolitics (all genders, full-/parttime)

In this role, you will lead scenario-based outlooks, coordinate rapid response analysis on major geopolitical events, and advise senior leaders on options, tradeoffs, and recommended actions. You will build trusted networks across business sectors, corporate functions including strategy, legal, supply chain, and finance, as well as externally across government, academia, think tanks, and specialist advisory communities. You will also mentor colleagues, raise analytical standards, and help build a connected, high performing function.

Who You Are:

• You bring significant professional experience in geopolitical analysis, strategic intelligence, international affairs, government, diplomacy, public policy, or corporate strategy, with demonstrated expertise in major power relations and the global operating environment, including strong knowledge of the US, China, and the EU.
• You have a proven track record of producing high-quality strategic assessments, scenarios, and executive level advice on complex, fast moving issues, with the ability to distinguish structural shifts from short term events.
• You possess strong business acumen and understand how a diversified science and technology company creates value, makes decisions, and operates across markets; experience in healthcare, life science, electronics, semiconductors, or another regulated and technology intensive industry is strongly preferred.
• You translate complexity into clear judgements, implications, options, and recommendations for senior leaders, bringing a rigorous, evidence-based point of view while making uncertainty and critical assumptions explicit.
• You have excellent relationship building and influencing skills, with a track record of creating effective internal and external networks across functions, seniority levels, cultures, and geographies.
• You are collaborative, intellectually curious, and willing to challenge assumptions constructively; you are comfortable working with ambiguity, incomplete information, and high-stakes issues while maintaining analytical rigor and discretion.
• You communicate with excellence in written and verbal English; proficiency in additional languages relevant to major markets is an advantage.
