Senior Research Analyst – U.S. Governance & Policy
Merantau Analytics is looking for a senior research analyst with deep experience in U.S. government, policy, or defense. The ideal candidate will have first-hand understanding of how decisions are actually made—not just how they are reported. This is not a role for someone who only reads the news. It is for someone who knows the people, the processes, and the unwritten rules.
Ideal Background:
- Experience in U.S. government, military, intelligence, or policy roles
- Deep understanding of U.S. governance, industry, and culture
- Strong professional network and access to informed professional perspectives
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide analysis on U.S. policy, governance, and political dynamics
- Identify key players, decision points, and emerging trends
- Deliver actionable insight to clients with senior-level judgment
All research and analysis must be conducted lawfully and ethically. This role does not involve seeking, accessing, or disclosing classified, confidential, proprietary, or otherwise restricted information.
