Strategic Insights Partner (Geopolitical & Security Focus) at DiploSight

The Job
DiploSight connects global investors with the critical insights they need to navigate international complexity. We value unique perspectives and deep understanding above all.

This role is for a seasoned professional with a verifiable track record of producing decision grade analysis in demanding institutional settings - such as government agencies, defense and security policy bodies, leading think tanks, or international organizations. You will focus on deep research and insight generation, working closely with our internal Business Managers who handle all client liaison and task coordination.

This is a project based, remote position with a starting rate of $600 per project per week. Successful advisors are quickly transitioned to a monthly retainer starting at $2,000, rewarding consistent, high value contributions.

Responsibilities
As a Strategic Insights Partner, you will serve as a key member of our expert network, dedicated to delivering high quality analytical products. All tasks are assigned and coordinated exclusively through a Business Manager, allowing you to concentrate on deep analysis without client facing responsibilities.

• Execute Designated Research & Analysis - Conduct in depth research on specific geopolitical, economic, or defense and security topics as defined in taskings from your Business Manager.
• Author High Quality Analytical Reports - Produce well structured, evidence based, and insightful written reports that provide direct decision support for our clients.
• Leverage Expertise & Professional Networks - Proactively use your specialized knowledge and industry contacts to gather critical information, validate findings, and provide unique context for your analysis.
• Provide Internal Strategic Input - Your analysis and reports will serve as core inputs, which our business team synthesizes into final strategic advice and solutions for clients.
