Global Trade & Policy Analyst
We are looking for an exceptional Global Trade & Policy Analyst to join our research team.
The successful candidate will be required to produce high-quality, evidence and interview-based research on a range of issues including global trade and investment, digitalisation, data/data governance, geopolitics and energy security. The candidate must have exceptional writing skills and produce concise, well-written briefing papers, research reports and market intelligence. We are looking for someone who can analyse the implications of economic and political developments; make the connections between economics, politics, technology and business; identify emerging trends; and explain their implications to a business and policy audience.
Asia House is a platform which convenes global leaders in policy and business, and much of our research is interview based. The successful candidate will be heavily involved with convening roundtables and focus groups to collate insights for our research and facilitate discussion and debate.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
