<h3><strong>About InnoSphere Partners</strong></h3>
<p>InnoSphere Partners is a global consulting and research firm specializing in trade corridor design, infrastructure strategy, and cross-border economic integration. We work with governments, port authorities, and international agencies to strengthen connectivity, reduce logistics friction, and foster resilient trade systems in high-growth regions.</p>

<div>
<h3><strong>Role Overview</strong></h3>
<p>We are hiring a Southeast Asia Geopolitical Risk & Strategic Trade Corridors Analyst to support intelligence-led advisory work focused on geopolitical disruption, trade and regulatory risk, and the operational vulnerabilities of strategic logistics and manufacturing-linked infrastructure systems across Southeast Asia. This role sits at the intersection of geopolitical analysis, corridor diagnostics, and industrial supply chain intelligence—supporting projects connected to supply chain continuity, export competitiveness, and the resilience of regional production networks.</p>
<p>Based in Hanoi, the Analyst will contribute to structured risk briefs, scenario assessments, and decision-support materials for public institutions, infrastructure stakeholders, and development partners. The work will frequently intersect with regional manufacturing shifts, trade policy dynamics, export-control spillovers, maritime and land corridor dependencies, and the ways geopolitical and regulatory developments affect logistics continuity, industrial supply chains, and infrastructure competitiveness.</p>
<p>You will play a key role in translating geopolitical, regulatory, and security developments into actionable implications for corridor performance, investment prioritization, and contingency planning—producing outputs that are rigorous, defensible, and operationally useful.</p>
<h3><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Track and analyze geopolitical, regulatory, and trade developments affecting Southeast Asian manufacturing hubs, export corridors, and cross-border logistics systems</li>
<li>Produce structured risk notes and scenario briefs linking political and policy events to operational impacts such as supply chain disruption, rerouting, freight cost volatility, compliance exposure, and infrastructure vulnerability</li>
<li>Monitor trade agreements, export controls, industrial policy shifts, and related compliance regimes, assessing implications for trade flows, production ecosystems, and infrastructure operators</li>
<li>Conduct corridor-level diagnostics linking manufacturing clusters, port performance, border conditions, geopolitical risk, and infrastructure constraints to identify fragility points and escalation triggers</li>
<li>Develop scenario frameworks ranging from baseline stress to severe disruption and propose mitigation pathways including supply chain diversification, routing alternatives, resilience investments, and institutional coordination measures</li>
<li>Support stakeholder engagement with ports, logistics providers, industrial operators, regulators, and development partners through clear, decision-ready analytical outputs</li>
<li>Build and maintain risk dashboards and KPI frameworks for disruption monitoring, early-warning indicators, and corridor exposure tracking</li>
<li>Contribute to concept notes and pre-feasibility summaries for corridor and supply chain resilience initiatives, including trade facilitation measures, infrastructure upgrades, and production system optimization</li>
<li>Support rapid-response research during live disruptions, delivering concise assessments with clear assumptions, confidence levels, and operational recommendations</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Preferred Qualifications</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Degree in International Relations, Political Science, Economics, International Trade, Public Policy, Supply Chain Management, or a related field</li>
<li>2–5 years of experience in geopolitical risk analysis, strategic intelligence, trade corridor research, industrial policy analysis, or infrastructure advisory work</li>
<li>Familiarity with Southeast Asian manufacturing ecosystems, trade dynamics, export-oriented industries, and evidence-based scenario development is strongly preferred</li>
<li>Experience working with public-sector stakeholders, DFIs, donor-funded programs, or infrastructure-focused initiatives is a plus</li>
<li>Strong analytical writing skills, comfort translating complex geopolitical and regulatory developments into operational implications, and the ability to work under time pressure when needed</li>
<li>Fluency in English is required</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Application Instructions</strong></h3>
<p>Please submit your CV and a short letter of interest outlining your relevant experience and motivation. Selected candidates will be invited for a virtual interview and a written case assignment.</p>
