The Role

We are looking for a Senior Research Associate to deliver high-quality research projects with a focus on innovation, development, and investment in the Asia Pacific region, as well as support with assignments focusing on emerging markets more broadly. You will work closely with high-profile clients, manage research delivery from design to outputs, and contribute directly to Briter Intelligence.

  • Produce accessible outputs such as reports, slide decks, dashboards, and policy briefs
  • Guide junior analysts and ensure quality and timeliness across projects
  • Contribute to proposal development, including methodology, budgeting, and partner engagement
  • Feed insights into Briter Intelligence and derivative platforms

Requirements

  • 5 to 10 years of experience in applied research, consulting, or development-sector analysis, especially in relation to emerging markets.
  • Based in India, Indonesia, Thailand, or Singapore, with familiarity with South or Southeast Asian innovation and investment ecosystems
  • Strong research and writing skills, with a track record of turning data into high-quality outputs
  • Proficiency in at least one data tool (Power BI, R, Python, or advanced Excel)
  • Experience conducting primary research through interviews, surveys, or fieldwork
  • Thematic knowledge in areas such as climate, agriculture, fintech, digital infrastructure, gender, or financial inclusion
  • Organised, independent, and able to manage concurrent projects
  • Bonus: proficiency in at least one local language

What we offer

  • Opportunity to contribute to a leading intelligence platform shaping decisions in innovation and development
  • A collaborative and flexible work environment with a regional team
  • Exposure to international forums and the chance to represent Briter at major industry events
  • Competitive compensation tied to fit and experience
