Consultant (Tech Policy)

Location: Singapore
Type: Full-time

The Role


You will be a core part of our strategic advisory team, guiding technology companies as they navigate complex and fast-evolving regulatory frontiers - from AI governance to platform regulation to data policy. Whether you're analysing a new regulatory proposal, mapping a fragmented regional landscape, or building relationships with policymakers and the broader ecosystem, your work will directly inform how clients engage and navigate these issues.

This is a launchpad for ambitious, analytically rigorous operators ready to deepen and apply their expertise in technology policy, while operating in an integrated public affairs context - connecting regulatory analysis to narrative and stakeholder engagement as a trusted advisor.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and deliver discrete client workstreams end-to-end, spanning regulatory research, policy analysis, and intelligence gathering across AI, platforms, data, and other frontier technology sectors

  • Monitor and interpret regulatory and legislative developments across key Asia-Pacific markets, distilling implications into clear recommendations for clients

  • Lead the development of high-quality outputs including briefing notes, regulatory trackers, stakeholder maps, and policy submissions - aligned to clients' objectives

  • Partner with senior team members to shape regulatory strategy and contribute meaningfully to internal and external discussions and presentations

  • Collaborate across policy, narrative, and creative teams to produce integrated, coherent deliverables

  • Support the development of junior team members through guidance, feedback, and quality control on outputs

What We're Looking For

  • Demonstrated ability to drive workstreams effectively towards strong outcomes

  • Developing expertise in tech policy domains (AI, data, platforms, emerging tech), with the ability to think and operate in an integrated public affairs context

  • Sound judgement, professionalism, and intellectual rigour

  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with evolving priorities

Experience & skills

You should have:

  • 4-6 years of experience in tech policy, government relations, regulatory affairs, consulting, or a related field

  • Strong research, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills, with comfort interpreting regulatory and legislative texts

  • Sound understanding of political, economic, or regulatory developments across Asia-Pacific

Bonus points

You’ll stand out if you:

  • Have experience in technology, AI, or emerging technology policy specifically

  • Have worked in government, regulatory bodies, industry associations, consultancies, or tech companies' policy teams

  • Enjoy translating complex regulatory developments into clear, actionable strategy
