- Lead, coach, mentor, and manage research interns.
- Author, co-author, and oversee short, medium, and long-form intelligence products.

- Exceptional writing skills, proven independent research skills, good initiative, and the ability to collaborate on research projects; experience writing for a policy audience is a plus.
- Eagerness for professional development in briefing and presentation skills including experience conveying information to senior-level decision-makers and developing public speaking and briefing skills.
- Excellent qualitative and analytic skills, and ability to represent material graphically in team-oriented settings. Comfort with integrating technology into research, and knowledge of using ArcGIS a plus.
