This role is ideal for candidates who are passionate about politics and the ability to create change by working in and with governments. Candidates must have the ability to operate directly with clients, which include Ministers, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Heads of State. Candidates must also be able to work across TBI with professionalism, confidentiality, integrity, collaboration, and diplomacy.

This is not an entry level role. Candidates with over three (3) years of full-time experience will be considered, ideally in management consulting, government advisory, public sector, or policy. The ideal candidate will have a graduate degree, though it is possible that successful applicants will still be early in their career with a high degree of learning and development potential.

Preference will be given to candidates who are proficient in English and at least one other language at a level strong enough to engage with senior politicians in the region.

The Associate will be based in Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar.
