Business Development & Geopolitics Internship

Business Development & Geopolitics (Co-op)

Location: Remote (CA, IL, MA, & NY only) 
Schedule: Full-time Co-op (July– December) 
Reports to: Director of Geopolitics

Note that is an internship or co-op role. Recent grads may also apply. Note that the official role title may change slightly to reflect your classification (co-op/ internship, etc.)

About the role

You’ll help run pilots, guide onboarding, capture ROI, and open new opportunities across national security, finance, and insurance.

You will work directly with our geopolitics lead, a widely published and externally engaged expert whose work shapes how governments, institutions, and senior decision-makers understand global risk.

You will serve as a trusted right hand—supporting research, writing, coordination, and execution across fast-moving geopolitical workstreams. This role is ideal for someone considering a future in geopolitics, policy, national security, or strategic analysis and who wants hands-on mentorship in how ideas move from analysis to impact.
