Policy Analyst

About Triangle 

Triangle is dedicated to bridging the gap between policy-making, empirical research, and media to yield enduring outcomes for our clients, create a fulfilling environment for our team, and make a positive impact on the communities where we operate. Through our policy and journalism arm—Badil—we utilize incisive reporting, evidence-based analysis, and diverse communication strategies to raise awareness, shape narratives, and influence policy solutions across a wide range of topics. By combining rigorous inquiry with effective storytelling, we seek to empower individuals and communities to have a more significant influence on the policy decisions that shape their lives. 

As an expanding organization, we are looking for driven individuals who can bring their expertise, ambition, and fresh ideas to strengthen our mission. Our work environment is multilingual and highly collaborative, with staff dispersed across multiple time zones and countries. Therefore, we seek colleagues who can work independently, manage projects, and deliver exceptional results. In return, we offer substantial autonomy and opportunities for professional growth. If this aligns with what you’ve been looking for, we would be delighted to hear from you.
