Conduct frequent spot research and short-turnaround memo writing to support ongoing projects, senior leadership needs, and time-sensitive analytical requirements.
Prepare read-ahead materials, briefing papers, and presentations in advance of planning exercises, working group sessions, and other internal and external project engagements.
Collaborate closely with the project team to produce research inputs, analytical assessments, and background materials used in drafting reports, briefings, and other project outputs.
