Candidates preferably have relevant work or advisory experience with the current Austrian Federal Government (the ÖVP-SPÖ-NEOS coalition led by Chancellor Christian Stocker), along with a good understanding of and relevant connections to Austria’s core economic and diplomatic institutions.

This is a flexible, project-based, remote role designed for individuals who have held senior positions in relevant government or policy fields, or who possess related advisory experience.

• Draw on knowledge of the Austrian Federal Government and related institutions to deliver timely information and support for clients
• Conduct rapid, high-level analysis of legislative and regulatory developments under the current administration affecting business, investment, trade, and international relations
• Support clients on Austria–EU economic coordination, Central European positioning, bilateral economic diplomacy, and Austria’s evolving role in regional and global forums (including its non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council from 2027)
• Collaborate with Beijing Jinqian Consulting’s global experts on cross-border economic and geopolitical projects involving Austria

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of senior-level experience in government relations, public affairs, economic diplomacy, or policy consulting, with a clear focus on Austria’s economic and foreign-policy ecosystem
• Relevant experience working with or advising the current Austrian Federal Government or related policy teams
• Deep understanding of Austria’s economic legislative process, Austria–EU negotiations, trade policy, export-credit mechanisms, international sanctions, and the current government’s policy priorities
• Outstanding analytical and communication skills in German and English (full professional proficiency required); additional languages a plus
• Ability to deliver concise, decision-ready insights under tight deadlines in a fully remote environment
