The Senior Strategist will lead the development and delivery of GSCC’s Asia industry and trade strategy, using industrial competitiveness, trade relationships and supply-chain transformation as levers to accelerate the region’s clean-energy transition.
Working at the intersection of strategic communications, industrial policy and regional campaigning, the role will identify where business interests, market demand and cross-border investment can create opportunities for change. It will turn these opportunities into focused campaigns that strengthen the case for affordable, reliable clean power, greener industrial development and low-carbon supply chains.
The role will connect regional developments with national priorities, working closely with country teams to translate external market signals, industrial opportunities and credible partner voices into domestic policy influence. This includes helping shape Korea’s role in Asia’s green transition, while developing a broader Southeast Asian portfolio on green industry, trade and supply chains.
The Senior Strategist will line manage one or two Associates and provide strategic direction, prioritisation and support across their work.
