Main purpose of job:
Understanding the political landscape and system underpins much of our work at the British Office and drives policymaking in London. The Political Section is responsible for delivering that understanding and policy advice. You will be the team’s leading expert on Taiwanese politics, key political trends and developments, and on Taiwan’s democratic development. Your analysis and reporting, formed by robust research and engagement, will help to deepen our understanding of Taiwan.
As part of the British Office team, you will support the UK’s strengthening of our unofficial relations with Taiwan. You will play a key role in delivering our goals on shared democratic values and our engagement with local authorities. Your effective use of existing and new networks will help the British Office strengthen our connections, relationships and influence to drive forward UK objectives in Taiwan.
This is an exciting, important and meaningful position that will expose you to a range of colleagues, stakeholders and policy areas. The role is best suited to someone who enjoys acquiring and sharing expertise, able to make sense of complexity, has strong prioritisation skills, communicates effectively in both English and Mandarin, and most importantly, relishes keeping a finger on the pulse of Taiwan’s domestic political developments and conversations.
