Senior Political & Economic Consultant – the Netherlands (Part-time, Remote – Netherlands-based)

Who we are

Global Strategic Consulting provides evidence-based strategic insights to help strengthen European sovereignty. We deliver high-quality analysis on politics, governance, economic systems, and institutional frameworks, enabling decision-makers to navigate an increasingly complex international environment.

We believe that Europe must redefine its position in an era of fragmented power dynamics. Our work focuses on the deep-seated transformations in global governance, competition over key technological sovereignty, and the structural reshaping of energy and supply chains. We also examine Europe's institutional strengths in sustainability standards, financial regulation, and data governance, helping our clients turn regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage.

Our commitment is to support investors, policymakers, and public institutions with rigorous, independent analysis in developing resilient strategies—safeguarding democratic values while reinforcing Europe's long-term economic security and technological autonomy. In doing so, we carefully assess the opportunities and risks presented by all major global actors.
