Policy Analyst

AI is reshaping policy research and drafting, with tools like large language models now able to summarise legislation, compare policy options, and draft briefing notes. This reduces the time spent on rote research and writing, meaning analysts must shift focus to nuanced stakeholder engagement and strategic advice. However, over-reliance on AI can produce generic recommendations, so human judgment remains critical for context and political feasibility. Entry-level roles may see less demand for pure research, but demand for analysts who can oversee or validate AI-generated outputs is growing.
