North America Cross-Border Analyst
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
You will join me on a remote, part-time basis to track and interpret cross-border dynamics between the United States, Mexico and Canada. My clients—mid-to-large private-sector firms that depend on policy foresight—expect clear, actionable insight rather than news aggregation, so depth of analysis is essential.
Scope of work
• Monitor legislative moves, trade negotiations, immigration policy shifts, supply-chain security measures, and emergent security threats on both borders.
• Turn raw information into a well-structured narrative that highlights business implications, risk levels, and likely next steps from key actors.
Primary deliverable
A detailed written report (roughly 3,000–4,000 words) delivered every Friday. It must include an executive summary, properly cited sources, a risk matrix, and a section that translates policy developments into operational guidance for private-sector decision makers.
Acceptance criteria
1. Timely submission.
2. All claims backed by verifiable open-source or subscription data.
3. Analysis stays focused on cross-border U.S.–Mexico and U.S.–Canada issues; domestic-only topics appear only when they materially affect the borders.
Background that meshes well with the role includes experience inside government agencies, security think tanks, or companies supporting defense and geopolitical programs. A current security-clearance level is not mandatory, but familiarity with the procedures is a plus.
Compensation
The formal range is US $3,000–5,000 per month, aligned to output quality and the roughly 20-hour weekly commitment.
