About the role

Byte Dance seeks a seasoned macro researcher to lead end-to-end analyses spanning geopolitics, tech governance, and global policy. You will synthesize complex information into strategic insights for senior leaders and build trusted relationships with leading scholars and policy experts. You will produce high-quality written intelligence products and deliver concise briefings to executive leadership, shaping long-term strategic context for the company's global operations.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
