  • Track AI policy and regulatory activity in the US and other key international markets.
  • Draft short briefings, research notes, and summaries for internal readers.
  • Identify policy risks and opportunities for Tencent's AI and cloud businesses.
  • Help draft policy stances, regulator submissions, and outward-facing material.
  • Support meeting and conference preparation for policy discussions and speaking engagements.
  • Help manage relationships with think tanks, academics, trade associations, and policy groups.

What it asks for

  • Bachelor's degree required in policy, international affairs, computer science, law, or a related field.
  • Strong skill in research, writing, and analysis.
  • Strong interest in AI, technology policy, and emerging technologies.
  • Ability to turn complex information into clear, actionable insights.
  • Ability to stay organized and precise across many tasks.
