Public Affairs Analyst

Would you like to understand how political and regulatory developments around the world affect the future of work, and help shape the conversation around them?

Join the global Public Affairs team of The Adecco Group as a Junior Public Affairs Analyst. You will work at the intersection of politics, labour markets, policy, technology and business, helping us monitor developments across the world and translate complex information into clear insights for colleagues and senior leadership.

The Adecco Group is the world’s leading talent company, operating through Adecco, Akkodis and LHH across 60 countries. Our purpose is making the future work for everyone.

Initially, this is a 12-month position starting in March 2027, based in the Netherlands. You will work at least two days per week from our Rotterdam office, with flexibility for the remaining working hours. Some international travel may be part of the role.

As Junior Public Affairs Analyst, you will become part of our international Group Public Affairs team. You will work closely with our Head of Policy Advocacy and Labour Market Intelligence Lead in the Netherlands.

Your role combines research and analysis with communication. You will help identify important labour-market and policy developments worldwide and turn complex topics into practical insights that can support decision-making across The Adecco Group.

Your responsibilities include:

• Monitoring, structuring and analysing labour-market policy and regulatory developments across the world, combining new AI-enabled tools with human judgement.
• Turning complex regulatory information into clear, concise and accessible policy updates for colleagues and business leaders.
• Conducting labour-policy research and translating your findings into analyses, briefings and presentations.
• Contributing to policy papers and helping formulate The Adecco Group's position on relevant developments.
  Working with internal experts to gather insights and understand the potential business impact of regulatory changes.
• Presenting insights and policy developments to different internal stakeholders.
• Supporting the development and organisation of policy events for relevant stakeholders.
• Exploring how AI and other emerging technologies can strengthen regulatory monitoring and intelligence.
• Supporting other activities within the international Group Public Affairs team.

You do not need years of professional experience for this opportunity. We are primarily looking for someone with potential: curious, analytical, communicative and eager to learn. The formal job description explicitly states that no paid work experience is required.

You could be a great fit if you:

• Have a strong interest in politics, public affairs, international relations, labour markets, policy or regulation.
• Enjoy researching complex subjects and turning information into a clear story.
• Are a confident writer who can structure information and communicate concisely.
• Are analytical and comfortable working independently on detailed research.
• Are equally comfortable connecting with people, asking questions and sharing your ideas.
• Are proactive, positive and willing to take ownership.
• Feel comfortable working in an international and multicultural environment.
• Are curious about technology and eager to work with AI and emerging regulatory-monitoring tools.
• Can communicate professionally in English; additional languages are a plus.
• Are able to work from Rotterdam at least two days per week.

Relevant experience or demonstrated affinity with public affairs, labour law, international public policy, politics or project management is an advantage!
