@josephlovegrove
Public policy and political economy graduate delivering multi-country research, compliance, and market intelligence impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a Public Policy and Political Economy graduate with hands-on experience leading end-to-end research and multi-country projects, managing budgets of tens of thousands, recruiting and coaching teams, and delivering work across 31 African and 3 Middle Eastern countries. At Trendtype I cut project costs by 25%, supported consulting for clients including Nestle, Red Bull and Unilever, and contributed to revenue growth of over £100,000 while increasing the company’s LinkedIn presence by over 50%.
I combine academic rigour—MA (Distinction) and BA (First Class)—with practical compliance and customer-facing experience, having worked on KYC and FCA-aligned procedures, high-volume customer service, and academic research presented to senior figures. I excel at clear written reporting, data-driven analysis using STATA and Excel, and translating complex findings into actionable intelligence for stakeholders.
