Contract: Full-time, [12-month renewable], Syrian labour law

Experience: 3–5 years

Deadline: 10 September 2026

PraDam Group, a consulting firm operating in Syria through its local arm, Baseline Consulting and Research, is seeking a Research Assistant — Economical & Geopolitical Research for Syria and Lebanon

The successful candidate will translate dense analytical content into clear, credible visual products — both publication-grade documents and the digital assets that carry our findings to a wider audience. The standard throughout is accuracy and institutional credibility, not promotional flourish.

Publications

• Design and lay out policy papers, research reports, briefs, and executive summaries in English and Arabic.
• Build data visualisations (charts, comparative tables, timelines, thematic maps) in coordination with  researchers and analysts.
• Apply donor visibility and branding guidelines (e.g. UN, EU, GIZ) accurately across deliverables.
• Develop and maintain reusable templates:  report layouts, presentation decks, proposal and tender documents.
• Prepare print-ready and digital-ready files; manage version control and design archives.

Digital and social

• Adapt research findings into social-ready  assets: summary carousels, key-figure cards, chart snippets, and launch visuals for LinkedIn, X, and Instagram.
• Maintain platform-correct specifications  and a consistent visual system across channels, in both Arabic and English.
• Coordinate with research and  communications staff on publication timing, and observe embargo and clearance rules before any material is posted.

• 5 years of professional design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating both long-form document layout and social content for an organisation or institution. 

· Advanced command of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. 

· Experience with donor-funded reporting and visibility requirements. 

· Figma, presentation-template engineering, or map-based visuals (QGIS or equivalent). 

· Demonstrated skill in Arabic typography and right-to-left layout, alongside English layout. 

· Ability to read a chart or dataset and represent it accurately; comfort working from Excel outputs. 

· Working proficiency in written English and Arabic. 

· Sound editorial judgement: the ability to simplify a finding without distorting it.
