Strategic Foresight Consultant

Job No.: BRQ-EMEA-DXB-SFC-013
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Region: Bruqe EMEA
Team: Strategy & Foresight
Level: Consultant
Employment Type: Fixed-term
Reporting To: Engagement Lead, EMEA

The Role

Bruqe is seeking a Strategic Foresight Consultant to help corporate, investment, and public-sector leaders navigate decisions shaped by long-horizon uncertainty and systemic change.

You will lead substantial components of engagements involving scenario development, transition strategy, market evolution, technology disruption, policy change, and strategic resilience. The role combines client-facing consulting, structured foresight methods, systems thinking, and evidence-led strategic judgement.

What You Will Do

• Lead workstreams that frame and assess strategic questions involving uncertainty, transition, growth, resilience, investment, or long-term positioning.

• Develop scenario frameworks that examine how market, technology, policy, economic, operational, and stakeholder forces may evolve and interact.

• Facilitate client interviews, working sessions, and executive discussions to surface assumptions, test strategic choices, and build alignment.

• Design systems maps, uncertainty matrices, early-warning indicators, and decision frameworks that clarify material dependencies and trade-offs.

• Assess implications for strategic direction, capital allocation, portfolio choices, capabilities, partnerships, and operating models.

• Develop clear, rigorous client deliverables, including executive narratives, strategic options, scenario outputs, and action roadmaps.

• Support proposal development, intellectual-capital creation, and the continued refinement of Bruqe’s foresight methodologies.

What You Will Bring

• An undergraduate or postgraduate degree in business, economics, public policy, international relations, engineering, sustainability, technology, or a related discipline.

• Relevant experience in strategy consulting, strategic planning, corporate development, foresight, policy advisory, investment analysis, or a comparable client-facing environment.

• Demonstrated capability in scenario planning, systems thinking, strategic analysis, or decision-making under uncertainty.

• Strong problem-structuring and synthesis skills, with the ability to convert broad, ambiguous questions into practical strategic choices.

• Confidence working directly with senior stakeholders and facilitating constructive challenge in executive settings.

• Excellent written, visual, and verbal communication skills.

• Sound judgement, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to maintain analytical rigour in complex, fast-moving situations.

What Success Looks Like

You will help clients move beyond single-point forecasts and develop strategies that remain resilient across a range of plausible futures. Your work will make uncertainty more tractable, clarify the choices that matter most, and enable leaders to act with greater confidence, flexibility, and strategic intent.
