About AMG Industries
AMG Industries is the premier market-entry consultancy bridging the gap between North American capital and the untapped mineral wealth of the Horn of Africa. Based in Hargeisa with a global reach, we specialize in de-risking high-potential investments in Somaliland. We provide the regulatory roadmap, government relations, and operational infrastructure that allow international mining companies to secure a "first-mover" advantage in one of the world’s last great geological frontiers.
About The Role
We need a sharp, analytical mind to serve as our "radar" in Hargeisa. The Policy Analyst will monitor the shifting tides of regulation, clan dynamics, and government sentiment. You are not just reporting news; you are interpreting why it matters to a foreign mining company. You will work directly with the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MoEM) to track license applications and identify potential bottlenecks before they become problems.
Daily Required Tasks
Regulatory Monitoring: Track all gazetted and non-gazetted changes in the Mining Code, Tax Law, and Labor Law.
Stakeholder Mapping: Maintain a live database of key decision-makers, clan elders, and influencers in target exploration zones (Sanaag, Awdal).
Intelligence Briefing: Write concise weekly briefs for our international clients summarizing political risks, security updates, and economic trends.
Due Diligence: Conduct background checks on local partners and vendors to ensure client compliance with anti-corruption standards.
Ministry Liaison: Attend public consultations and ministry meetings to represent AMG’s interests and gather intel.
What We're Looking For
Experience :
3+ years
Education: Degree in Political Science, Law, Economics, or International Relations.
Local Knowledge: Deep understanding of Somaliland’s political landscape, clan structures, and the "unwritten rules" of local business.
Language: Native fluency in Somali and professional-level fluency in English (written and spoken).
Skills: Ability to synthesize large amounts of information into clear, actionable bullet points.
Integrity: Uncompromising ethical standards and discretion when handling sensitive client data.
