Media Intelligence Analyst (Contract)

Media Intelligence Analyst (Contract) — MIREMS Ltd.
Contract, remote, part-time
Reporting to: Senior Analyst, Western Europe
Priority languages (current open intake):
Estonian, Hungarian, Lithuanian
What MIREMS does
MIREMS provides multilingual media intelligence. We monitor foreign-language press, translate and summarize stories with direct Canadian relevance, and deliver structured daily and weekly intelligence products. Western Europe covers 33 countries across 30+ language environments.
The role
You will be responsible for one or more assigned language markets. Your work has three components:
✦ Source validation: review an assigned list of media outlets, confirm current publication status, assess editorial orientation, assign an initial relevance score. This is the entry task and the quality gate for onboarding.
✦ Monitoring: scan assigned sources daily or on a defined schedule; identify stories meeting the MIREMS Canada-relevance threshold; file a structured summary in English using the MIREMS template.
✦ Translation and annotation: provide working summaries in translation into English of priority stories; flag editorial framing, narrative alignment, and any disinformation signals.
What we are looking for
✦ Native or near-native fluency in at least one of the priority languages, with strong written English.
✦ Background in journalism, media analysis, political science, international relations, or translation. Graduate students in relevant fields are encouraged to apply.
✦ Familiarity with the media landscape of the assigned country — who owns what, what the editorial lines are, which outlets matter.
✦ Ability to work independently to a deadline and file structured reports. MIREMS products are time-sensitive; reliability is non-negotiable.
✦ Discretion. The work is sensitive by nature. Consultants operate under a standard confidentiality agreement.
✦ Skills and equipment: Basic MS365 or equivalent, browser searches and basic AI assistance understanding, personal laptop or desktop. Additional skills welcome.
What we offer
✦ Per-story and per-validation unit rates, disclosed at interview.
✦ Direct integration into a professional product — the work is real and consequential.
✦ A structured onboarding process with mentorship from senior analysts. You will not be handed a blank page.
✦ Opportunity to expand scope as the theater grows.

Send a brief letter of interest, your CV, and a short writing sample in your language of expertise (500–800 words, any subject) to consultants@mirems.com
