The Forum is building a small, senior team of people who combine policy expertise with genuine curiosity about quantum technology. If you want to work on questions that governments are actively grappling with, in a field where the governance frameworks are still being written, this is the place.

What working here looks like

QPF is headquartered in Bled, Slovenia but operates as a distributed team. Most of our work (research, analysis, editorial production, subscriber engagement) happens remotely. We care about the quality of thinking you produce, not where you produce it.

The exception is events and engagements. The Forum convenes its own roundtables, working groups, and conferences in person, in locations that match the policy audience: Bled, Brussels, Geneva, Washington, Singapore, and elsewhere as the work demands. We are also regularly invited to participate in government advisory sessions, board-level briefings, and closed-door policy consultations hosted by others. The public events calendar will only show part of the picture. If your role involves events, stakeholder engagement, or advisory work, expect travel commitments that are higher than what is publicly visible.

We are a small organization doing work that typically requires much larger teams. That means broad responsibility, direct access to senior policymakers and industry leaders, and an expectation that you will own your domain rather than wait for instructions. It also means the learning curve is steep and the pace is fast.

What we look for

Specific qualifications vary by role, but three qualities run through everything we do.

Policy fluency
You understand how government decisions are made, how regulatory frameworks function, and how policy language maps to operational reality. This can come from working in government, in a policy-adjacent role in industry, in a think tank, or in regulatory affairs. What matters is that you can read a legislative text and immediately identify what it means for the people subject to it.
Technical credibility
You don’t need a physics PhD, but you need to be comfortable with the underlying technology. When a briefing item covers NIST’s PQC algorithm selections, lattice-based versus hash-based cryptography, or the difference between logical and physical qubits, the analysis must be technically precise. Our audience includes people who build these systems. They will notice errors.
Clear, disciplined writing
Every role at QPF involves writing, whether that is briefing items, event programmes, partnership proposals, or internal analysis. We hold all output to a high editorial standard: precise language, honest uncertainty, no filler. If you can explain a complex policy development in 200 words that a minister would read and act on, you belong here.
