Job profile
We are looking for an energetic highly-organised Associate to join our fast-growing team. The ideal candidate will be confident, presentable, articulate and be able to demonstrate a keen interest in politics and public affairs as well as a creative approach to problem solving. They will be equally comfortable providing research support to our senior team and dealing directly with clients, partner agencies and suppliers. Our work takes us from FTSE 100 firms to local community groups and everything in between, so the candidate who fills this role will need to be able to adapt to the different needs and demands of all our clients to make sure they get the level and type of service they require. Often our work takes us out of the office to deliver public consultations, exhibitions and events; so a willingness to roll-up your sleeves and get involved is also a must.
An active interest in politics and experience of working in Westminster is desirable.
