Join the Network

Development Intelligence is a specialist political strategy consultancy that helps its clients successfully navigate the politics of the planning process, be that at neighbourhood, local, regional, devolved or national government level.

Planning is always political. Thus every significant project needs a political strategy. We provide our clients with the intelligence, strategy and campaign support to win. 

Like any other successful and growing company, we’re always on the lookout for more brilliant people to join us.

The role

This is a senior role where you'll be managing your own portfolio of client projects which involve political research, campaigns, political and community outreach and media relations.

You’ll support the development and execution of political/campaign strategies to achieve client objectives at local, devolved and national government level.

About you

We are looking for people who are experienced in all of the above – people who are politically aware or active and have experience of working on campaigns, e.g. for a political party, union or NGO. If you have previous account management experience at a PR or public affairs consultancy, that’s great, but not essential.

You are confident, articulate and experienced in managing multiple projects and working to tight deadlines. And ideally you’ll have knowledge and understanding of local/national government and experience or interest in the planning and the built environment.

What we offer

We are committed to providing the best. So we offer a highly competitive and above industry standard salary and benefits package, including private healthcare, company pension and a generous holiday allowance. And because we’re absolutely committed to the importance of learning and development, we provide regular training, mentoring and potentially the opportunity to study and work in the US.

We like to work hard, but it’s very rewarding. We like to do things differently and we do lots of fun stuff too.
