Our client, a dynamic and innovative consultancy operating across public affairs, political intelligence, and media strategy, is seeking a talented consultant to join their team as either a Senior Account Executive or Account Manager.
This agency is a forward looking and pioneering place to work; their offer to clients is somewhat different and more strategic than many of their competitors. This role is a great opportunity for a consultant who would like the chance to work in a more considered and less tactical way, and also offers the prospect of working across a range of policy areas.
The role will entail:
- Access to a high quality of work for engaged and committed clients across a range of sectors;
- The opportunity to develop compelling engagement strategies and campaigns;
- Managing on-going contact programs with parliamentarians from both houses, as well as the media and other key stakeholders;
- Monitoring developments across the policy landscape and providing succinct and highly informed updates to clients.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience in frontline politics, whether as a parliamentary aide or with a party headquarters;
- Experience of public affairs, either in-house or within a consultancy, ideally working on a generalist basis;
- Highly developed communications skills (including the ability to write compellingly and to a very high standard);
- A deep understanding of the impact which policy changes can have on businesses, and the commercial imperatives under which companies operate.
