Join the Network

We are looking for the next generation of public affairs and communications talent, motivated and excited by the challenge of working within a high-quality, challenger brand in the London market and alongside our international colleagues.

Our summer internship will give you first-hand exposure to working in a fast-paced, ambitious public affairs and strategic communications group, rooted in Nordic values and a European culture. With a focus on supporting clients in the London market, this opportunity is suited to those with a solid understanding of the British political and media sectors, looking for their first experience in consultancy.

What to expect from your internship

During your internship, you will primarily support our research function, which leads our political and media monitoring and information gathering. You will be involved in the drafting of research and briefing notes, providing valuable information that can support our clients and your senior colleagues. You will also be supporting communications accounts with the drafting of press releases and online content including for social media and websites.

You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of how a fast-paced consultancy works, as well as building essential public affairs skills and awareness of client management.

A successful internship would strongly support an application for a permanent role for someone looking to make the transition to a more permanent role.
