Job Details

Whilst some of us may have Brexit/politics overload, there’s certainly never been a more interesting and unpredictable time to be in public affairs. To this end, we have a senior level opportunity to head up the Public Affairs division of a well-respected communications agency.

Perhaps you are working for a large global agency and are craving more autonomy, with the chance to shape things at a senior level in an independent agency? Or you’ve cut your teeth at some of the more obvious names in public affairs and are looking for something a bit different?

This could be the ideal next step for you.

This agency is one of the highest performing independent communications agencies, with storytelling at its heart. With a multi-offering across consumer, corporate affairs, technology, influencer marketing and digital/social, they aren’t one of the traditional public affairs agencies that may immediately come to mind, making this a really interesting opportunity for someone looking for something different.

We are looking for a senior PA practitioner to head up the Public Affairs practice. The division sits within the wider Corporate Affairs practice with blue-chip brands across FMCG, professional/business services, retail, technology, sustainability and healthcare.

The team has helped develop positioning and PA campaigns on energy tariffs, the sugar tax and is currently developing responses to the Government’s plastic reduction policies. It has also supported the agency’s technology clients sell into the Public sector (Defence, Health, Cabinet Office, HMRC, MOJ and DWP).

There is real opportunity to expand the PA practice and offering, cross-selling these services to the huge breadth of clients across the agency, supporting clients as they respond to potential legislation around data, child protection and taxation. In addition to growing the practice with new business wins of course. 

About You:

  • 10+ years’ experience in agency
  • Multi sector experience
  • Proven track record in winning and running clients
  • Able to consult at a senior level on strategy, positioning, policy change and stakeholder engagement
  • Team management experience

In return:

  • Subsidised gym
  • Healthcare, dentalcare
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Paid sabbatical
  • Flexible working
  • 28 days annual leave + opportunity to buy more
  • Childcare vouchers
  • Subsidised work perks
  • Industry leading training
