About the role
We're looking for a communications adviser who brings at least 4 years of experience in corporate communications, ideally specialised in science and frontier technology issues. We want someone who brings a genuine drive to go deep into unfamiliar territory, find the angles that others miss, and translate what you find into communications that land. The best consultants in this space operate a bit like investigative reporters - forensic enough to go deep into a subject, restless enough to extrapolate from it, and skilled enough to make it land with media (traditional and new), policymakers and technical talent. We want someone who has a proven track record of taking this approach to their work, rather than simply stating it. Consultants are the driving force behind our work. You'll be a trusted adviser who shapes client reputations in line with agreed strategy and priorities, applying your knowledge and insights to commercial challenges. You'll drive work across the team in a way that makes the most of everyone's skills and experience, support more junior colleagues to develop, and deputise for Directors and Partners when required.
Responsibilities
- Shape communications strategy
- Advise clients
- Develop the team
- You'll build and manage project plans, manage the work of junior colleagues, and support their development through coaching and constructive feedback. Encouraging continuous learning - and delegating effectively to enable it - is a core part of the role.
- Contribute to the business
- Build a collaborative environment
- You'll give and receive feedback regularly, actively seek input from colleagues at all levels, and demonstrate allyship to everyone on the team. Creating an inclusive environment where brilliant work happens is everyone's responsibility.
