+ Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to produce clear, compelling materials for clients and the media.
+ Excellent project management, organisational, and multi-tasking abilities.
+ Experience advising clients on reputation, media engagement, and issues management.
+ A proactive, solution-oriented approach with attention to detail.
+ Strong media contacts, and experience building media relationships.
+ Ability to think strategically and deliver against client objectives.
+ Interest in business, current affairs, politics, and the wider stakeholder landscape.
+ Eligibility - you must have the right to work in the UK and be able to work in our Bankside office at least 3 days p/week.
**What We Offer You:**
+ A warm and friendly team with a fantastic portfolio of global and UK clients
+ A truly global network, the opportunity to be part of multi-market campaigns, regularly working with colleagues across the globe.
+ A strengths-based L&D framework with an in-house coach and development opportunities for career defining work.
+ We've fully embraced hybrid and flexible working. We have a great office and human contact remains an important element of our culture
+ Work-life balance, we all work hard but having a life outside work matters to all of us, and we support each other to achieve it.
+ Culture Club - from office manicures, nutritionists, inhouse massage and acupressure sessions, to Yoga on the roof terrace, quizzes, boot camps, exhibits and summer and Christmas get-togethers.
