Who We Are
FTI Consulting is the leading global expert firm for organizations facing crisis and transformation. We work with many of the world's top multinational corporations, law firms, banks and private equity firms on their most important issues to deliver impact that makes a difference. From resolving disputes, navigating crises, managing risk and optimizing performance, our teams respond rapidly to dynamic and complex situations.
About The Role
The Strategic Communications segment within FTI Consulting designs, develops and executes communications strategies for clients managing financial, regulatory, and reputational challenges. For more than 35 years, we have served as trusted advisers to management teams and Boards of Directors seeking to seize opportunities, manage crises, navigate market disruptions, and preserve their right to operate. We help businesses articulate their brand and competitive position, working with them to share their corporate messages most effectively with key stakeholders - whether these are investors, policy makers, employees, or consumers - through both traditional and digital PR channels.
With over 300+ colleagues across our London office, we offer the flexibility to work either in specialist teams or in cross-sector practices across our three key pillars: corporate reputation, capital markets and public affairs.
Our clients range from start-ups to multinational companies, from household names to cutting edge businesses - and everything in between. We build and structure account teams with professionals across the business based on the client’s needs - meaning you will have the opportunity to work with a range of people.
