About The Platform

We are increasingly the preferred expert adviser to infrastructure investors across EMEA after a period of record organic growth in our integrated corporate affairs platform. As a global expert firm, we work with half of the 100 largest private equity sponsors and 8 out of the 10 largest asset owners globally by AuM. We partner with investors and asset owners of all types investing in UK and European infrastructure and real assets to help manage and mitigate risk throughout the deal, asset, portfolio, and fund lifecycle.

Our competitive edge is mobilising the firm’s technical sector expertise as part of a global management consultancy to partner with clients facing policy, regulatory, and public reputational challenges and opportunities – be it for a Board, shareholder, or a portfolio company management team. We have a developed range of deep sector experience advocating for clients investing in and operating regulated, social, transport, and digital infrastructure assets.

About The Role

We are looking for a senior corporate affairs professional to join our firm and take our advice and reach for infrastructure investors in EMEA to the next level. This is an exciting opportunity for you to deploy your full corporate affairs toolkit, including corporate and financial communications, public policy advocacy, corporate governance, and investor relations to help senior clients in high‑pressured situations use stakeholder engagement as a means to influence change.

Build the Business

• Adopt a systematic approach to growing existing FTI client relationships by proving value‑add advice integrated with existing service lines and relationships.
• Independently own a business development and service marketing plan which targets an emerging network of your own commercial relationships and expanding that network over time to include other buyers of FTI’s services within the infrastructure sector.

• Lead the drafting and development of commercial proposals for integrated advice showing pricing discipline in line with the firm’s commercial objectives.

What You Will Need to Succeed

You may have a strongest card in corporate affairs, but you have a demonstrable track record in knitting together different types of consulting advice. In doing so effectively, you have an emerging commercial network where clients call you for your trusted counsel particularly in crisis moments and you want a larger, more integrated consulting platform from and with which to grow your business entrepreneurially. You are intellectually curious and comfortable operating at the deep end, switching contexts and thinking laterally as a genuine strategic problem solver. You are known for being a thoughtful operator and you thrive on making sense of ambiguity and bringing an interdisciplinary team together to make sense of a high‑change situation.
