Communications Consultant in London

Our clients operate at the frontiers of innovation – we advise technology companies driving change, global investors funding the future, giants of sport and entertainment, and influential individuals on the communications and policy challenges that define their reputations. Our work spans corporate and financial communications, policy and public affairs to engage regulators and policymakers, policy communications and leadership communications. We underpin the full breadth of our capabilities with research‑driven insights and campaigns. We’re also pioneering AI‑enhanced advisory work for both our clients and internal innovation, using technology to unlock insights from data at unprecedented scale and speed.

The role involves advising directly, setting strategy, managing teams, and taking ownership of outcomes that genuinely move the dial for some of the most influential organisations in technology, investment, and beyond. The distinction between the two levels is one of autonomy and authority: Consultants work closely with project leadership to set direction and execute; Senior Consultants operate with greater independence, interrogate briefs more deeply, and are expected to push the quality of our work without being asked.

What both levels share is a particular kind of disposition. When you read about AI, frontier technologies, investor trends, and scientific discoveries, you don’t just absorb it – you think about how those stories are told and why some organisations define their reputations while others struggle to. You’re drawn to technically complex communications challenges. You think forensically, extrapolate quickly, and make things land with media, policymakers, and technical audiences alike. We want people who can demonstrate that, not just describe it.

What you’ll do:

• Shape communications strategy: You’ll draw on deep knowledge of channels and audiences to position clients and tell their story – including translating technical, scientific, or regulatory subject matter into narratives that resonate with both specialist and non‑technical communities.
• Drive and deliver client work: You’ll manage the work of junior colleagues, create clear project plans, delegate effectively, and ensure work is delivered to a high standard.
• Use AI to drive better outcomes: You’ll use AI tools regularly to improve the quality and efficiency of what you deliver.
• Contribute to the business: You’ll apply your understanding of the commercial context in which clients operate, contribute to internal projects, and bring restlessness to spotting growth and development opportunities.
• Build a collaborative environment: You’ll give and receive feedback regularly, actively seek input from colleagues at all levels, and contribute to an inclusive environment where brilliant work happens.

What we’re looking for:

• 3–7 years of communications experience, ideally in a consultancy environment, with exposure to technology clients.
• A genuine drive to go deep into unfamiliar territory, find the angles others miss, and produce work grounded in real understanding of the subject matter.
• Strong written and editorial skills: you can take a complex brief and produce something clear, compelling, and accurate without losing the substance.
• Experience building advisory relationships with senior stakeholders – founders, CEOs, or other leaders.
• Experience developing media strategies and working with journalists across tier‑1 tech press and specialist outlets.
• Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) effectively, safely, and critically in a professional setting.
• Project management experience: planning and delivering work against agreed goals, timelines, and budgets.
• Experience managing junior colleagues and delegating effectively.
• Intellectual curiosity to develop subject matter expertise in new areas and share that knowledge with colleagues.
• Collaborative instincts and a genuine commitment to contributing to an inclusive culture.
• Experience in or genuine familiarity with frontier technology, AI or investor communications.
• Experience in research, policy, developer relations, or technical content.

We’re an independent, employee‑owned firm, which means the people who work here share in our collective success. Our culture is built on five values: brilliance, restlessness, comradeship, inclusivity and integrity. We expect a lot from each other, but we also invest in each other—through honest feedback, shared learning and genuine care that goes beyond the work itself. You’ll have access to competitive pay with transparent salary bands, twice‑yearly bonuses, professional development opportunities guided by our career framework and progression pathways, private healthcare, mental health support, 26 days holiday plus public holidays, and a hybrid working model. We’re also serious about building a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace.
