THE ROLE
The ideal candidate is looking to gain experience working on consulting-style engagements for firms and organizations in a wide range of industries, including but not limited to technology, health care, finance, public affairs and entertainment, helping them to understand their most important reputational challenges. Senior Associates will quickly learn to manage projects on their own, including interacting with and advising clients directly.
Our associates come from a diverse array of educational backgrounds, with broad representation across humanities, social sciences, communications and public policy, as well as within business and economics. They have in common a desire to learn about the challenges that organizations face, and how research conducted in the context of the cultural landscape and the market environment can guide the strategic thinking required to drive future business decisions and communications.
Candidates should already have experience in a market research, comms or public affairs agency, and must be both comfortable with analyzing and interpreting numbers and persuasive, elegant writers. Senior Associates will assist with the development, implementation and analysis of a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to develop communications strategies for managing reputations and responding to crises. An understanding of strategic communications, how messages reach audiences and shape decisions, is a strong advantage.
