Anacta is a public affairs, political research and campaigns firm. We specialise in delivering outcomes for clients, often against a fast-moving political backdrop, using methods shaped on winning election campaigns. Our UK team supports some of the world's leading brands on their strategic public affairs activity.

You will lead a portfolio of clients, deliver high level advice, and be trusted to exercise judgement in fast-moving, politically sensitive situations. You will need to understand not only how Westminster and Whitehall work, but how to turn that understanding into strategies that deliver tangible results.

• Develop political and public affairs strategies that help clients achieve clear outcomes
• Build and maintain relationships across Westminster, Whitehall and the wider political landscape
• Provide clients with clear political intelligence, analysis and advice
• Lead engagement with politicians, officials, advisers and other relevant stakeholders
• Manage, coach and develop colleagues across the team
• Identify opportunities for clients and anticipate risks
• Lead new business pitches and help grow existing client relationships
• Work closely with our research and campaigns colleagues to deliver integrated work
What you will bring
• Substantial public affairs, political or government relations experience
• A record of leading senior relationships and delivering work yourself, not only overseeing it
• Strong political judgement and a detailed working knowledge of UK politics and policymaking
• Experience developing and delivering public affairs or influencing strategies
• The confidence to advise senior clients, including when your advice is not what they want to hear
• Experience managing and developing colleagues
• Commercial instinct
What we offer
• The opportunity to play a senior role in a growing business
• Direct access to senior clients from the start
