Cavendish is all about talented people, delivering excellent results for our clients. We are a multi-award-winning, PR Week Top 150 agency, PRCA’s Large Consultancy of the Year and are the UK’s number one agency for public affairs. 

You are naturally curious. You consume politics because you enjoy it, not because you must. You follow parliamentary debates and understand the machinery of government, but you’re equally fascinated by the forces shaping society beyond Westminster. You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Have experience in politics, public affairs or corporate affairs
• Are deeply interested in politics, policy and current affairs beyond the daily headlines
• Recognise how societal polarisation, attention dynamics and technological change can impact organisations and brands
• Are curious about AI and excited by how it can transform the way we work
• Have an interest in sectors such as technology, health, energy or other areas undergoing significant disruption
• Can move comfortably between discussions about legislation, regulation, reputation and culture
• This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to report on politics. It’s for someone who wants to help organisations make better decisions in a world that is increasingly complex, contested and constantly changing.

What you’ll need to do: You will act as part of a wider account team, supporting across a portfolio of corporate affairs clients. 

• Acting as a core member of account teams, supporting the delivery of corporate affairs and government relations strategies.
• Monitoring for key political developments and helping clients to understand what they mean for their organisation and how they should respond.
• Undertaking research projects and providing insight into key policy areas or key political individuals and influencers.
• Looking to support clients across political, media and digital engagement.
• Using your network across Westminster, Whitehall and the media to support insight gathering, stakeholder engagement and profile-building activity for clients.
• Supporting new business opportunities, contributing to proposals and pitches, and helping grow existing accounts through strong client relationships and strategic thinking.
