Developing and maintaining sector credentials and supporting documentation
Collaborating with colleagues across PR, digital, practice groups and client teams to ensure consistency and alignment
Monitoring sector trends and client needs to help shape targeting and positioning
Supporting internal reporting, budget management and process improvement
Sharing insights and updates across the wider team to maintain strong communication and alignment
What makes this role appealing:
A close‑knit, supportive team with strong visibility across the firm
The chance to work on high‑profile initiatives in a fast‑growing, innovative sector
Genuine scope to take ownership, influence strategy and bring new ideas forward
A mix of international collaboration and hands‑on project work
