We are a global leader in financial communications, corporate communications and public affairs, with specialty offerings that include M&A communications, crisis communications, issues management, litigation communications, corporate governance, shareholder activism, proxy advisory, restructuring communications, employee engagement, change communications, strategy consulting, research, as well as digital and creative communications.
Position Summary
We are seeking to hire an experienced public affairs practitioner to join an ambitious and growth-minded team in China. The successful candidate will help steer and grow the company's public affairs practice areas in China.
You should have a proven ability to service client companies on a day-to-day basis as well as a track record of successfully contributing to new business development. You should also have a strong interest in developing a strategic approach to communications, excellent written and verbal communications skills in both Mandarin Chinese and English and an ability to help manage junior team members as a collegiate team player. You should be mature, results-oriented, and prepared to learn and utilise new approaches to communications as part of a leading global communications consultancy business.
The successful candidate will be entering a company that has operated in China for over a decade and that already has a range of globally-leading domestic and multinational clients in the country, including a number of Fortune500 companies. While you will be expected to contribute to new business development, the successful candidate will be able to join a number of exciting and challenging client accounts, serving a range of household corporate names from day one.
