Job description

KRG have partnered with a leading London based strategic communications consultancy that partners with some of the UK's and world's most recognisable corporate brands. The firm is trusted by senior leaders and global organisations to advise on reputation, positioning, and narrative at the highest levels.

This is a rare opportunity for a strategically minded communications professional to join a consultancy environment where you'll work directly with executive teams and C–suite leaders to shape their voice, refine their messaging, and help guide their communications through periods of opportunity and change.

They have had a deep dive into their set up in Q4 this year and due to internal promotions and multiple new business wins, they're looking to hire multiple new faces into their friendly and successful team. They have a great internal structure and efficient working processes, they have their client team (where this role sits) alongside an in–house production and studio team allowing them to provide a full 360 service to their clients.

They work with UK based and global clients across corporate and consumer communications – this role can be flexible to suit the right candidate. There is an opportunity to be corporate only/ focused or for there to be a split of clients across corporate and consumer depending on your experience and preference.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a senior strategic advisor to corporate and executive clients, helping shape and deliver effective communications strategies (mainly social, comms and some influencer elements)
• Develop compelling narratives, thought leadership platforms, and messaging frameworks for senior business leaders.
• Partner closely with clients' C–suite and internal comms teams to align communications with business priorities and reputation goals.
• Lead and support on complex corporate communications programmes across multiple sectors and markets.
• Provide counsel on media strategy, stakeholder engagement, and issues/crisis response.
• Alongside support from the team, write and edit high–impact content – from speeches and op–eds to internal messaging and investor communications.
• Mentor junior team members on an account by account basis, contributing to a collaborative, high–performing culture.
• Build and nurture strong client relationships, identifying opportunities for growth and deeper strategic partnership.
• Keep abreast of emerging trends in corporate communications, ESG, and public affairs, bringing insight and innovation to client work.

Key Areas of Work

• Strategy and strategic planning – high level comms and social planning for a variety of key clients.
• Data and insights – using insights from the market to influence decisions and strategies, informing your clients throughout the working process.
• Digital exec profiling and reputation management.

About You

• Significant experience in corporate communications, within a consultancy or agency setting.
• Proven ability to engage with and advise senior leaders and executives.
• Strong strategic thinker with excellent writing and storytelling skills.
• Confident managing complex, fast–moving projects and stakeholder groups.
• Intellectually curious, commercially astute, and comfortable working in a high–profile, global client environment.

They have great long term growth plans for employees and the consultancy overall, it is a very exciting time internally as we come into 2026. This role isn't being advertised elsewhere so please reach out or apply today!
