Director / Managing Director, Strategy & Reputation, Energy & Sustainability

About the Role

As part of the company’s Strategy & Reputation team, we help clients build agenda setting integrated campaigns backed by research, creative and the expertise of our colleagues in public affairs and investor relations.

We are seeking a senior campaigns specialist - at Director or Managing Director level depending on experience - to join our London team. The successful candidate will bring campaigns as a primary specialism, meaningful experience in the Energy sector as well as Sustainability credentials, and the commercial instinct to support on new business generation. They will work closely with practice leadership to shape the team's offering and raise its profile in the market.

What You'll Do

Client Delivery

  • Provide senior counsel to clients on how to shape the agenda and manage issues based on a strong understanding of energy and sustainability issues
  • Lead accounts and the development of campaign strategies that span multiple channels and stakeholder audiences, translating complex briefs into clear, executable plans
  • Use your network to help shape the conversation for clients on the issues they care about – through the media, influencers, analysts, think tanks and beyond
  • Lead multi-disciplinary teams – combing research, creative, policy and capital markets input when necessary
  • Take overall responsibility for strategy, execution and outcomes – ensuring every account operates with agreed project plans and consistent oversight.
  • Lead production of best in class client work – from stakeholder research studies and stakeholder maps to creative campaigns
  • Constantly innovate with AI to help push the boundaries of what we can deliver for clients

Business Development

  • Identify and convert new business opportunities generated by the FGS network and your own senior client and intermediary contacts.
  • Lead or co-lead pitches, bringing intellectual rigour, creative thinking and a commercial perspective.
  • Build FGS Global's profile in the campaigns and E&S space through thought leadership, speaking opportunities and proactive relationship development.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across offices and practice areas to identify cross-sell and referral opportunities.

Team and Culture

  • Play a leadership role within the S&R team - setting standards, developing talent and contributing to strategic direction
  • Line-manage and mentor more junior colleagues, with a genuine investment in their growth
  • Champion diversity, inclusion and belonging within the team and in external-facing activities
  • Share knowledge, media intelligence and sector expertise generously across the team and wider firm

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Substantial experience in a senior campaigns or corporate communications role, with campaigns as a primary specialism
  • A strong track record in energy and sustainability communications - able to advise clients navigating the energy transition, elevated scrutiny, regulatory change and investor pressure
  • Demonstrable record of winning and growing client relationships, with existing senior-level contacts in relevant sectors
  • Exceptional written and verbal communications skills, with experience advising at board or C-suite level
  • Strong relationships across relevant beats - corporate, energy, sustainability, policy - and a highly proactive approach to media and communications strategy
  • Intellectual curiosity about the world: deeply engaged with geopolitics, the energy transition, business and finance, and their intersection - and able to bring that perspective to client briefs
  • Experience leading and developing teams, with a collaborative, generous approach to senior leadership

Preferred

  • Some consultancy experience, with evidence of an independent, commercially-minded approach - including a track record of contributing meaningfully to new business opportunities and bringing original thinking to pitch strategy

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
