The posting

MHP Group is the integrated communications agency built for the Networked Age – a world that’s increasingly connected, complex, polarised and activist.

We lead the way in the application of behavioural science to solve communications challenges. We create strategies and multichannel campaigns to engage every audience, from consumer to policy maker, and from stakeholder to shareholder.

With 190 experts in London, we are trusted by many of the world’s leading businesses and brands.

Our specialist teams include Brand & Reputation, Corporate Advisory & Capital Markets, Public Affairs, Strategic Media, Crisis & Risk, Change & Employee Engagement, Health, Financial Services, Technology, Mischief and Studio La Plage.

Role overview

We are looking for an outstanding Senior Account Manager to join our Public Affairs team which is fast paced and focused on ambitious growth. We are open to candidates seeking a promotion from Senior Account Manager to Account Director and may consider an appointment at that level for the right candidate.

Ideally, this person will be highly experienced in being part of campaigns which give national profile to organisations, in a way that positively impacts perceptions among political and policy-orientated audiences in Westminster and beyond.

We’re less concerned about where a candidate has gained their experience or which sectors their clients might have been acquired in, but agency experience is preferred. What they must bring is tenacity, enthusiasm, curiosity, commitment and insight to their work.

MHP’s Public Affairs practice provides the very best in innovative, impactful public policy campaigns, counsel and strategy. We support clients right across the agency in finding new opportunities to drive commercial value, whilst strengthening resilience to political and regulatory shock.

As a Senior Account Manager at MHP Group, you will:

  • Oversee delivery on retained accounts and projects, having the confidence and gravitas to deliver well-informed counsel and manage multiple accounts simultaneously
  • Manage account co-ordination and workflow, including reviewing (and developing as required) status reports, action planners and meeting agendas
  • Write and review letters, reports, policy and meetings briefings, as well as drafting articles, blog and social media posts
  • Lead organisation of client events such as parliamentary roundtables and receptions, managing logistics and invitations
  • Provide timely and insightful monitoring of political events and proceedings in parliament, as well as chairing client meetings and organising events and activations
  • Become an extension of client teams: developing a highly competent understanding of clients’ strategic business interests, products and services
  • Assist senior colleagues in fulfilling their responsibilities to keep accounts on track and within budget, including liaising with and managing some supplier relationships
  • Participate in new business activities, including networking for leads
  • Line manage and mentor junior team members, providing on-the-job training to support their career development
  • Grow and maintain a strong personal network of political and policy stakeholders, helping to inform impactful stakeholder mapping and deliver insight
  • Be a key part of the MHP team supporting our own marketing and internal events

You will:

  • Be a strong Public Affairs Senior Account Manager with at least 4-5 years of experience either in Public Affairs directly, or in government or parliament. We are looking for someone who will be ready to move up to Account Director in the near future
  • Be highly organised and a self-starter: this person will be relied upon to ensure MHP accounts are run efficiently and deliver client needs at pace and proactively with excellence
  • Bring an established network of political contacts. We’re particularly interested in candidates with experience working with the Labour Party, but we’re open to people from all political and policy-related backgrounds
  • Be tenacious and passionate about UK politics, government and public affairs, capable of communicating and explaining issues with sensitivity and insight and with a strong understanding of the UK’s domestic policy-making architecture
  • Experience working for and engaging with corporate brands, political parties, public sector organisations or other charitable or professional bodies is all welcome. We are particularly looking for someone with agency experience who can hit the ground running in leading client delivery
  • Be a strong writer: skilled at drafting and reviewing briefing papers, policy analysis and stakeholder insights, as well as assisting with client and new business proposals
  • Be a team player: great interpersonal skills, and someone who brings a sense of fun to their work and adds to the positive culture of the team and the agency as a whole
  • Have great time management and ability to multi-task, managing upwards senior colleagues as well as more junior team members

And in return, we offer:

  • Excellent starting salary with annual reviews
  • 25 days holiday allowance (+ bank holidays), a day off to celebrate your Birthday, ‘Time4U’ every month and office Christmas closure
  • Matched pension contributions (up to 5%)
  • Life Assurance
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Season ticket loans and Cycle to work scheme
  • Gym & Shopping discounts
  • Access to our Learning Academy to support your career and personal growth
  • Hybrid (up to 2 days remote working per week)
  • ‘Work from Anywhere’ one week per year

Why it works

3×

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.
