The role
Our Consultants are the driving force behind our client work – the person who turns strategy into action and makes things happen. We are looking for someone with at least 3-years of EU policy advisory experience, a passion for tech policy and the politics behind it.
In this role, you'll be a trusted adviser to technology companies navigating complex regulatory and political landscapes across the UK and Europe – shaping public affairs strategy, driving execution, and helping clients understand and influence the environment they operate in.
Our team in Brussels is small but growing, so you’ll have an opportunity to shape the direction of our work and culture on the ground as well as forging close relationships with our London team including opportunities to travel.
- Excellent command of written and verbal English language
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills — including the ability to write with clarity, creativity, and human voice, not just in formal advisory formats.

- Understanding of different EU policies impacting tech-enabled businesses, as well as the stakeholders that make up the political and policy landscape

- Intellectual curiosity to develop subject matter expertise in new topics and share that knowledge with colleagues.
- Collaborative instincts and a genuine commitment to contributing to an inclusive culture.
