The posting

The Opportunity

Teneo is seeking a high-calibre Director to join our team in Berlin. This is a senior, client-facing role for an experienced Public Affairs Director advisor. The successful candidate will bring a strong network across German blue-chip companies and listed businesses.

The Role

As a Director in Teneo Strategy & Communications business in Europe, you will be responsible for building trusted senior client relationships, developing new revenue opportunities, leading complex client mandates and contributing to the growth and reputation of the business.

Based in Berlin, you will work closely with Teneo colleagues across Europe and the global network to deliver integrated advice to clients. This will include collaboration with specialists in corporate reputation, crisis preparedness and response, public affairs, geopolitics, management consulting, risk advisory, people advisory, sustainability, digital and creative campaigning.

This role requires both strategic advisory excellence and a strong commercial mindset. The successful candidate will be expected to bring market credibility, senior relationships, origination capability and the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through complex, high-profile and often sensitive client situations.

Responsibilities

  • Play a key role in shaping and further developing the Public Affairs offering within the Strategy & Communications practice, working closely with Senior Management.
  • Develop and lead integrated Public Affairs strategies for national and international clients, aligned with their business, reputation, and transformation objectives.
  • Advise executive boards, CEOs, and senior management on political, regulatory, and societal issues, as well as complex stakeholder situations.
  • Take responsibility for key client mandates, including strategic direction, quality assurance, and the continued development of existing engagements.
  • Actively contribute to business development, particularly by expanding existing client relationships, identifying new advisory needs, contributing to pitches, and providing strategic thought leadership.
  • Lead, develop, and inspire consulting and project teams, including talent development and fostering a high-performance, entrepreneurial culture.

Requirements

  • An entrepreneurial leader with an excellent command of language, a strong team orientation, and a genuine passion for politics, business, and the media.
  • At least 8 years of relevant professional experience in Public Affairs, political consulting, strategic communications, or related fields—ideally with significant consulting experience and/or an international background.
  • A deep understanding of political decision-making processes, regulatory frameworks, and the interplay between politics, business, and society.
  • A confident and persuasive presence at C-suite level, excellent communication skills, a high level of personal commitment, reliability, and outstanding organizational abilities.
  • Strong service and client orientation, combined with the ability to strategically leverage, deepen, and further develop existing relationships at senior management level.
  • Strategic, creative, and innovative thinking, with the ability to quickly grasp new topics and industries; ideally complemented by experience using artificial intelligence and a very good understanding of traditional and digital media.
  • Native-level German and fluent English.

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.
