Cavendish is all about talented people, delivering excellent results for our clients. We are a multi-award-winning, PR Week Top 150 agency, PRCA’s Large Consultancy of the Year and are the UK’s number one agency for public affairs.
Within corporate affairs, we advise a wide range of UK and international clients on political, policy and reputational challenges. Our team works across Westminster, Whitehall, the devolved institutions, local government and the wider stakeholder landscape to help clients navigate risk, build influence and secure outcomes.

What we are looking for:
You are naturally curious. You consume politics because you enjoy it, not because you must. You follow parliamentary debates and understand the machinery of government, but you're equally fascinated by the forces shaping society beyond Westminster.
You have opinions about how artificial intelligence will change trust and influence. You understand why societal polarisation matters to brands. You can see how a culture war issue might affect an organisation's reputation just as confidently as you can follow a Bill progressing through Parliament.
You are excited by complexity.
You recognise that organisations increasingly operate in contested environments shaped by political fragmentation, technological disruption and changing public expectations. You enjoy helping leaders navigate those challenges.
You'll thrive in this role if you:
This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to report on politics.
It's for someone who wants to help organisations make better decisions in a world that is increasingly complex, contested and constantly changing.
What you’ll need to do:
You will act as part of a wider account team, supporting across a portfolio of corporate affairs clients. You will support teams and clients in identifying what is happening across the world of politics which will have an impact on them. You will work to deliver engagement across the political landscape for your clients.
Your specific duties will include:
