About The Role
You will serve as a senior lead on some of the most exciting TMT communications mandates in the London market – working with a diverse range of clients, from listed technology and telecoms companies to rapidly growing private firms backed by prominent investors. Our TMT team offers comprehensive strategic communications counsel: managing corporate reputation and positioning, developing campaigns and narrative strategies, managing crises and issues, and fostering thought leadership.
Our work is intentionally diverse and exciting. One week, you could be creating a campaign that changes how a client is viewed on a complex issue, connecting with policymakers, communities, and the public through compelling, data-driven stories and earned media. Next, you might be managing a hot-button issue just about to unfold or helping a board find their voice on a topic that truly matters to their sector. It’s a role that rewards those who can spot the idea others might overlook and deliver it exactly where it makes a difference.
This is a senior position with ownership of client relationships. Though it doesn't involve managing a dedicated team of your own, you'll help guide the account teams you work with, maintain trusted adviser relationships with clients, and actively contribute to growing the practice.
Our London TMT team is a proud leader in its field, currently advising over 40 clients across sectors; from space exploration and digital transformation to cutting-edge technological solutions and beyond, all with a diverse array of needs.
What You’ll Do
Client leadership. You'll confidently manage sophisticated communication programmes, becoming the go-to person clients trust when it truly counts. That includes shaping corporate reputation and narrative, handling sensitive or contentious issues with care, and providing trusted advice to help clients find their authentic voice and communicate sincerely, even in tough situations.
Campaign leadership. You'll lead corporate communications campaigns, finding the angles others might overlook. You'll ground your strategies in research, data, and insights, ensuring your messages reach the people who matter most, whether they are policymakers, journalists, community members or the wider public. Your work will be instrumental in helping organisations shape opinions and foster reputations that last.
Account health and commercial growth. You'll manage accounts well - spotting and resolving issues related to budget, scope, and deliverables early on, turning challenges into opportunities. You'll nurture current relationships and build new ones, offering creative ideas to both existing and potential clients. Business development is a part of the role, not just an extra task.
AI-enabled advice and delivery. You'll bring a point of view on how AI and digital tools sharpen our work, from research and drafting to analysis, and pitch AI-enabled ideas to clients that drive genuine insight, efficiency and value. You'll help build that capability in the teams around you, choosing the right tools and setting realistic expectations about how they're adopted.
Leading teams. You'll be a leader on the account teams you work across, setting the standard for the work, giving actionable feedback, sharing your experience to help colleagues and clients work through the hard problems, and building strong partnerships across the practice.
Building the firm. You'll lead and take part in pitches and proposals, spot opportunities to introduce FTI's wider services to clients, and represent the firm's values and standards, including a genuine commitment to the letter and the spirit of our code of conduct.
