Our clients operate at the frontiers of innovation - we advise technology companies driving change, global investors funding the future, the giants of sport and entertainment, and influential individuals on the communications and policy challenges that define their reputations. Our work spans corporate and financial communications, policy and public affairs to engage regulators and policymakers, policy communications and leadership communications. We underpin the full breadth of our capabilities with research-driven insights and campaigns. We're also pioneering AI-enhanced advisory work for both our clients and internal innovation, using technology to unlock insights from data at unprecedented scale and speed.
Great communications and policy advice starts with brilliant research and analysis. As an Analyst at Milltown Partners, you'll be the foundation on which our work is built - tracking what matters, spotting what others miss, and turning complexity into clarity for some of the world's most influential organisations.
You'll work on live challenges where the stakes are high and context shifts constantly.
To illustrate, here’s some of the work you might be doing with your teams:
Supporting the largest, global technology platforms communicate their approach to safety and privacy for their users
Testing and building effective public narratives for complex, science-focused technology companies as they roll out new products
Running research projects that enable investment firms understand their reputation amongst current and potential founders so they can be the most competitive investor choice
Delivering communications campaigns for world famous sports and entertainment brands at key points of transition and expansion
Analysing legislative and regulatory developments on complex policy topics such as AI safety or data protection, and translating them into practical implications for how a company should position itself or respond.
We're looking for ambitious, intellectually curious people who think critically about complex problems and are ready to learn how to be an adviser.
Turn information into insight
You'll use research platforms like Factiva and Meltwater to monitor media, track policymakers and stakeholders, and understand the landscape our clients operate in. You'll leverage our internal AI studio and tools such as Claude and Notebook LM to produce analysis that's rigorous and useful. This isn't about summarising - it's about finding the thread that matters and pulling on it.
Help shape strategy
You'll contribute to discussions about what our clients should do and how they should communicate. You'll learn to think about audiences (investors, policymakers, journalists, employees), channels (owned platforms, media, policy engagement) and timing. You'll develop your own perspectives on the issues our clients face - whether that's AI regulation, competitive dynamics or stakeholder positioning - and share them with colleagues and clients.
Write for different audiences
From media briefings to policy analysis to internal reports, you'll draft content that's clear, compelling and tailored to purpose. You'll learn to write for CEOs, policymakers, journalists and investors - often all in the same week. The ability to translate complexity into clarity is fundamental to the work.
Keep teams organised
You'll help manage the logistics that keep client work moving - scheduling, monitoring, agendas, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. It sounds simple, but doing it well makes everything else possible.
Contribute to a collaborative culture
You'll work with people across the firm, give and receive feedback regularly, and help create an environment where everyone can do their best work. At Milltown, we're all in this together - comradeship isn't just a value, it's how we operate.
We're an independent, employee-owned firm, which means the people who work here share in our collective success. We operate across London, Brussels, San Francisco, New York, and Washington D.C., advising technology companies, global investors, iconic brands and influential individuals on the communications and policy challenges that define their reputations.
Our culture is built on five values: brilliance, restlessness, comradeship, inclusivity and integrity. We expect a lot from each other, but we also invest in each other—through honest feedback, shared learning and genuine care that goes beyond the work itself.
You'll have access to competitive pay with transparent salary bands, twice-yearly bonuses, professional development opportunities guided by our career framework and progression pathways, private healthcare, mental health support, 26 days holiday plus public holidays (outside of our annual Christmas break), and a hybrid working model (three days in the office: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday).
We're also serious about building a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. We have measurable commitments around representation, inclusion, and supporting underrepresented communities through pro bono work. Creating an environment where everyone can thrive is central to how we operate.
If this sounds like the right place to start your career, we'd love to hear from you.
