    Job Description

    THE ROLE

    If you are in your element when the stakes are high and can offer calm measured PR and communications advice in the eye of a storm, then this varied and stretching role could take your career to the next level.

    This role will be responsible for helping build the firm's cyber practice, operating as the lead or (on larger, complex matters) co-lead on all cyber projects, covering preparedness and response briefs. You will also be responsible for developing and driving BD in the cyber space, working with the Senior Director.

    Cyber incident preparedness and response is a key, growing field of work this team undertakes and they have worked on a number of high-profile incidents over the last two years. They are also increasingly undertaking cyber incident preparedness projects for existing and new clients, as well as extending their network of referrers, including specialist legal counsel and forensic providers.

    The firm are seeking to build senior capacity in this area to augment the existing team, to launch a targeted BD drive, deliver consistent excellent results for clients, and grow revenue and reputation in the space.

    Clients will cross multiple sectors and range from multinational corporations and renowned consumer brands, to fast growth start-ups and the international HNW private client community. The work will be fast-paced and complex, and you will help clients prepare for, manage and emerge from difficult scenarios in which reputational, commercial and legal risk is high.

    THE COMPANY

    As trusted adviser to the world's top companies on critical business issues, this respected, established firm has worked on some of the most high profile corporate reputation issues, disputes and litigation cases of the last few years. They have earned prestige for delivering an outstanding service to both public and private businesses. Some of the biggest companies in the world rely on their advice to safeguard their reputations.

    • Cross-fulfil the team's cyber expertise into the firm's broader client base, securing new projects and deepening the service offering to those existing clients
    • Drive and co-lead the expansion of the practice, working closely with the Senior Director, and through this towards cementing the firm's reputation as the leading provider of special situations and crisis counsel to clients, in the UK and internationally
    • On occasion, the role holder may be required to assist on broader (non-cyber) issues and crisis management clients matters, if and where required.

    • Ability to 'manage upwards' by proactively generating ideas and presenting advice to Senior Director on key accounts
    • Manage the workflows of junior colleagues, guiding, assigning tasks and ensuring timely completion and client satisfaction
