Public Affairs Consultant

A Public Affairs Consultant advises organisations on strategies to manage their relationships with government entities, media, and the public. You might work for a consultancy firm, in-house within an organisation, or for a non-profit. Public Affairs Consultants focus on developing communication strategies, monitoring political and regulatory developments, and crafting messaging to influence public opinion and policy. You’ll prepare reports, manage stakeholder engagement, and coordinate with media outlets.

Public Affairs Consultants play a crucial role in shaping an organisation's public image and navigating complex political landscapes. You’ll need to be strategic and persuasive, with strong communication and analytical skills. You’ll liaise with clients, government officials, and media representatives to ensure effective advocacy and public relations.
