Are you ready to make an impact?
About The Role
At FTI Consulting, we're looking for future experts with impact to join our ever-growing award winning Strategic Communications business. We invest in our graduates' career development from day one, providing top notch training and enabling access to a broad network of professionals to work with and learn from.
We are a meritocratic organisation. We prioritise diversity of thought and welcome unique viewpoints that challenge us to think differently, and creatively. Our professionals come from a variety of backgrounds, with diverse capabilities and experience, but they all share our values and commitment to great work, striving for excellence in everything they do.
We are passionate about recruiting, developing, and training the best candidates. Whatever your university or degree discipline, if you are a motivated individual with the skills and experience we are looking for, we encourage you to apply!
The Strategic Communications segment within FTI Consulting designs, develops and executes communications strategies for clients managing financial, regulatory, and reputational challenges. For more than 25 years, we have served as trusted advisers to management teams and Boards of Directors seeking to seize opportunities, manage crises, navigate market disruptions, and preserve their right to operate. We help businesses articulate their brand and competitive position, and work with them to share their corporate messages most effectively with key stakeholders - whether these be investors, policy makers, employees or consumers, through both traditional and digital [PR] channels.
With 300 colleagues across the London office, our sector teams include financial services, retail and consumer, natural resources and energy, real estate, professional services, technology media telecoms (TMT) and life sciences. We also provide cross-sector support in digital communications, government relations, internal communications, ESG, research and crisis management. Our clients range from start-ups to multinational companies; from household names to cutting edge businesses - and everything in between. As each sector team has an average of 20 colleagues, our employees enjoy the advantages of working at a global, multi-disciplinary firm, while benefitting from the tight-knit culture of specialised teams.
What You Will Do
Our London-based graduate programme will provide you with the opportunity to rotate through three of our Strategic Communications teams, spending three months in each. You will be immersed in a fast-paced learning environment, where your development will be supported as much by an extensive training programme as by colleagues and senior members of your teams.
Through these rotations, you will have the chance to gain exposure to an incredibly diverse roster of clients, from fast-growing start-ups and scale-ups to FTSE 100 industry leaders and global corporations.
Whether it's communicating clients' financial results, developing and protecting a corporate reputation, implementing targeted stakeholder engagement programmes or designing bespoke digital strategies, you will have an opportunity to work with our experts across a variety of different sectors and client briefs.
The rotations also provide the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues of all levels around our business and offer a unique insight into the many possible career paths that exist within the Strategic Communications practice.
Alongside their rotations, our graduates benefit from an extensive formal training programme from leading industry experts and advisers. This covers everything from press release writing to pitching a story to a journalist to interpreting a client's balance sheet. Our unique structure will also provide you with constant exposure to senior colleagues and client representatives from day one.
Throughout the scheme, you will be supported by your performance coach, a buddy in each of your rotation teams and a mentor who can support and guide you through your career goals and development, in addition to our Human Resources team. You will be part of a larger graduate cohort, both within Strategic Communications and the wider FTI Consulting business. As such, you will have a strong network around you of like-minded young professionals and those dedicated to furthering your career development.
As you come towards the end of your third rotation placement, with guidance from your mentor, you will submit your preferences regarding the team you would like to join in a permanent role. These will be considered by the senior management and our Human Resources team, and you will be assigned to a permanent role within one of our teams.
How You Will Grow
At FTI Consulting, we work hard to create an inclusive and high-performing culture in which our professionals can grow their careers and achieve their full potential, while also ensuring that we cultivate a fast-paced, supportive, and dynamic learning environment.
As such, there are regular personal development training sessions, networking events and other social activities to get involved in, both with other graduates and the rest of the firm. There are also groups dedicated to embracing, cultivating, and maintaining the diverse and inclusive nature of our team, including our Race, Identity, Social Equity (TISE) network, women's initiative ("FTI WIN"), our LGBT network and the Mind and Body network.
Your typical day might include the following:
