  • Liaising with external organisation such as government departments, Parliament, business groups and trade associations
  • Drafting briefing materials and correspondence for both senior Deloitte leaders and political stakeholders
  • Monitoring external political and media developments of relevance to the firm

  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build working relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders
  • Ability to produce concise and accessible written content for senior internal and external stakeholders
  • A keen interest in politics, policy, and the news agenda
  • Suggest strategies, priorities, and opportunities to them. Be a creative thinker able to spot emerging opportunities and develop new and different ways for Deloitte to engage with its stakeholders
