  • Contribute to FleishmanHillard UK, regional and global initiatives and knowledge-sharing related to international affairs issues and their impact upon clients.
  • Developing new business through networking and lead generation, responding to external briefs, identifying opportunities for organic growth, and driving proposals and pitches.
  • Support management of client budgets and commercials, overseeing budget development, team capacity and billing.

About You
