Edelman is a new kind of agency, at the intersection of PR, Advertising, Social, Digital, Earned Media and Experiential. We blur the lines between each medium to create smart, innovative, and powerful work that gets people talking and engaging with brands in new ways. You will be challenged to push convention and your creativity to find modern ways to drive consumer behavior in today’s socially charged, digital environment. 
 
We are passionate, unconventional, and driven by a desire to do the best work possible. We get results for our clients and have the trophies to prove it. Our 6,000 people in more than 60 offices globally deliver communications strategies that give our clients the confidence to lead, act with certainty and earn the lasting trust of their stakeholders.  

THE ROLE
We are looking to hire an individual with a background in consulting for leading international companies and counselling them on complex reputational issues.  
You will support and manage some of our biggest global clients, including high-profile consumer and B2B organisations. This will involve working closely with our international colleagues to respond to issues which could include operational incidents, product safety matters, commercial sponsorship issues, corporate governance crises, societal issues, brand marketing and campaign controversies, workplace misconduct, legal proceedings and corporate restructurings.
You must be able to deliver strategic counsel, blending earned, owned, paid and social media, and be able to advise beyond media relations to look at the client’s full stakeholder eco system.
