Description

Opportunity

Account Directors produce high quality advisory documents demonstrating a deep understanding of clients and issues. You will be regularly providing advice and analysis to clients, and developing an advisory voice informed by research, experience and awareness of market trends and events. You will manage some key workstreams as well as guiding executives and assistants on the account.

As an Account Director, you will also begin to develop a network and build relationships with clients, media, advisers, Brunswick colleagues and other stakeholders. You will work to develop your media-handling skills and have a good understanding of Brunswick’s different sectors and specialist offers and how to connect them with clients as part of our one firm offering.

About the Role

This role is working within Brunswick’s expanding Defence Sector Group, focussing on Investor Relations and capital market communications. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Deliver media, political, regulatory and market analysis to clients, with intelligent insight and recommendations informed by data, analysis and experience.
  • Manage the development of high-quality client documents, playing a key role in drafting, proofing, editing and version control, along with seamless project management of client workstreams.
  • Guide executives and assistants in effectively supporting accounts.
  • Work to develop a solid understanding of different sectors and specialist offers.
  • Ensure all logistics for client meetings and events are executed smoothly and manage upwards to ensure Brunswick delivers on time and above expectation.
  • Begin to develop an advisory voice informed by research, experience and awareness of market trends and events.
  • Nurture a network amongst peers inside and outside the firm, providing valuable insight for the firm and for clients.

What We’re Looking For

  • Highly knowledgeable on business issues and current affairs; up to date on key trends, issues, commentators and debates, particularly as it relates to the investor community.
  • 2-5 years’ experience ideally working in the German aerospace and defence sectors as well as in relevant policy areas – with the potential to further expand it.
  • Experience in report writing (English/German), presentation preparation, stakeholder analysis and social media.
  • Able to demonstrate excellent written research and analysis for business audiences; must be able to synthesize large amounts of intelligence across numerous sources in a timely but thoughtful manner.
  • Proven project and/or program management experience, with the ability to oversee multiple fast-moving workstreams at any one time.
  • A dynamic self-starter with a strong work ethic.
  • High level of attention to detail and an intellectually rigorous, client-service attitude.
  • An experienced team-worker who prefers to work in a collegiate way.
