Associate

Charlesbye is looking for a bright, ambitious and driven individual ready to take their next career step and join our thriving integrated public affairs and communications team.

Charlesbye is a full-service strategic communications company. We advise FTSE 100 companies, global brands, frontier AI labs, and fast-growing start-ups on their Series A. What connects them is that they come to us when the stakes are high and the answer is not obvious.

We're looking for someone with experience in politics, business, or public affairs who's ready to progress their career at a competitive, fast-growing agency, based in our London Bridge office.

The Role

Associates form the foundation of delivery across our accounts, providing essential support to smooth day-to-day delivery and exceptional team and client service. You'll be the first line of monitoring and briefing - translating political, media, and stakeholder developments into clear, actionable updates — while building strong foundations in research, drafting, communication, and organisation.

What You'll Be Doing

• Conducting high-quality political, media, and stakeholder monitoring, and summarising the implications for client teams.
• Drafting accurate, timely briefings for internal and client use.
• Preparing agendas, taking notes, and managing follow-up actions from meetings.
• Supporting outreach and engagement programmes, including updating contact trackers and following up on actions.
• Assisting with drafting materials such as press notices, consultation responses, and briefing notes.
• Setting up and managing client calls, ensuring logistics and preparation are seamless.
• Building relationships with researchers and other political stakeholders, and developing your own political network.
• Planning and running events.
• Contributing to team discussions and account delivery with enthusiasm and reliability.
