Consultant Role
We are looking for Consultants to support client work and business development in our London office.
You will be at the heart of everything we do at Flint, supporting clients on policy, politics, regulation, and commercial strategy. Flint’s clients want to understand, in detail, how they can build a long-term strategy to thrive commercially in a changing and increasingly uncertain policy environment. On any given day you could be:
- Researching and drafting a policy positioning paper for a client
- Briefing a client for a meeting with government
- Being part of a team conducting political and regulatory due diligence on a particular sector or company for investors
- Advising on the policy and regulatory environment impacting M&A deals
We do a wide range of work at Flint, no day is the same, and you will have a chance to broaden your knowledge and skill set.
This role provides early-career professionals with the chance to research and analyse the complex policy challenges our clients face, and develop options and approaches to address those challenges, backing up recommendations with wider strategic and political analysis.
You will work alongside colleagues from a range of backgrounds and areas of expertise, which offers a great opportunity for professional development. There will be space to engage in discussion and debates on substantive policy and political challenges, as well as significant scope for progression through the company.
More broadly, you will contribute directly to the growth of our business, generating the ideas that make a difference, both for our clients and for Flint.
What We Are Looking For
Consultants generally come to Flint with c. 18 months-3 years’ work experience.
We are looking for candidates with experience working in and around politics, policy and regulation, such as for a political party, in a government department, regulator, think tank, campaigning organisation or NGO. We are also interested in candidates from commercial backgrounds, including major consulting houses, with a keen interest in politics, policy and regulation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
