I have a fascinating opportunity for someone who works at the intersection of corporate comms, public policy, media relations, and litigation.
My client, one of the best known technology companies in the world, is looking for a tech policy comms specialist to support its external communications and media relations, as they relate primarily to UK policy and legal matters.
About the Role
The role is based in London (hybrid working, 3 days in, 2 out), sitting within a genuinely joined-up pan-European corporate comms team.
This is a 12 month contract initially, however these contracts are frequently extended beyond this. The focus is on finding someone who will be the right fit, rather than filling an urgent gap, and as such they can look at people on longer notice periods.
Responsibilities
The role requires someone with an excellent understanding of the UK policy environment, and preferably tech policy within that. Someone who has experience translating high-profile, sensitive, complex policy topics into compelling narratives for media, policymakers, and the public.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Perhaps the most attractive quality this opportunity possesses is that the scope for impact is huge. In comparison to other large companies, this business has a very lean and flat comms function. Generally, it houses experienced comms practitioners who are extremely self-sufficient and comfortable carrying plenty of responsibility, yet have no job snobbery, and are willing to get their hands dirty. This is a growing area for the business, and as such, there’s a huge volume of activity to get stuck into on the regulatory front. Add in the fact this hire comes at a time when the business is rethinking how they do things from a comms perspective, and it’s a fun time to come on board.

With this in mind, the role will be best suited to someone who has the ability to work with ambiguity and on complex topics, who is skilled in multi-tasking and delivering under tight timelines, and who is able to adapt quickly to change. As well as engaging with the media, there will be a lot of strategic work around briefings, reports, messaging, and major regulatory events. As such, it’s imperative this person has an aptitude for building formal and informal relationship networks inside and outside the organisation.
Requirements
Given the absence of multiple layers of hierarchy, the team is open to meeting people across a relatively broad salary and experience spectrum. However, as a guide, the role is likely to pay up to around £110k as a total comp.
