ABOUT FLINT
Flint is a leading global strategy consultancy. We are advisers to some of the largest corporates, financial institutions, and investors in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We work at the point where government and business meet, drawing on our blend of international expertise and experience to offer an authoritative perspective on both.
We work with organisations affected by political, policy, or regulatory change. Our clients are senior executives looking to improve the trajectory of their business, or to achieve commercial outcomes through policy or regulatory change. Flint helps them to drive their businesses forward.
We have offices in London, Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore and Melbourne as well as presence in a number of European capitals. We offer successful candidates the opportunity to advance within the company.
Flint takes care of its people. We enjoy challenging each other’s thinking and working hard on a wide variety of interesting and stimulating issues, while simultaneously respecting life outside Flint.
We are committed to equality of opportunity and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a Director to join Flint Global’s expanding infrastructure and energy team. At a time of significant political and policy change, successful candidates will have a unique opportunity to support the continuing development of Flint’s business in this area and work on an exciting array of complex policy and regulatory issues for our clients.
This will involve working closely with senior team members across Flint to advise clients on public policy, politics, regulation, and commercial strategy with a focus on the energy sector. Flint’s clients want to understand, in detail, how they can build a long-term strategy to thrive in an evolving policy environment.
