- Draft press releases, briefing notes, commentary and client reports to a high standard

Requirements
- At least two years' experience in either a political or media consultancy environment
- Strong writing skills across press releases, briefings and client reporting
- Confidence managing multiple client relationships and deadlines simultaneously

Life at Bridgehead
A small team. Serious work.
Senior-led from day one
You will work directly alongside partners with deep sector expertise, not spend years waiting for the work to reach you.
Consequential briefs
Our clients operate where reputation matters most: the NHS, Parliament, regulated care, corporate governance. The work has weight.
No account teams
We do not run layers of account management. You will own relationships, produce the work and see it land.
Growth that is earned
Progression is tied to impact, not tenure. If your work is driving results, we will reflect that quickly.
A small, high-calibre team
We keep the team deliberately small so that every person is a senior contributor. You will not be lost in headcount.
