About the Role

FTI Consulting's Strategic Communications team in Singapore is seeking an experienced crisis communications professional to lead the expansion of our cybersecurity preparedness and incident response practice across Asia.

This is a specialized role requiring deep expertise in cyber crisis management, breach response, and the technical landscape of cybersecurity threats. While broad corporate communications capabilities are important, the primary focus is advising clients through complex cyber incidents—from data breaches and ransomware attacks to supply chain compromises and nation-state threats.

Our Singapore office has an established track record in integrated corporate communications. This role extends that foundation into cybersecurity crisis advisory, an area of significant growth and strategic priority for the firm. You'll work directly with Tom Evrard and senior team members to build client relationships across the region, particularly with law firms, incident response firms, and in-house security teams.

This is both a client-facing and business development role. Success requires equal parts technical fluency in cybersecurity, crisis management expertise, and the ability to cultivate trusted advisor relationships throughout Asia's legal and corporate communities.

We place significant emphasis on collaboration, supporting each other's growth while encouraging a diverse and inclusive culture. This role offers substantial opportunity for career advancement aligned with your own aspirations.
