Position Summary
We are seeking to hire an experienced public affairs practitioner to join an ambitious and growth-minded team in China. The successful candidate will help steer and grow the company’s public affairs practice areas in China.
You should have a proven ability to service client companies on a day-to-day basis as well as a track record of successfully contributing to new business development.
