About The Role

FTI Strategic Communications is currently looking for a Consultant to join our People & Transformation practice. You will work with team members and clients in the execution of communications and change management strategies that support pivotal events, including but not limited to, merger integrations, carve outs, financial restructuring/bankruptcy, performance improvement, , leader transitions, introductions of new business strategies, etc. In your role as a Consultant, you will learn the necessary skills and processes to serve and advise clients. Programs generally emphasize internal stakeholders but also may include strategies targeted to customers, suppliers, investors, the media, and other third parties.  

A successful Consultant understands and lives by FTI’s values, Code of Ethics and the Strategic Communications Rules of Practice. Additional information can be accessed here. FTI professionals must act with the highest level of integrity at all times and hold our clients accountable for the same.

Additionally, a successful Consultant is confident in an entrepreneurial environment, works under supervision from more experienced colleagues, has a high aptitude for hands-on learning, and is able to work efficiently while demonstrating accuracy and attention to detail. Candidates must be able to build strong relationships with colleagues, adapt easily to differing work styles, and be open to alternate points of view to improve work processes, solve client needs, and contribute to firm development.

Some travel may be required, but this is NOT a traditional on-the-road consulting role. Travel is more the exception than the norm. 

While we strive to support one another and help all team members achieve a healthy work-life balance, evening and weekend work is a requirement of this role and may not always be predictable.

You will conduct research, help to develop messaging and materials, gain exceptional project management skills, partner with colleagues in other practice areas and geographies to bring a comprehensive approach to client challenges, and support new business pursuits.

How You'll Grow  

Direct access to leadership with defined long-term career planning will ensure you continue to develop your skills as a communications and change management practitioner. This position also allows the unique opportunity to partner with internal teams in various specialty areas to tackle a myriad of high-visibility client challenges across industries. With an emphasis on a collaborative team approach, we all learn from each other as we share diverse perspectives and ways of working to best meet client challenges and continue to grow the firm.     

More specifically, your individual growth will be supported through:

• Consistent Coaching: A dedicated coach will work with you to define goals, navigate any obstacles you may encounter, and support your progress each step of the way. At the Consultant level, most of our professionals meet with their coach every week. You should never be surprised in a performance review… it’s just a recap of the conversations you’ve already been having.

• Thoughtful Staffing: We believe it’s essential for our team members to gain a well-rounded skillset, with opportunities to discover their true passions over time. A centralized committee oversees the staffing of all client accounts to ensure you get the experiences you need to meet your goals as well as opportunities to work with – and learn from – a diverse set of senior professionals.

• Feedback Through Ongoing Client Work: Our team has adopted shared commitments to one another, including commitments to open communication and regular “feedback moments.” The documents you write don’t get lost in cyberspace. You won’t have to wonder if your presentation of your work went well. You’ll see how thinking evolves in real time, get clear feedback on your contributions, and have opportunities to ask questions.

• Formal Training: Ongoing learning and development programs – ranging from internally led webinars, to online courses, to external coursework sponsored through our tuition reimbursement program – ensure you gain the skills needed to succeed at every level. We are committed to investing in our talent.
