🚨 Director – Litigation & Crisis Communications | London
💼 Competitive Salary + Bonus + Market-Leading Benefits | Urgent Hire
An independent, fast-growing strategic communications consultancy is looking to appoint a Director in Litigation & Crisis Communications to join its London team.
This is a standout opportunity for an experienced advisor to step into a senior leadership role, working on high-stakes, reputation-critical situations for global clients across sectors including finance, media, luxury, sport and corporate.
Why This Role Stands Out
• Competitive salary with performance-related bonus
• Flexible hybrid working and genuine work-life balance
• Private medical, life insurance and enhanced pension
• 25+ days annual leave + sabbatical and volunteering options
• Clear progression pathway within a growing firm
• High-impact work with direct access to senior clients
• Entrepreneurial culture with real autonomy
The Opportunity
The successful candidate will operate at the forefront of complex disputes, crisis situations and sensitive reputational challenges, advising senior stakeholders and working closely alongside legal teams.
They will:
• Lead major client relationships and deliver strategic counsel on litigation and crisis matters
• Advise on high-profile disputes, regulatory issues and multi-jurisdictional situations
• Shape narratives in high-pressure, media-sensitive environments
• Drive new business, lead pitches and contribute to the firm’s continued growth
• Build and mentor high-performing teams within a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture
The Profile
This role requires a credible, commercially minded leader with:
• Significant experience in litigation PR and crisis communications
• A strong grasp of the UK and international media landscape
• Proven ability to advise on complex, high-risk issues
• Established media and stakeholder relationships
• A track record in business development and client leadership
• Exceptional judgment, discretion and communication skills
The Firm
For over a decade, this consultancy has delivered high-impact work for a diverse client base including global brands, financial institutions, media organisations and high-profile individuals.
It combines the agility of a boutique with the capability to deliver on the most ambitious mandates—competing with top-tier firms such as Brunswick, FGS Global and FTI Consulting, while maintaining a highly personalised, senior-led approach.
The culture is entrepreneurial, collaborative and intellectually rigorous, with a strong emphasis on creative thinking, continuous learning and giving people the autonomy to thrive.
