About us
 
Cohn & Wolfe Corporate Affairs is an award winning team with an impressive range of clients including, Bank of America, Barclays Wealth, Lloyds Banking Group, Wincanton, Ferrero and Ebico to name just a few.
 
We offer the full suite of corporate communications tools including our new and unique Political Counsel offer which brings public affairs advice to our corporate clients. As a corporate team, we have big ambitions.  We have spent the last two years building specialist teams across a range of industry sectors to meet demand from corporate clients for deep sectoral knowledge. 
 
We are not your traditional Corporate team. We’re professional but we don’t wear suits to work – except where absolutely necessary. We do amazing high end strategic corporate work, on very big brands, but we are just as comfortable selling in a dog of a story where required. Our team is made up of nice talented people – and the ‘nice’ part is as important as the ‘talented’ part. We look for people who’d be happy at Cohn & Wolfe – a vibrant meritocratic environment where you can go as far as you’re capable of going, as quick as you decide. And it’s fun.
 
About you
 
We are now looking to bolster our junior team with the addition of a Corporate Affairs Intern, which will primarily focus on our public affairs offering.
 
You’ll have a strong passion for public affairs, ideally having already had some experience working in the public affairs environment – be it working alongside an MP or work experience from a public affairs agency. Solid written skills are essential within this role and also the ability to multi-task and manage deadlines.  
 
We are looking for people with a natural ability and interest in researching and understanding complex/high profile issues.  Spotting industry issues and understanding the public policy implications of these is a daily requirement for our clients and we would want any candidate to demonstrate a strong appetite for this alongside an enthusiasm for politics and the media.
