This is a hands-on execution role designed for a strong doer who thrives in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.

This is an opportunity to work with a seasoned executive team supporting Fortune 100 C-Suite level clients on some of their most mission critical issues

The nature of our work is high-stakes and urgent, so the role requires the understanding that weekend and evening work will be required when necessary.

This role can be based in New York, Washington DC or Chicago.

  • Draft and edit high-quality written materials including media materials, client updates, briefing documents, and internal communications
  • Support senior team members in managing complex, time-sensitive projects
  • Monitor news, issues, and regulatory developments relevant to client matters
  • Coordinate across teams and time zones to ensure seamless execution
  • Demonstrate sound judgment, discretion, and urgency when handling confidential matters
Experience that contributes to success:
  • 3-5 years of experience in strategic communications, financial communications, crisis, or issues management
  • Experience working on litigation, government investigations, capital markets, or special situations preferred
  • Exceptional writing and editing skills
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Comfort operating in a 24/7, high-stakes environment with fluctuating workloads
  • Prior advisory firm experience is a plus
Burson Buchanan is an equal opportunity employer and considers applicants for all positions without discrimination or regard to particular characteristics. We are committed to fostering a culture of respect in which everyone feels they belong and has the same opportunities to progress in their careers.
