About the Role

FTI is searching for a data-driven, insights-focused, audience-centric digital communications professional to join the Corporate Positioning & Insights practice of its Strategic Communications segment as a Director. The successful candidate will have a passion for turning data into actionable insights and strategic counsel, leading the development and execution of digital intelligence programs - spanning media and social media analysis, AEO/GEO, stakeholder mapping and influencer identification, ad tracking and analytics, and measurement - that directly drive client outcomes across complex, high-stakes communications mandates.

This is a client-facing role. The individual will serve as a trusted advisor, translating data and digital signals into actionable communications counsel. As digital intelligence and AI search reshapes how audiences find and form views about organizations, the Senior Director will be expected to support and deliver FTI's evolving capabilities in this space - including implementation of measurement and digital intelligence infrastructures, answer engine optimization (AEO), generative engine optimization (GEO), and LLM reputation auditing.

• Conduct and interpret A/SEO audits to diagnose content gaps, keyword authority, crawlability issues, and competitive positioning.

• Monitor and report on organic search performance using platforms including Google Search Console, SEMrush, or equivalents, and translate findings into actionable strategy.

• Identify ways for clients to best communicate on digital media, prioritizing audiences, channels, content, and other factors through the interpretation of data and analytics.

• Evaluate audience engagement with client communications through the use of new tools, AI and product.

• Manage members of Corporate Positioning & Insights teams on projects.

• Mentor and coach early career professionals.
