Senior Analyst

Milltown Partners

Our clients operate at the frontiers of innovation - we advise technology companies driving change, global investors funding the future, the giants of sport and entertainment, and influential individuals on the communications and policy challenges that define their reputations. Our work spans corporate and financial communications, policy and public affairs to engage regulators and policymakers, policy communications and leadership communications. We underpin the full breadth of our capabilities with research-driven insights and campaigns. We're also pioneering AI-enhanced advisory work for both our clients and internal innovation, using technology to unlock insights from data at unprecedented scale and speed. The role Great communications and policy advice starts with brilliant research and analysis. As a Senior Analyst at Milltown Partners, you'll bring a more developed perspective to that work – not just producing the analysis that informs our advice, but beginning to shape it. You'll have enough experience to work with greater independence, take ownership of your outputs, and start to contribute meaningfully to how we solve problems for clients. You'll work on live challenges across a range of sectors and issue types. You might be leading the media and stakeholder analysis for a technology company navigating a regulatory investigation. You could be tracking policy developments across multiple jurisdictions to help a global investor understand the landscape they're operating in. The work is substantive, the clients are sophisticated, and the expectation is that you'll bring a clear point of view, not just a summary. What will set you apart is a genuine curiosity about how the world works, particularly technological advancements. You want to understand the implications of new research, policy decisions or investor trends and are the kind of person who goes deeper than most to follow threads of a story wherever they lead. What you'll do Turn information into insightYou'll use research platforms like Factiva and Meltwater to monitor media, track policymakers and stakeholders, and understand the landscape our clients operate in. You'll leverage our internal AI studio and tools such as Claude and Notebook LM to produce analysis that's rigorous and useful. This isn't about summarising - it's about finding the thread that matters and pulling on it. Help shape strategyYou'll contribute to discussions about what our clients should do and how they should communicate. You'll learn to think about audiences (investors, policymakers, journalists, employees), channels (owned platforms, media, policy engagement) and timing. You'll develop your own perspectives on the issues our clients face - whether that's AI regulation, competitive dynamics or stakeholder positioning - and share them with colleagues and clients. Write for different audiencesFrom media briefings to policy analysis to internal reports, you'll draft content that's clear, compelling and tailored to purpose. You'll write for CEOs, policymakers, journalists and investors - often all in the same week. The ability to translate complexity into clarity is fundamental to the work, and the more technically complex the subject matter, the more valuable that skill becomes. Keep teams organisedYou'll help manage the logistics that keep client work moving - scheduling, monitoring, agendas, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. It sounds simple, but doing it well makes everything else possible. Contribute to a collaborative cultureYou'll work with people across the firm, give and receive feedback regularly, and help create an environment where everyone can do their best work. At Milltown, we're all in this together - comradeship isn't just a value, it's how we operate.
