About the company

We are one of the fastest growing Public Affairs and Strategic Communications groups in Europe.

As a fully integrated European Public Affairs and Communications consultancy, we help our clients navigate political systems. We offer local and cross-border solutions to political, regulatory and reputational risks and opportunities and work with our clients to strategically reach their goals. Rud Pedersen is built on shared values and approach – entrepreneurial, tenacious and connected, we help leaders successfully navigate the public arena. We provide our clients with a keen understanding of the political debate and governmental processes, as well as the decision-makers that drive it. We understand the value of trust and how to make the most of it. We know how to become partners to build the societies of the future.

We are looking for the next generation of public affairs and communications talent, motivated and excited by the challenge of working within a high-quality, challenger brand in the London market and alongside our international colleagues.

Our summer internship will give you first-hand exposure to working in a fast-paced, ambitious public affairs and strategic communications group, rooted in Nordic values and a European culture. With a focus on supporting clients in the London market, this opportunity is suited to those with a solid understanding of the British political and media sectors, looking for their first experience in consultancy.

What to expect from your internship

During your internship, you will primarily support our research function, which leads our political and media monitoring and information gathering. You will be involved in the drafting of research and briefing notes, providing valuable information that can support our clients and your senior colleagues. You will also be supporting communications accounts with the drafting of press releases and online content including for social media and websites.

You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of how a fast-paced consultancy works, as well as building essential public affairs skills and awareness of client management.

A successful internship would strongly support an application for a permanent role for someone looking to make the transition to a more permanent role.
