Opportunity

You’ll be joining a team that thrives on complex questions—how businesses should respond to new policy directions, navigate global tensions, or engage meaningfully with government and policy audiences. Our clients are often at critical junctures, and we help them move forward with confidence.

We’re looking for someone who is genuinely curious about how politics and policy shape business. You may come from government, public affairs, corporate strategy, journalism, or policy analysis—but wherever you’ve come from, you’re intellectually curious, commercially sharp, and passionate about China's evolving policy landscape.

You may already have some experience engaging with government stakeholders and policy influencers—or are looking to build that experience. What matters most is your ability to get into the details of policy and economic realities while also stepping back to see patterns and implications. You understand that real insight comes from both rigorous analysis and conversations on the ground—with officials, advisors, researchers, and others who help connect the dots. You’re motivated to build the networks and insight that make your advice sharper, your writing clearer, and our counsel to clients more strategic.

You’re a strong writer who brings structure to ambiguity. You enjoy digging into regulations, into economic nuance, drafting crisp analysis, and making complex developments accessible and actionable for business audiences.

You’re also a team player—collaborative, curious, and resilient under pressure. You’ll play a key role supporting client work—helping shape recommendations, structure analysis, and contribute to project delivery. You’ll be building your voice as a strategic advisor, developing trusted relationships with clients, and expanding your perspective across sectors and policy domains.

About the role

We value people who:

• Are deeply interested in Chinese politics, policymaking, and public affairs—and want to dig into the issues behind the headlines.
• Have started to build a network within the policy community and bring strong people skills to nurture and grow those relationships over time.
• Know how to identify and map critical stakeholders inside and outside government.
• Write with clarity, precision, and authority across formats—from policy analysis to strategic recommendations.
• Understand how to interpret China's political signals for a global audience and how to communicate back with cultural fluency.
• Collaborate generously and help raise the quality of thinking across a team.
• Take pride in producing high-quality work, with a structured, thoughtful approach to complexity.

The Role of an Account Director at Brunswick

Account Directors are trusted contributors to client work. You’ll help deliver insight, shape advice, and ensure the quality of what we share with clients. You’ll often lead parts of an account and collaborate with colleagues across sectors and regions.

You’ll spend time unpacking political and regulatory developments, be part of a team authoring analysis on market developments, contributing to strategy development, and supporting stakeholder engagement programs that build long-term, trusted relationships with government and policy audiences.

You’ll help guide junior colleagues, contribute to internal initiatives, and participate actively in new business development. You’ll also have opportunities to deepen your expertise in specific sectors, broaden your knowledge across geographies, and play a role in growing Brunswick’s global public affairs and geopolitical advisory work.

This is a platform to sharpen your strategic thinking, grow your public affairs expertise, and build trusted client relationships on high-stakes issues. It’s a great role for someone growing into their own voice as a public affairs advisor—someone who is analytically sharp, politically literate, commercially aware, and committed to helping clients succeed through complexity.

What We’re Looking For

• Typically, four-to-six years of experience in public and regulatory affairs, policy analysis, strategic communications, government, journalism, or related sectors.
• Strong knowledge of China's political and policymaking environment.
• Have started to build a network within the Chinese government and policy community-and bring strong people skills to nurture and grow those relationships.
• Exceptional writing and communication skills in both English and Chinese.
• Ability to translate complex policy issues into strategic recommendations.
• Collaborative mindset and calmness under pressure.
• A proactive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented approach to your work.
• A network across government, policy communities, business, media, or academia that enriches insight and execution (preferred).

Our Benefits

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Annual Discretionary Bonus: Based on company and individual performance.
• Generous Leave: 25 days’ annual leave plus an additional day for your birthday.
• Brunswick Bites: Team Lunch every Monday.
• Family Leave Policies: Maternity, Paternity, Shared Parental, and Adoption leave.
• Employee Assistance Programme: Support for your wellbeing.
• Headspace Membership: Access to mindfulness and meditation resources.
• Complimentary Refreshments: Artisan coffee, tea, and snacks in our pantries.
• Training Sessions: Lunch & Learn opportunities.
• Social Activities: Regular social, cultural, and charitable events.
