About Us
Hedry is a fast-growing public affairs consultancy built for today’s fast-moving and highly political world. We sit at the intersection of politics, policy, business and place – delivering integrated campaigns, political insight, strategic counsel, planning communications, and support for political campaigns.
We work with developers, landlords, retailers, infrastructure providers and organisations driving change across a range of sectors. We help them cut through the noise with sharp strategy, trusted advice and high-impact communications.
As a sister company to Lowick, we share a team and office, creating a uniquely dynamic, collaborative, and politically astute environment. Our approach is grounded in clarity, creativity, and a deep understanding of how politics works, both locally, regionally and nationally.
The Role
We are recruiting multiple roles at the Account Executive level (potentially Senior Account Executives) to support our growing portfolio across public affairs, built environment & planning communications, corporate communications, and integrated campaigns.
You will play a vital role in a close-knit team advising on major regeneration and planning projects, strategic stakeholder engagement, and policy campaigns that shape the places we live, work and shop. From Westminster to local authorities, retail to real estate – you’ll be part of a consultancy that thrives on high-stakes work and real-world impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Research & Monitoring: Stay on top of political, policy and planning developments across Parliament, City Hall and local councils. Provide clients with timely, intelligent updates and insights.
- Content & Communication: Draft high-quality materials including political briefings, press releases, social media content, consultation collateral, and stakeholder correspondence.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Map, manage, and support engagement with MPs, councillors, community groups and business leaders. Help organise briefings, events, and campaigns.
- Client & Team Support: Assist in managing day-to-day activity on accounts. Attend client meetings, provide written updates, and contribute to strategy development.
- Events & Campaigns: Help deliver impactful events, from planning exhibitions, parliamentary events, political roundtables and stakeholder dinners.
- New Business Development: Research prospective clients, help develop proposals and pitch decks, and contribute ideas to grow our client base.
- General Support: Pitch in where needed – from media monitoring to campaign brainstorms, we’re a team-first organisation where everyone contributes.
