Astrum Search has been exclusively retained by an established and ambitious consultancy to appoint Managing Director to lead and grow its Public Affairs and Communications practice.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced, commercially minded leader to take ownership of an established practice, shape its future direction and play a pivotal role in the consultancy’s ambitious long-term growth strategy.

Our client has an impressive reputation for advising senior political figures, including UK Prime Ministers, as well as global media organisations and leading businesses. The firm is recognised for delivering high-impact strategic advice and building trusted relationships with influential clients.

Having worked closely with the business and its leadership team for many years, we can offer genuine insight into its culture, ambitions and the opportunity this appointment represents.

The Opportunity

Reporting into the senior leadership team, the successful candidate will have significant autonomy to shape and develop the Public Affairs & Communications practice.

The role combines strategic leadership, client advisory work and business development, with an approximate split of:

40% Business Development: Identifying and securing new opportunities, developing senior-level relationships and driving sustainable revenue growth.
60% Client Delivery and Leadership: Providing strategic counsel to key clients, overseeing complex engagements, building trusted partnerships and leading and developing a high-performing team.

You will be a key member of the consultancy’s senior leadership team, contributing not only to the success of your own practice but also to the wider strategic direction and growth of the business.

About You:

We are particularly interested in speaking with established leaders who can demonstrate:

Extensive experience in corporate communications, public affairs, strategic communications or a closely related advisory discipline.
A strong track record of developing client relationships and generating new business.
Experience leading, developing and inspiring high-performing teams.
The credibility and confidence to advise senior executives, boards and other influential stakeholders.
Strong commercial acumen, strategic thinking and an entrepreneurial approach to growth.
A desire to take ownership of a business area and play a meaningful role in its future success.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is more than a traditional Managing Director appointment. It offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a business that has significant ambitions for the coming decade.

You will benefit from:

Autonomy and influence: The freedom to shape the direction of your practice, introduce new ideas and execute your own growth strategy.
Leadership and exposure: A prominent position within the senior leadership team, with direct access to the business’s owners and key decision-makers.
Long term opportunity: The chance to build and develop a substantial business unit within an organisation committed to sustained growth.
Established reputation: The opportunity to represent a respected advisory business with an impressive client portfolio and strong market credibility.
Collaborative culture: A supportive leadership environment that values entrepreneurial thinking, collaboration and individual contribution.

Interview Process

The selection process will consist of three stages:

Initial discussion: An introductory video meeting with Astrum Search to explore your experience, career aspirations and suitability for the opportunity.
Leadership interview and business case: A meeting with the Chief of Staff and CFO, including a business case presentation.
Final Stage: A meeting with the business owner, Chief of Staff, CFO and an additional member of the senior leadership team.

- Utilising the Diligent Activity Center to create dashboards and workflows within our internal controls software.
- Working with the Data Service team to improve the quality of existing dashboards used for internal controls reporting and support evolving reporting requirements (e.g., overview of internal control effectiveness based on latest assurance activity to support the internal controls declaration as per UK Corporate Reform).
- Integrating assurance data from Internal Audit and Internal Controls to provide a total assurance overview to Senior Management and the Board.
Manage the relationship with internal and external stakeholders supporting the AI & Analytics efforts.

Travel	Occasional international travel

Compass Group

Compass Group is a FTSE 20 and Fortune Global 500 business — the world’s leading contract catering, hospitality and support services provider. We operate in over 20 countries, across more than 50,000 client locations, serving over 5.5 billion meals a year. Food is our passion. Increasingly, data and AI are how we protect it, sharpen it and stay ahead.

The opportunity

We’re reinventing how Internal Audit works — moving from sampling and hindsight to data-led, continuous, forward-looking assurance. This is a rare chance to help build that capability from the ground up, not just run it. You’ll sit in a small, high-profile Group team with a direct line of sight to the very top of a FTSE 20, and the autonomy to make a real mark.

What you’ll do

Help shape and deliver Internal Audit’s AI and data strategy — and bring it to life.
Build machine learning and AI models that turn full data populations into sharper, earlier risk insight.
Hunt out fraud, error and control gaps with anomaly detection — across 100% of the data, not just samples.
Stand up the pipelines, dashboards and tooling that power continuous auditing across the whole audit lifecycle.
Bring auditors on the journey — coaching, training and raising data literacy across the team.
Help us assure how the business itself uses AI — model risk, fairness, transparency and governance.
Be our voice on what ‘good’ looks like, benchmarking against the best in the industry.

What you’ll bring

A quantitative mind and a track record of shipping analytics, ML or AI solutions in the real world.
Fluency in Python or R and SQL, and BI tools such as Power BI.
Hands-on machine learning, statistical modelling and AI — plus the judgement to use them responsibly.
Comfort with modern cloud and data platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP or Snowflake) and building data pipelines.
The rare knack of explaining the technical simply — and influencing senior stakeholders.
Curiosity about risk, processes and controls (internal audit experience welcome, but not essential).
A data, analytics or audit certification (e.g. CISA, CIA) is a bonus, not a must.

Why join us

Build a capability, don’t just maintain one — genuine scope to innovate.
Small, high-profile team with visibility at the most senior levels of a global business.
The backing, data and autonomy to do work that actually changes how we operate.
Hybrid working and the flexibility to balance time in the office and at home.
Career pathways across Internal Audit and the wider global business.
