PF Global gives advice built on deep sector expertise, underpinned by global opinion and economic research, so our clients can win the arguments that will decide their future.
We are oriented around the debates that will matter most to the future, where the intersection of policy, politics, and regulation will decide what happens. We will tell clients honestly what is politically possible (and what is not) and then help them make their case by building the research, the story and the campaign that goes with it.
Working at PF Global, you’ll work alongside colleagues with diverse skills, gain exposure to senior clients, and have real opportunities to develop your career as part of our ambitious and supportive team.

You will also support junior colleagues, help the leadership team to mentor and develop talent, and help our clients to influence and shape the political agenda for their business.
