In a world where political priorities can shift overnight and regulatory frameworks are constantly evolving, public affairs professionals are the bridge between your organisation and the decision-makers who shape its future. For employers, hiring the right people into this function isn’t just important, it’s mission-critical.

At Murray McIntosh, we understand that public affairs recruitment is unlike any other. It’s not about filling a vacancy; it’s about securing talent that can navigate complexity, anticipate legislative change, and build relationships that deliver real influence. Our team has years of experience sourcing professionals who thrive in this high-stakes environment, people who combine strategic thinking with deep sector knowledge.

The public affairs landscape is dynamic. From policy advocacy and government relations to stakeholder engagement and regulatory affairs, the skills required today are broader and more nuanced than ever. We stay ahead of these shifts, advising employers on emerging trends and helping them build resilient teams equipped for tomorrow’s challenges.

Our approach is consultative and research-driven. We don’t just recruit, we map the market, identify passive talent and leverage our extensive network to find candidates who align with your objectives and values. Whether you need a senior leader to shape your lobbying strategy or a specialist to manage complex regulatory issues, we know where to find them and, perhaps more importantly, how to attract them.

Partnering with Murray McIntosh means working with a recruitment consultancy that understands the stakes, the subtleties and the speed of public affairs. We deliver more than hires, we deliver capability, continuity, and confidence in a sector where influence matters.
