Brunswick Group is seeking to hire an Executive to join our Madrid office.
As an Executive, you will deliver timely news updates and analysis of financial markets, media, political and broader stakeholders – and in doing so you will develop a strong understanding of clients’ businesses. Brunswick Executives are the eyes and ears of their teams; they prepare key client documents, in particular biographies, stakeholder lists and industry/competitor analysis, and often lead on research, working alongside our research teams.
Executives ensure the smooth running of client projects and accounts, working alongside assistants to oversee logistics for client meetings and events, including developing agendas and ensuring documents are shared in advance.

Perform competitive analyses of clients and peer groups; identify and analyse research and media coverage on industry trends.
Effectively handle logistics around media and client meetings, announcement days, and other client events.
