About The Role
FTI Strategic Communications is currently looking for a Managing Director in our People & Transformation practice who will lead change management, leader enablement, and employee engagement programs as part of multi-disciplinary teams supporting integration and transformation.
The successful Managing Director will apply a human-centric approach to change management, with a focus on effective communication, training, leader enablement and feedback loops – NOT process or program management. As a senior strategist working directly with C-suite management, Boards and other advisors, the Managing Director must be able to nimbly build programs aligned with clients’ culture and goals. They must thrive in fast-paced environments, be able to adapt proven best practices to the realities of an individual client’s situation, remain adaptable to other points of view and ways of working, and bring stakeholders along in each stage of the process. We are looking for someone who still loves to be in the work, teach as they do, and deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients in a wide variety of situations.
A successful Managing Director understands and lives by FTI’s values, Code of Ethics and the Strategic Communications Rules of Practice. Additional information about FTI’s values, Code of Ethics and the Strategic Communications Rules of Practice can be accessed here . FTI professionals must act with the highest level of integrity at all times and hold our clients accountable for the same.
The Managing Director must be able to manage multiple clients, direct and coach teams of varying experience levels, ensure projects remain on schedule and on budget, and proactively identify opportunities to expand the relationship both during and after the restructuring event.
Some travel may be required ─ including the possibility of being a key contributor to onsite client engagements, but this is NOT a traditional on-the-road consulting role. Travel is more the exception than the norm.
What You’ll Do
The Managing Director will lead client mandates on a day-to-day basis and serve in a variety of roles from strategist to counselor to implementer. Our team prides itself on maintaining an inclusive spirit in which all team members are encouraged to offer ideas and stretch their abilities on an ongoing basis. We work diligently to make opportunities available, and all roll up our sleeves to support our clients and each other with tasks large and small. As a result, there is no such thing as a “typical day” for our team members, but you can expect your work will include the following:
Client Delivery
Serve as a day-to-day client lead on accounts, managing the overall quality of work and representing the team in client meetings, video calls and while working at client sites
Present confidently to C-suite executives as a trusted advisor and keep stakeholders engaged at each stage of the project; work as a supportive partner to your client leads
Develop and lead the execution of communication strategies that ensure all stakeholders receive timely and accurate information about the planned change(s);…
