Client EXECUTIVE

An entry point into strategic communications focused on the built environment, working with a team that values initiative, sound judgement and the ability to get things done.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is an exciting opportunity to join a specialist property communications consultancy delivering strategic advice and results for clients across property, development, planning and construction.

ABOUT CASCADE

We work with the people shaping the built environment across the UK, from major new developments and city centres to heritage projects and regeneration schemes. Our clients span the private and public sectors, including developers, local authorities and partners delivering complex projects that have a real impact on places and communities.

Our work covers the full range of communications, including strategic and corporate communications, media relations, stakeholder engagement, public consultation and political campaigns. This role offers the chance to gain experience across all of these areas.

Our values of entrepreneurship, teamwork, adding value and genuinely caring about our clients shape how we work every day. We are an established and growing consultancy with an excellent client base and a strong reputation in the sector.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a Client Executive who is confident speaking to anyone, able to build rapport quickly and understands how to listen as well as communicate. You will be a clear and thoughtful writer, able to see problems from different angles and come up with practical solutions.

This role is about attitude and potential rather than prior experience. You may be a recent graduate or have some early experience, but what matters most is curiosity, drive and a genuine interest in people and places. We are looking for someone who wants to learn, take responsibility and build a career in communications.

What you will be doing

From the outset, you will have early exposure to clients, supporting and then leading on day-to-day relationships and projects across strategic communications, media, stakeholder engagement, consultation and political campaigns.

Strong project management and time management skills are essential. You will be trusted to keep work moving, prioritise effectively and deliver to a high standard.

You should be comfortable working independently while contributing to a small, collaborative team where everyone is expected to take ownership and get involved.

How you will develop

We will provide training and support, but we expect you to be proactive, ask questions and look for opportunities to improve how we work.

An interest in how communications is evolving, particularly through social media, digital channels and AI tools, is important.

Essential skills

• Confident communicator, able to build rapport with a wide range of people
• Clear, concise writing with the ability to produce high quality work quickly
• Strong presentation skills and confidence speaking in different settings
• Strong project management and organisational skills
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively
• Good judgement and ability to think around problems and develop solutions
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of work
• Collaborative and willing to contribute ideas within a small team
• Interest in people, places and the built environment
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office, social media platforms, digital engagement and emerging AI tools

Desirable skills

• Experience in community engagement, professionally or in a voluntary capacity
• Experience working with media or social media for campaigns or events
• Interest in or exposure to political campaigns

Salary and benefits

Up to £32,000 (dependent on experience) plus benefits.

What you will get

In return, you will gain hands-on experience across all aspects of the business, working directly with clients and taking on responsibility early in your career.

You will be part of an ambitious, intelligent and supportive team, be trusted to use your initiative and have the opportunity to progress quickly.
