Hanson Search is partnering with a leading financial and corporate communications agency to appoint a Financial Communications Partner in Frankfurt. The agency is part of a global communications network with offices across the world’s major financial centres. It advises listed companies, financial institutions, investors and their advisers when the stakes are highest.
About the Financial Communications Partner Role
The German practice advises international clients and companies across the DAX and MDAX, alongside ongoing investor and media relations work. Its mandates span M&A, IPOs, shareholder activism, restructuring and crisis situations. As demand grows for senior counsel on transactions and special situations, the agency is strengthening its leadership in Frankfurt.
In this Financial Communications Partner role, you will lead senior client relationships and shape strategic advice at board level. Winning new business and developing the team sit at the heart of the role. Working closely with Partners across the network’s international offices, you will also help set the direction of the German practice.
You will sit on the German leadership team with the backing of a global network, so your time can go into clients and growing the practice.
Why This Partner Role Stands Out
You will not start from a blank page, as the practice already has an established client base and a strong reputation in the German market. The role combines the autonomy to shape a practice with the reach of an international network.
There is real scope to grow through cross-border mandates and new sector offers. Building a stronger presence with financial investors and their advisers is another clear opportunity.
Financial Communications Partner Responsibilities
- Act as a trusted adviser to CEOs, CFOs, boards and heads of communications and investor relations.
- Lead communications on M&A, IPOs, capital markets transactions, shareholder activism, restructuring and crisis situations.
- Originate new mandates with corporates and financial investors.
- Build relationships with investment banks, law firms, private equity houses and other advisers.
- Take ownership of commercial performance, including revenue and margin, while growing the client portfolio.
- Lead and mentor a high-performing team of consultants.
- Contribute to cross-border pitches and mandates across the global network.
Financial Communications Experience and Skills
- Bring significant financial communications experience from a leading agency, a listed company, a financial institution or a related advisory role.
- Show a record of advising on M&A, IPOs, capital markets transactions and special situations in Germany.
- Draw on a strong network across German financial and business media as well as among bankers, lawyers, investors and private equity professionals.
- Demonstrate business development success and the ability to originate new mandates.
- Advise confidently at board level and keep sound judgement under pressure.
- Build strong teams and develop the people within them.
- Work fluently in German and English.
What’s on Offer in Frankfurt
