About the role
Milltown Partners is a global advisory firm working with influential organizations and individuals on the communications and public policy challenges that define their reputations.
We’ve spent ten years building creative, thoughtful communications, public policy and research programs for technology companies, investors, sports and entertainment businesses - and the leaders who run them.
You might not know us, but you know our clients - and that’s deliberate. Most of our work comes from our network of past clients and from referrals. Originally founded in London in 2013, we are a 165 strong global team. Since launching in the US in 2018, we’ve focused on building a team of exceptional people who drive the quality of our work and the strength of our client relationships, and it has paid off.
Our US team of 60 in San Francisco, New York and beyond has helped build trust for autonomous vehicles; steered reputation for the largest venture funds; shaped strategy for industry-leading AI companies; grown the profiles of leaders from iconic companies and legacy businesses; helped sporting organizations through pivotal moments; and used research to help the world’s largest technology companies make critical decisions on existential issues - from free speech to content safety and privacy.
We have ambitious plans for the next phase of our business. We see huge opportunity in the evolving media landscape, the introduction of AI and experimentation to our work, and the potential for us to define what modern communications strategy and delivery looks like - across a roster of fascinating clients.
