Working side by side with the world's leading experts in your field, you'll be surrounded by an open, collaborative culture that embraces diversity, recognition, professional development, and most importantly, you. Are you ready to make an impact? About The Role FTI Strategic Communications is currently looking for a Director in our People & Transformation practice who will serve as a strategic communications advisor and project manager for restructuring, merger integration, carve-out, and other transaction-related assignments. The successful Director must understand how to engage and mobilize internalize audiences to drive change and be able to coordinate with colleagues in other practice areas to develop and implement communication and change management strategies targeted to employees, media, investors, customers, suppliers and other third parties. Candidates must have a working knowledge of Chapter 11 restructuring and/or M&A transactions as well as strong writing and presentation skills and a team player mentality A successful Director is confident in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, where situations may shift quickly and require an immediate response. A successful Director must be able to lead client accounts with autonomy, while managing up and down to ensure projects remain on schedule and on budget, anticipate and prepare for potential challenges, and create new formats and strategies, where necessary, to meet a client's objectives.

FTI professionals must act with the highest level of integrity at all times and hold our clients accountable for the same. 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. While we strive to support one another and help all team members achieve a healthy work-life balance, evening and weekend work is a requirement of this role and may not always be predictable. What You'll Do The Director will interact directly with clients on a day-to-day basis and serve in a variety of roles from strategist to materials developer, and 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, and we all roll up our sleeves to support our clients and each other with tasks large and small.

You will have the opportunity to partner with a wide variety of experts to tackle complex client challenges across industries. We all learn from each other with an emphasis on a collaborative and flexible team approach. More specifically, your individual growth will be supported through: * Consistent Coaching: A dedicated coach will work with you to define goals, navigate any obstacles you may encounter, and support your progress each step of the way. At the Director level, most of our professionals meet with their coach at least every two weeks. You should never be surprised in a performance review… it's just a recap of the conversations you've already been having. * Thoughtful Staffing: We believe it's essential for our team members to gain a well-rounded skillset, with opportunities to discover their true passions over time. A centralized committee oversees the staffing of all client accounts to ensure you get the experiences you need to meet your goals as well as opportunities to work with - and learn from - a diverse set of senior professionals. * Feedback Through Ongoing Client Work: Our team has adopted shared commitments to one another, including commitments to open communication and regular "feedback moments." The documents you write don't get lost in cyberspace. You won't have to wonder if your presentation of your work went well. You'll see how thinking evolves in real time, get clear feedback on your contributions, and have opportunities to ask questions. * Formal Training: Ongoing learning and development programs - ranging from internally led webinars, to online courses, to external coursework sponsored through our tuition reimbursement program - ensure you gain the skills needed to succeed at every level. We are committed to investing in our talent.
