Every move matters
So do the people behind them.
At Hawker Britton, we work on matters where policy, politics and commercial decision-making intersect. Our clients come to us for clear advice, sound judgement and effective government relations in environments where timing and credibility matter.
That makes our people central to everything we do.
Let’s connect
We are always interested in hearing from talented professionals who bring strong judgement, intellectual curiosity and a genuine interest in government, policy and public decision-making.
Whether you are at the beginning of your career or bringing decades of experience, Hawker Britton offers the opportunity to work closely on significant issues with a team that values expertise, initiative and perspective.
Why Hawker Britton?
Hawker Britton is not a broad public affairs agency. We are a specialist government relations firm, and that focus shapes the kind of work we do and the kind of people we look for.
Our team works across lobbying, strategic counsel, regulatory strategy, stakeholder engagement and policy advocacy for organisations operating in politically and commercially significant environments. For people who are serious about government relations, that means exposure to work that is substantive, fast-moving and relevant.
