About This Role
Job Description
As APCO continues its evolution from a communications agency to a globally integrated advisory-first firm, the Chief International Development Officer (CIDO) – who also serves as MENA Chairman – supports this journey by driving international development and regional leadership priorities.
We are seeking a highly motivated
Senior Consultant
with a strong foundation in communications and consulting to support the CIDO across his dual mandate.
This role is ideal for a dynamic early-career professional who combines analytical sharpness with exceptional communication skills, and who thrives in fast-paced, global, and multi-stakeholder environments.
This is a unique opportunity to gain first-hand exposure to senior leadership, international business development, and cross-regional advisory projects – while contributing to APCO’s next phase of growth.
Strategic & Business Development Support
- Conduct research and analysis on geopolitical, market, and industry trends to inform the CIDO’s international development agenda.
- Develop briefing notes, talking points, and strategic communications for internal and external engagements.
- Support the preparation of materials for client meetings, regional leadership sessions, and international forums.
Program & Stakeholder Coordination
- Assist in coordinating cross-regional initiatives between MENA, Asia, and other priority markets.
- Track progress of key projects and ensure timely follow-up on action items.
- Maintain effective communication across sector leads, practice teams, and external partners.
Executive Communications & Reporting
- Draft executive-level presentations, reports, and dashboards for leadership meetings.
- Support the preparation of board-level updates, business reviews, and thought leadership outputs.
- Ensure consistency of messaging and alignment with APCO’s global advisory-first narrative.
Special Projects & Internal Incubation
- Contribute to strategic initiatives such as new market entries, high-profile summits, and advisory product pilots.
- Support internal capability-building efforts, including knowledge management and best practice sharing.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in consulting, or professional services.
- Strong research, analytical, and problem-structuring skills; ability to provide insights clearly.
- Excellent writing and presentation skills; able to communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact.
- Collaborative mindset with strong organizational discipline and attention to detail.
- High levels of adaptability, curiosity, and professional maturity to work directly with senior executives.
- Regional or international exposure, particularly in MENA and/or Asia, is a plus.
- Bachelor’s degree required; postgraduate studies (e.g., international relations, business, communications, or public policy) desirable but not mandatory.
- Careers at APCO
- Through our recruitment, hiring and retention efforts, APCO is committed to building teams to bring the best possible expertise and robust perspectives to our clients.
- We embrace differences in experience, viewpoint and ideas, starting with our values and extending to our behaviors, policies and practices.
- We aim to create a positive work experience and welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong and can thrive.
