Flint is a fast growing, international business advisory. We help our clients succeed in an increasingly complex world, managing risk and creating opportunity. We provide advice at the point where government and business meet, offering an authoritative perspective on both. We are experts in policy, political analysis, regulation and competition.

To strengthen our team in Brussels, we are looking for a consultant, who has hands-on EU policy and regulatory experience, intellectual rigor, entrepreneurial spirit and a drive to succeed. We are looking for candidates who thrive working with an extraordinary group of strong-minded, expert individuals, who provide innovative, candid and thoughtful advice to companies at the highest level.

You may currently be working in an EU institution, for a regulatory authority, for a strategic consultancy, a multinational or a think-tank. You understand the EU’s legislative process, enjoy networking and have sector specific skills where the EU is regulating, from technology to media, telecoms, energy, health, financial services or international or European policy. You have 2-3 years of relevant job experience, foreign languages, a university degree and are eligible to work in Belgium.
