John Oxley

Looking for my next full-time role.
I’m now looking to bring my experience across strategy, operations, politics and communications into a senior permanent role.
My background is deliberately broad. I have spent more than a decade working close to senior decision-makers, first in law and business strategy, then in Chief of Staff and operational roles, and more recently across political analysis, writing and broadcasting.
I'm particularly interested in roles where those strands are useful together: understanding complex environments, working across competing priorities, advising senior stakeholders and turning analysis into action.
Where I can add value
Strategy & Chief of Staff
Strategic planning, executive support, organisational change, complex projects and cross-functional coordination.
Political & public policy strategy
Political risk, policy analysis, government relations and understanding how changes in the political environment affect organisations.
Strategic communications
Developing clear narratives, briefing senior leaders and translating complex issues for different audiences.
Geopolitical & security analysis
Political and strategic analysis of international affairs, with a particular interest in European security, NATO and grey-zone activity.
What I bring
-
More than a decade working in strategy, operations and senior advisory roles
-
Experience working directly with CEOs, founders, owners and senior political stakeholders
-
A legal background and strong analytical training
-
Experience operating inside organisations rather than advising from a distance
-
A substantial public profile as a political writer and broadcaster
-
The ability to move between strategic thinking, detailed analysis and execution
I am particularly interest in roles across strategy, Chief of Staff, political risk, public policy, strategic communications and related areas. I’m particularly interested in organisations dealing with complex political, commercial or strategic questions.
Interested?
If you think there may be a fit, I'd be glad to have a conversation
