2 days ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia LATTE Australia Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

This boutique independent agency has built its reputation on bold, creative campaigns that cut through. With fresh client wins and a milestone anniversary on the horizon, the team is looking for an Account Director to help lead the next era of ambitious, standout work.

About the agency

Over the past decade, this Sydney-based independent has grown into one of the city's most respected consumer PR agencies – still boutique, still founder-led, but competing shoulder-to-shoulder with global networks. Their work consistently makes headlines and sparks conversations, spanning consumer lifestyle, consumer tech, food and drink, entertainment, and destination clients.

Recent client wins against international networks signal the strength of their momentum, and now, with 10 years behind them, the agency is investing in new leadership. With a close-knit team and an appetite for brave creative work, this is a pivotal moment to join and help shape the next chapter of their story.

Benefits & Culture

Collaboration comes first. The team is close-knit and supportive, with founders actively involved while giving people the autonomy to lead, grow, and make their mark. Careers are nurtured, and alumni often describe their time here as the launchpad to the next big step.

Professional development is built into the culture. Every team member has a dedicated annual training budget, with recent programs ranging from presentation skills to leadership development. Lunch-and-learns with journalists and industry experts keep the team inspired and connected. Progression is based on merit, not tenure.

Benefits:

  • 20 days annual leave
  • $1,000 individual yearly training budget
  • Early Friday finishes during summer months
  • Time in lieu for weekend/evening work

About the job

As the agency steps into its second decade, they are hiring an Account Director to help shape what the next 10 years will look like in terms of clients, culture, and agency growth.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading consumer brand accounts with confidence and impact
  • Building trusted client relationships, taking briefs, solving problems, and guiding day-to-day conversations
  • Driving publicity: spotting stories, pitching media, and mentoring the team in media relations
  • Rolling up your sleeves – leading from the front, pitching, and delivering, not just overseeing
  • Empowering the team – coaching, supporting, and enabling them to deliver their best
  • Shaping creative campaigns – turning bold ideas into measurable results
  • Bringing influencer campaign experience and awareness of affiliate as part of the PR mix

About you

  • An Account Director coming from a consumer PR background (or a strong Senior Account Manager ready to make the next step in their career)
  • Strong publicity background – excellent at spotting and pitching stories
  • Client leadership skills – confident in meetings and trusted by clients
  • Strategic creativity – can shape and deliver standout campaign ideas
  • Positive, collaborative attitude – thrives in a team-focused environment
  • Experience with influencer campaigns and an awareness of affiliate is preferred
