Account Director
1 day ago
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
