What's in it for you?
Looking for the next big step in your agency career? This is a chance to take on a senior role where you'll have both responsibility and room to grow. You'll be leading major client accounts, guiding a small team, and working across creative, digital, and integrated campaigns that are seen on a national stage.

What you'll be doing:

  • Acting as the senior partner for clients - trusted to solve problems and deliver impact
  • Leading campaigns from concept through to execution across multiple channels
  • Managing and mentoring account service staff, supporting their growth and performance
  • Working closely with strategy, creative, and production teams to deliver outstanding work
  • Keeping projects on track - managing budgets, timelines, and ensuring quality
  • Identifying opportunities to grow client relationships and accounts

What we're looking for:

  • 5+ years' experience in a creative, marketing, or integrated agency
  • Experience leading large accounts and multi-channel campaigns
  • Strong commercial awareness – able to manage budgets and spot opportunities
  • Confident communicator who can influence and inspire both clients and teams
  • A proactive, collaborative mindset – solutions-focused and ready to lead

Why you'll love it here:

  • 9-day fortnight
  • Weekly social activities & regular agency events
  • Monthly and annual recognition awards
  • Christmas bonus leave & long-service leave perks
  • Support for your wellbeing with an external EAP
  • A culture that blends ambition with genuine care
