As Account Director, you’ll lead meaningful, multi-disciplinary projects across creative, digital, PR, events, strategy and research. You’ll act as a trusted partner to your clients — shaping inclusive, respectful and community-informed campaigns, and guiding them from first spark to final delivery.

A natural relationship-builder and strategic thinker, you know how to bring teams together to do their best work. You’ll champion best-practice account leadership, foster seamless collaboration across the agency, and help create work that genuinely connects and delivers measurable impact.

While every day will look different, at a high level you will:

• Work across a portfolio of clients and projects to deliver effective and creative communications.
• Establish and lead regular project/client meetings and communications to ensure clients and internal teams are focused, informed and aware of their responsibilities and deadlines.
• Work with the Sydney Director to identify any issues and help solve client and internal challenges
• Mentor junior members of the Client Management team, providing guidance and training to help upskill and progress their career.
• Champion best practice integration across disciplines, demonstrating leadership and initiative by recommending and implementing more effective ways of working.
• Work quickly to identify and solve problems with client relationships and project deliverables.
• Deliver campaigns and communications programs against the agreed strategy ensuring that the strategy is championed throughout the life of the project.
• Help with the delivery of the Client Management team’s organisational plan, ensuring the team is delivering on the priorities set each year.

You have:

• 7+ years’ experience in account management, ideally within an integrated agency environment
• Proven experience leading client relationships and delivering integrated campaigns across multiple disciplines (creative, digital, PR, events, etc.)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong presentation and stakeholder management ability
• A positive, solutions-focused mindset with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Experience mentoring and supporting junior team members
• Strong project, time management and prioritisation skills, with exceptional attention to detail
• The ability to collaborate effectively across teams and work well under pressure
• Knowledge of production processes (desirable)
• Experience working with government clients (an advantage, but not essential)
