Step into this Account Director role and build something that matters in PR & Communications.
Australian brands are under more scrutiny than ever, and the agencies that win are the ones who can turn a chaotic news cycle into a coherent story.
This is a startup PR & Communications consultancy, small enough that your ideas ship the same week you pitch them, growing fast enough that an Account Director genuinely shapes where the business goes next.
If you like ownership more than hierarchy, this one's worth a proper look.
Here's what you'll be doing: Run day-to-day client relationships for a portfolio of accounts, acting as the senior point of contact when things get tricky Build and pitch integrated PR & Communications strategies, then own delivery from first draft to final report Draft and place media materials, chase journalists, and manage reactive comms when a story breaks fast Brief and mentor junior account staff, reviewing their work before it goes out the door Track campaign performance and turn the numbers into a story clients actually want to read Spot growth opportunities within existing accounts and help shape new business pitches Here are the skills you'll need: Solid agency or in-house experience in PR & Communications, with a track record of managing client accounts end to end Confident media relations skills.
You know which journalists to call and when to leave it alone Sharp writing.
Press releases, briefing notes, client reports, all need to read cleanly under pressure Comfortable juggling several accounts at once without dropping the details that matter A calm head when a campaign goes sideways, and the judgement to know when to escalate Genuine curiosity about what makes a story land, and the drive to keep learning as the tools change Key perks and benefits: A$55,000 to A$82,500, depending on experience Equity in the business, so the upside is actually yours too Hybrid working from Adelaide, with flexible hours built around how you work best A learning and development budget you're expected to actually use A flat structure where your ideas reach decision-makers directly, not through three layers of sign-off Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
PR & Communications rewards people who can think fast and write faster, and demand for that skill set keeps climbing as brands fight harder for public trust.
Adelaide's agency scene is smaller than Sydney's or Melbourne's, which means an Account Director here gets noticed quickly and takes on real responsibility sooner.
Good instincts and a strong track record still carry more weight than years on paper, and this industry tends to promote on exactly that basis.
