Step into this Senior Account Director role and build something that matters in PR & Communications.
Perth's PR and communications scene has grown sharper and faster over the past few years, with clients expecting agility rather than polished reports that arrive a week too late.
This business is a lean, fast-moving startup backing its instincts over process, and it's now looking for a Senior Account Director to run client relationships that actually carry weight.
You'd be joining a flat structure where ideas get tested, not filed.
Here's what you'll be doing: Lead a portfolio of client accounts, owning strategy, delivery, and the relationship end to end Build and pitch communications campaigns that respond to real media shifts, not last year's playbook Manage crisis communications and reputation issues as they land, often with little notice Mentor junior account staff while still doing hands-on client work yourself Negotiate scope, budgets, and timelines directly with clients, no layers of approval in between Spot new business opportunities within existing accounts and help pitch for new ones Here are the skills you'll need: Several years running senior client relationships within PR & Communications, agency or in-house Sharp written and verbal communication, you'll draft everything from press releases to board-level updates Comfort with ambiguity.
Startups change direction, and you'll need to change with them Commercial instinct, you understand what drives a client's business, not just their media coverage Calm under pressure when a story breaks the wrong way at the wrong time A genuine interest in mentoring people earlier in their career Key perks and benefits: Salary of A$65,500 to A$83,000, depending on experience Hybrid working, split your week between home and the Perth office Equity and stock options, so you share in what you help build Flexible working hours and a genuinely remote-friendly culture A learning and development budget to keep sharpening your craft Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
PR & Communications keeps expanding as clients demand faster, more honest engagement with their audiences, and that trend isn't slowing down.
Perth offers a tighter, more connected market than the eastern capitals, which means a Senior Account Director here can build a genuine reputation rather than get lost in the noise.
Good people in this field tend to be rewarded quickly, because trust and judgement are hard to fake.
