• Become a trusted adviser to senior executives and some of Australia’s leading brands
• Join a fun, high-performing agency where curiosity, strategy and creativity are valued in equal measure.

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a leading integrated communications agency to find an experienced Communications Director to lead a portfolio of high-profile clients across technology, consumer, corporate, property and financial services.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply delivers campaigns. We’re looking for someone who isn’t afraid to challenge thinking, ask better questions and join the dots between culture, business and communications to uncover opportunities others might miss.

You’ll be equally comfortable sitting across the table from a CEO as you are mentoring a junior team member. Whether you’re navigating a sensitive issue, identifying a new opportunity for growth, or helping a client make sense of a changing landscape, you’ll bring confidence, commercial intelligence and calm authority to every conversation.

This is a genuine leadership role with ownership of client relationships, team development, account performance and business growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading integrated communications strategies across a portfolio of high-profile clients.
• Building trusted relationships with senior executives and C-suite stakeholders.
• Providing strategic counsel on reputation, media, issues management and communications challenges.
• Identifying emerging trends, risks and opportunities that impact client objectives.
• Driving client satisfaction, retention and organic account growth.
• Managing account profitability, resourcing and commercial performance.
• Leading, coaching and developing communications professionals across multiple client teams.
• Supporting the career development of direct reports while mentoring mid-level and junior team members.
• Creating a collaborative, high-performing team environment where people are challenged, supported and set up for success.
• Working closely with agency leadership to drive business performance and long-term growth.

You’ll also bring:

• Significant experience in PR, communications, corporate affairs or integrated agency environments.
• A strong track record managing senior client relationships.
• Experience advising C-suite executives and senior stakeholders.
• Strong commercial understanding, including account growth, profitability and client retention.
• Proven experience leading, mentoring and developing teams.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• Experience managing complex communications challenges and sensitive issues.
• The confidence to lead difficult conversations and provide trusted strategic advice when it matters most.

You’ll Thrive In This Role If You Are…curious, strategic, confident, calm under pressure, a people leader, and also playfully professional. You take your work seriously, but not yourself. You’re someone who is collaborative, approachable and contributes positively to the culture around you.

Why Join?

• Lead a portfolio of nationally recognised and global brands.
• Work across a diverse mix of industries and communications disciplines.
• Take on a genuine leadership role with influence across clients, people and business growth.
• Join a collaborative, ambitious and high-performing agency culture.
• Flexible working arrangements with a minimum of three days per week in the office.
• Additional opportunities to work alongside and mentor emerging talent.
• Ongoing learning, professional development and career progression.

Applications will be assessed as received, so please don’t hesitate in applying.
