Senior Account Manager PR & Strategic Communications

Senior Account Manager – PR & Strategic Communications

Corporate, Tech & Consumer PR | Remote | Flexible hours with a 4-hour overlap on AEST (Sydney) time

Love working with ambitious businesses at the moments where the story really matters

We are looking for a commercially curious Senior Account Manager to lead strategic PR and communications work across corporate, tech and consumer clients.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who enjoys the pace of agency life, is confident advising founders and CEOs, and knows how to turn business priorities into sharp positioning, credible stories and high-quality communications.

You will be trusted to lead, expected to think and supported to keep growing.

About Us

We are an award-winning Australian strategic communications agency, established in 2013 and rated among the top PR firms in the country. We work with entrepreneurs, business leaders and disruptive brands who are experts in their field and want to build profile, raise awareness and accelerate personal and business growth.

Our clients are scaling, raising capital, entering new markets, preparing for M&A, launching partnerships, building categories and strengthening reputation. We have guided companies through ASX listings, seed funding announcements, national brand launches and years of sustained growth. Client relationships often run five years or more, and founders consistently describe us as strategic, fast, thorough and free of fluff.

We work across corporate, tech and consumer sectors including healthcare, property, telecommunications, automotive, energy, renewables, investment, professional services and emerging industries.

What started as our founder's side hustle has grown into an agile, close-knit team of PR, brand and media professionals who love business strategy and telling stories that earn media coverage. We are a senior, founder-led agency with a high-trust, high-standards culture. We move quickly, think commercially and care deeply about the quality of the work, the client experience and the people building the business with us. We champion growth in the business and in each other, and we never take ourselves too seriously.

Flexibility matters here, but it works because it is backed by ownership, clear communication and accountability.

About the Role

As Senior Account Manager, you will lead a portfolio of clients and take responsibility for account strategy, senior counsel, day-to-day delivery, quality and momentum.

You will work directly with founders, CEOs, executives, marketing leaders and client teams across capital raises, new market entry, major partnerships, reputation moments, executive profiling and broader positioning challenges.

This role needs someone who genuinely lives and breathes the news across business, media, culture and the industries your clients operate in. You will be expected to spot timely opportunities and help clients show up with relevance and credibility.

Hours: Fully flexible, with a minimum 4-hour overlap with AEST (Sydney) business hours each working day.

• Manage scopes, timelines, budgets and client expectations
• Guide junior team members and lift the quality of their thinking and work
• Keep accounts moving with pace, structure and clear communication
• Bring ideas, judgement and accountability to the clients and team around you

What You Will Bring

This role will suit someone with 6+ years experience across PR, communications or integrated agency work, and a strong track record leading client accounts.

• Recent agency experience at Senior Account Manager level
• Experience managing complex corporate and/or consumer PR accounts
• Confidence advising founders, CEOs, executives or senior marketing leaders

• Take ownership and make clear recommendations
• Value flexibility and understand it works best with accountability, communication and high standards
