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.

- Translate business priorities into clear communications plans
- Shape positioning, messaging, media angles and thought leadership themes
- Stay close to the news agenda and identify timely opportunities
- Write and review high-quality media, strategic and client materials
- 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
- Strong writing, editing, media and storytelling skills
- Commercial awareness and the ability to turn business priorities into communications activity
- Strong judgement around what makes a story timely, relevant and credible
- Experience managing day-to-day delivery, media activity, timelines and quality control
- Experience guiding junior team members and lifting the quality of their work
Highly regarded: Experience with growth-stage businesses, capital raises, corporate technology, consumer brands, founder-led companies or businesses expanding into new markets.
You Will Thrive Here If You
- Bring confidence and credibility to senior client conversations
- Love the pace, variety and intellectual challenge of agency life
- Are curious about business, media, culture and what is shaping the news agenda
- Can move between strategy, ideas and execution without losing quality or momentum
- Take ownership and make clear recommendations
- Value flexibility and understand it works best with accountability, communication and high standards
- Care about helping the people around you do better work
- Want to contribute to how a business evolves, rather than feel like a small cog in a large agency machine
What We Offer
- A senior role with genuine influence
- Direct access to founders, CEOs and business leaders
- Remote-first flexibility with hours you control, built around a 4-hour AEST overlap
- Regular in-person team connection days and offsites
