This role is a career-defining opportunity to lead our Melbourne location as 2IC to the Executive Director, Melbourne. You will be supported by 25+ consultants as you lead client and team growth and retention while driving new business with the support of national specialist squads. You will partner with our local and global corporate and consumer clients to devise their communications strategies while leaning into national resources to deliver creative and digital integration impacting our clients’ business goals.
The Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated integrated comms Business Director who is well connected in Victoria with business connections and with the media and who can create new opportunities that take our agency to new heights. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of success in the PR industry, across both corporate and consumer PR and have solid social media and creative content experience. The person must demonstrate strategic thinking, business acumen and have strong leadership skills with proven capability to grow a client portfolio.
