Senior PR Account Manager – Fintech

I’m on the hunt for our next leader: a Senior Account Manager excited by working with future defining brands, and ready to step up to do the best work of their career. We are looking for someone passionate about FinTech with experience working in corporate communications on campaigns that speak to both businesses and consumers.

As a Senior Account Manager, you will unearth, define and share stories of the world’s most ambitious brands, shaping the way we work, live and play. And in doing so develop strategies, lead campaigns, manage teams, win new business, mentor staff, and spearhead agency projects.

What would your role be?

• You’ll work closely with the executive team including our Global Head of Business and Global Head of Consumer to continue to grow the burgeoning portfolio of FinTech brands.
• You’ll manage a portfolio of clients that you truly believe in – you will choose your clients, rather than being assigned. The longer you’re with the team, the broader your client list becomes.
• You’ll inform and collaborate on the strategy and creative of a number of campaigns/accounts, ensuring satisfaction across your client portfolio
• You’ll help lead a team of smart, ambitious go-getters who always raise the bar
• You’ll have the opportunity to chase clients you’ve dreamed of working with and play a pivotal role in pitching for new business and driving organic growth
• You’ll develop scopes of work, manage service levels with meeting deliverables, while keeping teams engaged and motivated to deliver the best results at all times
• You’ll have a life outside of work and will operate in a meritocracy with no politics
• You’ll continue to build, nurture, and grow relationships with top tier media, influencers, stakeholders and industry bodies
• You’ll support and lead a variety of internal projects ranging from training to recruitment, marketing, internships, and many other options depending on your personal passion areas. Be a real team contributor!

What can you bring to the team?

• You’ll be witty, confident, and know your stuff but are considerate and not arrogant
• Five or more years experience doing PR, at an agency or in-house (and know how to juggle various things at once while remaining measured)
• You are a communicator by nature with a passion for telling stories
• Great media relations skills and relationships, but also have the mindset and abilities to be able to take campaigns to the next level – through digital, social, events, activations, corporate communications and more
• You think strategically, critically, and importantly, you’re curious and have gumption. You ask a lot of questions and you are constantly looking for ways to improve how you and your teams do things
• You know how to build an affinity with your clients and what they stand for; we are extensions of them and the goals they have, not arm’s length contractors
• You are able to tune-in to many situations – be it with clients, your colleagues, the media or industries your clients service – and then turn those insights into solutions focussed actions

And last but not least, here’s a bit more about this incredible agency:

• They’re a global team of more than 50 spanning ANZ & USA, delivering truly global campaigns
• They’ve been named the top PR agency in Australia, the best place to work, and a whole bunch more. Come see for yourself!
• They’ve built a dream portfolio of clients shaping the future – from Uber to Twitter, Slack to CSIRO and more
• Their work is redefining how people, cities, business and space operate and connect
• Competitive salaries are on offer & this agency conducts regular performance reviews to ensure professional growth is a constant conversation and operate as a meritocracy
• They provide ongoing training across all levels, as well as an annual $500 to upskill in any area you desire, whether it be learning a new language, or expanding your project management skills.
• They encourage flexible working and equip the team with standing desks and the best Apple hardware and technology solutions, enabling you to be productive wherever you choose to work
• & this is just a snap shot!
