About the agency

Ten years ago, Neon Black opened its doors with a simple ambition: to create bold, creative work that cuts through. A decade later, the agency has grown into one of Sydney’s most respected independents – still boutique, still founder-led, but competing shoulder-to-shoulder with global networks.

Along the way, they’ve built a reputation for campaigns that don’t just make headlines but spark conversations, from BritBox’s star-powered relaunch with Kris Marshall, to a floating pizza island on Sydney Harbour, and the launch of Hay Street Market, a major dining and cultural precinct in the heart of Haymarket. Their recent win of the Philips home portfolio against international agencies is the clearest sign yet that Neon Black’s momentum isn’t slowing down any time soon.

Now, as Neon Black celebrates its 10th anniversary with fresh client wins, a tight-knit team, and a renewed appetite for ambitious creative work, this is a pivotal moment to join and contribute to the agency’s next decade.

Benefits & Culture

At Neon Black, collaboration comes first. The team is close-knit and supportive, with founders actively involved while giving people the autonomy to lead, grow, and make their mark. It’s a place where careers are nurtured, and where alumni often describe their time as the launchpad to the next big step.

Professional development is built into the culture. Each team member has a dedicated annual training budget, with recent programs including helping team members with client confidence by sending them on a NIDA presentation course, and helping managers lead better through a Liberated Leaders course. Lunch-and-learns with journalists and industry experts keep the team inspired and connected. Progression is based on merit, not tenure, ensuring that those who deliver and show leadership are recognised.

• 20 days annual leave (includes Christmas shutdown)
• $1,000 individual yearly training budget 
• Early Friday finishes during summer months
• Time in lieu for weekend/evening work

About the job

Neon Black are looking for a confident, culturally tuned-in PR Senior Account Executive to join their growing team. You’ll work across an exciting portfolio of well-known consumer and lifestyle brands, driving day-to-day client activity, guiding junior team members, and helping brands earn their place in culture.

You’ll be equally comfortable managing project timelines and taking the lead on campaign execution as you are pitching stories and securing top-tier media coverage. If you’re passionate about creativity, storytelling, and making brands part of the conversation, we’d love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities:

• Act as a reliable day-to-day touchpoint for clients on specific campaigns and ongoing activity. You will confidently handle regular updates, run weekly WIP meetings, and manage everyday client expectations.
• Significantly support campaign execution from ideation through to delivery, ensuring projects run smoothly, hit their KPIs, and stay on schedule.
• Lead media relations by example – crafting compelling pitches, leveraging your established network of journalist and influencer contacts, and securing high-impact earned coverage.
• Support on influencer relations – from seeding products, to paid campaigns, you’ll be open to learning how to earn attention across other sectors.
• Support and guide junior team members (such as Interns, Coordinators, or Executives), helping them hone their pitching skills, while effectively managing upwards to Account Managers and Directors.
• Proactively identify reactive opportunities, bringing fresh ideas to the table that tap brands into cultural moments, trends, and news cycles.
• Oversee reporting and post-campaign evaluations to ensure clients see measurable impact, and assist the senior team with broader account planning.

About you

The ideal candidate: 

• You’re an experienced PR Senior Account Executive (or an experienced Account Executive ready to step up) with solid agency experience – ideally in consumer brands or lifestyle.
• You have a proven track record of securing top-tier coverage and possess a growing “black book” of media and influencer contacts.
• You have excellent client management skills and are comfortable managing both upwards to senior leadership and downwards to guide junior staff.
• You know how to make brands part of the conversation and love the buzz of seeing your stories come to life across media and social.
• You’re highly organised, proactive, and are confident handling multiple project timelines and supporting on account admin.
• You’re passionate about PR and building a career in a creative, fast-paced environment.
