About the role

This is a pivotal fixed-term contract within a newly structured, high-growth team. As a Senior Account Manager, you’ll hit the ground running to lead the day-to-day management of a sophisticated portfolio of clients across Corporate, Financial Services, Private Equity, Managed Funds and ASX-listed businesses.

This role has a strong corporate reputation and strategic communications focus, with approximately 30 – 40% of the portfolio involving IR and financial communications. While prior IR experience is advantageous, it is not essential. The successful candidate will bring strong corporate communications expertise and confidence working with listed companies and senior stakeholders.

The initial contract is 9 months, but a 12-month contract may also be considered for the right candidate. There is also potential with the potential to convert to a permanent role at the end of the contract period.

Key responsibilities:

• Leading the day-to-day management of a diverse portfolio of corporate and financial services clients.
• Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, delivering strategic corporate communications, corporate reputation and executive profiling programs, with exposure to Investor Relations and financial communications initiatives, including shareholder communications and trade media strategy.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with senior client stakeholders, providing strategic counsel across a range of corporate communications priorities.
• Mentoring and developing an Account Manager and Senior Account Executive, fostering a collaborative, high-performing team culture.
• Partnering with the Senior Leadership Team to identify organic growth opportunities and contribute to new business proposals and presentations.
• Leveraging and expanding your network of Australian business and trade journalists to secure high-quality media coverage.
• Managing account performance, campaign delivery and commercial outcomes to ensure exceptional client service and profitability.

The ideal candidate:

• You have strong corporate communications instincts and enjoy working across complex, reputation-focused client portfolios.
• You are comfortable supporting communications programs that include Investor Relations, even if it hasn’t been the primary focus of your career to date.
• Experience in IR and financial communications is highly regarded.
• You enjoy mentoring junior team members and helping them develop professionally.
• You’re looking for an opportunity to make an immediate impact within a collaborative, high-performing team, with the flexibility of an initial fixed-term contract and the potential for a longer-term opportunity.
