Description

ACCOUNT DIRECTOR Strategy-First Media Agency | Sydney $100K - $130K + Super | Hybrid Work | People Leadership Role Tired of being just another media specialist? Ready to become a genuine business partner? HustleTalent is excited to be partnering with this consultancy-driven media agency that takes on their clients' business problems as their own – going far beyond campaign performance to drive measurable commercial growth. We're looking for an Account Director who thinks like a business owner, not just a marketer. Someone who gets energised by complex challenges, builds genuine strategic partnerships with clients, and wants to develop people while growing their own career. Why This Role Is Different This isn't a traditional media role. You won't be drowning in day-to-day execution or stuck in the weeds of campaign optimisation. Instead, you'll be running strategic client workshops, conducting market mix modelling, and solving diverse business challenges across omnichannel retail, B2B tech, luxury brands, and e-commerce. You'll have access to their in-house data science team (led by an ex-ANZ Bank data scientist) and their sister company's market mix modelling SaaS tool. You'll be working at the cutting edge of strategic marketing, not just managing media buys. What We Need From You Dual experience: You've worked both agency and client-side, so you understand both perspectives Business acumen: You care about commercial outcomes, not just marketing metrics Versatility: You've worked across diverse industries and client types – no narrow specialists here Client leadership: You build deep, trusted relationships and can independently lead strategic conversations Hands-on heritage: You don't need to be on the tools daily, but you've been there and understand the execution Entrepreneurial spirit: You're tenacious, resourceful, and thrive when solving unfamiliar challenges Bonus points if: You've worked in smaller/mid-size agencies (though we won't rule out adaptable holding company folks) • You have search expertise or social/programmatic specialisation • You've demonstrated career progression with good tenure Why This Agency? The values: Evidence over ego • Transparency over convenience • Incremental growth over surface-level performance • Action over procrastination • Positivity in all we do The perks: Hybrid work (3 days office, 2 WFH) • In-house data science team • Access to cutting-edge market mix modelling tools • Genuine autonomy and free rein • Career development and progression • Sponsorship available for the right candidate The Opportunity This is a chance to step into a strategic leadership role where you'll genuinely impact client businesses, develop your team, and grow alongside a tight-knit agency that's building something special. You'll work with 25+ diverse clients, have access to sophisticated data science capabilities, and be part of a culture that values your ideas regardless of title or tenure. If you're ready to move beyond traditional media and become a true business partner, we want to hear from you. How to Apply Send your CV and a short note to HustleTalent explaining: Why you're moving beyond pure media work into strategic consultancy A complex business challenge you've solved independently Your experience across diverse industries and client types ASAP start available for the right candidate (earliest 2-3 weeks). Our client is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. Sponsorship available for exceptional international candidates.
