Account Director

Most Account Director roles? Surface-level, overly polished, and full of noise.

Not this one.

You know you’re capable of more. This role gives you the room to show it. You’ll step into a role that matches the way you already think and lead.

This is your chance to guide business owners through meaningful brand transformation – helping them move from chaos to clarity, from blending in to standing out. At Design Studio Perth , you’ll work closely with clients and our creative team to shape distinctive brands that grow with intention and impact.

What makes this role different:

• Strategic brand leadership, not campaign management – You'll lead clients through our Brand Fusion Framework, helping define, refine, and align their brand across every touchpoint.
• You're their trusted brand advisor – Not a project chaser or client pleaser. You'll build partnerships rooted in trust, strategy, and confidence.
• Work with clients ready to grow – Our clients aren't here for surface-level branding. They're ready to invest in the real work—and they value your expertise.
• High autonomy, no micromanagement – We back high‑performers who own outcomes, drive conversations, and bring structure to the creative.

What this role isn't:

• Not about running marketing campaigns or ad sets
• Not a client-service rep – we want leadership, not lip service
• Not for fence-sitters – our clients want clarity, not indecision
• Not a stepping-stone – we want someone who's building a name in brand strategy

The Role: Guide, Advise, Elevate

• Lead clients through every stage of our Brand Fusion Framework – from discovery to definition to design to launch.
• Run strategic workshops and brand consultations that spark clarity and direction.
• Collaborate with our internal creative team to ensure all execution aligns with strategy.
• Keep projects running smoothly with clear communication, timelines, and follow-through.
• Identify opportunities to add value, strengthen the brand, and grow the relationship.
• Be a go-to source of insight, support, and bold thinking.

Who We're Looking For

• A confident, strategic communicator with a passion for branding that actually moves the needle. You've got the experience, presence, and mindset to guide business owners – and rally a creative team.
• 5+ Years in brand strategy, client services, or account leadership within a creative/branding agency.
• Client services experience in any relevant role is acceptable for this position.
• Proven experience guiding clients through complex brand decisions.
• Deep understanding of positioning, messaging, and identity frameworks.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills – you hold a room with clarity and warmth.
• Ability to collaborate across strategy, design, and copy to bring ideas to life.
• Calm, organised, and confident in fast-paced environments.

This is a space for sharp minds, high standards, and work that actually works.

We're here to set the standard, not follow it.
