Seriously, the sky’s the limit with the impact you can make!
As the Senior leader of the Melbourne agency, you’ll have the freedom to map out how you create a foundation and work towards achieving those growth objectives in Victoria whilst playing a crucial role in deciding how the team should be scaled, whether that’s through building your very own local client service team around you or investing in marketing, etc. you’ll fully get to champion this.

And you? For starters, you’re a natural leader, you’re ambitious, you’re a people person who is values-driven and genuine to your core, and naturally, you’re an excellent communicator. We’d also like to think you’re someone who has spent a good chunk of your career to date in agency land, you’re pretty bloody familiar with it by now, and you feel a natural excitement and readiness to champion a role like this yourself!
As you can probably tell, you’ll need to be someone who is well connected in the Melbourne digital community, is confident in marketing and pitching to big clients, and know how to ‘talk the talk’ when it comes to creating successful digital strategies for the clients you’re engaging with. You get your kicks from spending your time meeting people, connecting with key players/ brands/ partners in the market, and adding value to them with the support of the incredibly talented team of specialists that will be surrounding you.
You also enjoy the thought of continuously growing your network in the Melbourne market with your eye on the prize of growing market share for the agency in your patch. And right now?
