Narrative Talent is a founder-led specialist recruitment partner for PR and communications agencies across Australia and New Zealand, using trusted relationships, targeted search and live market intelligence to help clients hire well and talent make informed career decisions.

About Our Client

Our client is a global marketing communications agency with deep roots in B2B tech and a growing consumer portfolio.

In Sydney, the agency has evolved beyond its traditional PR foundations, building senior capability across social, content, creative and media. Its teams work together across disciplines and international markets to help global and high-growth businesses turn complex ideas into explicit, relevant stories.

The Sydney office combines the reach, clients and career exposure of an international agency with the autonomy of a close-knit local team. The culture is flat, collaborative and entrepreneurial, giving senior people the freedom to make decisions, contribute ideas and influence how the agency develops.

While B2B tech remains central to the business, the continued growth of its consumer and integrated work gives people wider exposure and the opportunity to develop beyond a single sector or communications channel.

The Opportunity

Our client is looking for an experienced Account Manager ready to step up, or an established Senior Account Manager who wants more autonomy and international exposure.

This is a senior client and team leadership role. You’ll take ownership of client relationships, provide communications advice, oversee the quality and commercial performance of accounts and develop the junior people working alongside you.

You’ll also collaborate with social, content,



creative and media specialists, contribute to new business and play a visible role in the continued growth of the Sydney office.

Previous B2B tech experience would be valuable, but it is not essential. The agency is open to strong talent from consumer, corporate or digital communications backgrounds who can bring sharp media instincts, confident client leadership and genuine curiosity about business and technology.

- Leading day-to-day client relationships and becoming a trusted communications advisor
- Translating business objectives into PR and integrated communications programmes

You do not need to arrive as a B2B tech specialist. What matters is your curiosity, your ability to understand a client’s business and your instinct for finding the story that will matter to its audience.
