Design Studio Perth Account Director
The Opportunity:
Most Account Director roles? Surface-level, overly polished, and full of noise.
Not this one.
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
* 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
Why Design Studio Perth?
We're not your typical Branding Agency - and that's by design.
At Design Studio Perth, we build brands that don't just look good - they lead. We're strategic to the core, allergic to mediocrity, and obsessed with helping businesses grow with distinction.
This is a space for sharp minds, high standards, and work that actually works.
No haphazard creative. No guesswork. Just clear strategy, standout design, and a team that backs bold thinking all the way.
We're here to set the standard, not follow it.
Location: Perth-based.
We're open to hybrid flexibility for the right person - but we know the best thinking happens when you're in the room.
