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
* 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.
