We're partnering with a very well established, independently owned branding agency to find an experienced Account Director (or exceptional SAM ready to step up) for their growing Consumer Branding division in Melbourne.
The role:
This is a specialist role for someone with a proven FMCG packaging background. You'll be the driving force across key Consumer Brand client portfolios — leading new brand identities, packaging rollouts, packaging refreshes, and consumer brand communications (including digital and social).
You'll be fully client-facing and trusted to run WIPs and relationships with senior brand managers, backed by a highly experienced internal team spanning strategy, insights, writing, creative, and finished art.
We're looking for someone who can:
* Lead FMCG packaging clients confidently and independently
* Manage complex project workflows with minimal support
* Bring curiosity and commercial awareness to client conversations — beyond the basics of project management
You must have:
* Significant experience managing FMCG packaging clients within a brand packaging or branding agency
* Deep knowledge of the packaging production process — from concepts to GS1 barcodes and live shelf execution
* Confidence navigating complex brand portfolios with large SKU counts
* Familiarity with NPD cycles, pack rollouts, SKU updates and brand refreshes
* Strong project management and client leadership skills — able to operate autonomously
Why join this agency?
* Largest, independently owned, highly regarded branding business
* Dedicated Consumer Branding division with major growth momentum
* Supportive, collaborative culture — 5 weeks leave, Udemy access, monthly lunches
* A role that offers true autonomy and the chance to help shape this specialist division
* Hybrid - 3 days onsite - 2 days WFH
Location: Ideally Melbourne but will consider Sydney
