Sling & Stone is an integrated public relations agency purpose-built for disruptors and challenger brands changing the way we live, work and play.

Globally, we’re a team of 80+ across Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. We’ve won multiple ‘best place to work’ awards and partner with both established brands and startups including HubSpot, Autodesk, Xero, Google Cloud and many more.

We’re now on the search for an ambitious Account Director to join our Singapore team and contribute to agency goals and growth.

The role you’ll play

You’re an ambitious Account Director with experience and passion for working with business and technology brands — particularly those at the forefront of innovation. You’re looking to take that next step in your career and be part of a growing global agency.

You’re a natural leader; you play an important role in leading and delivering client campaigns, but also in helping to run the agency’s Singapore hub and grow our business. As a trusted and experienced practitioner, you will provide both clients and team members with clear counsel and guidance, laying down strategic direction based on your comms expertise and knowledge of the local landscape and media.

Beyond campaign work, you will track and manage campaign service levels, support operations and new business alongside the Head of Singapore and with the support of the global leadership team.

To be successful in securing this role, you will need to :

• Have 7+ years of communications or marketing experience (ideally in a PR agency)
• Have a passion and demonstrated success working with business and technology brands and an established network within the Singapore and Southeast Asian business landscape
• Have a proven track record of actively identifying, pursuing and converting new business opportunities
• Have proven team leadership and mentoring skills ensuring you’re leading a team to achieve and exceed client expectations
• Have strong strategic ability with experience in leading new business responses and Request for Proposals
• Be capable of driving strategic and creative campaigns, ensuring satisfaction across your client portfolio
• Build, nurture, and grow relationships with top tier media, influencers, stakeholders and industry bodies
• Be able to develop scopes of work, manage service levels which meet core client deliverables, while keeping teams engaged and motivated

Here’s a taste of Sling & Stone :

• We’re a global team of 80+ spanning Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States delivering truly global campaigns
• We’ve won multiple best place to work awards, including the 2023 PRWeek Best Place to Work APAC and the 2022 PRWeek Best Culture of the Year APAC, as well as #2 in the 2023 PRovoke Best Agencies To Work For APAC.
• We’re deliberate about which brands we work with, and say no to those who don’t fit our focus on clients shaping the future
• While we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we do take our work very seriously. We’re proud of what we do. Our team is filled with smart, skilled communicators who share and live these core values : Gumption, Build, Play, Tune in
• We give all Slingers the opportunity to do the most impactful work of their careers here, giving them the training, skills and support to develop new passions, services and client portfolios, with the support of a dedicated manager
• We offer 20 days annual leave per year as well as Christmas to New Year’s Day off in addition to your leave allowance
• Every Slinger also has access to an additional 2 floating days per year which can be used to observe dates and causes that are significant but not necessarily recognised by standard public holidays
• We’re supportive of parents and believe in inclusivity regardless of whether you’re considered the primary and secondary carer : we offer up to 12 weeks Paid Parental Leave for anyone, and in the unfortunate circumstance of baby loss, up to 8 weeks Paid Compassionate Pregnancy Loss Leave
• We enjoy Meeting Free Mondays so everyone gets a full day of uninterrupted focus time.
• With offices in Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Los Angeles and New York as well as many sister agencies across the VCCP group, there are opportunities to extend your holiday or stay in a location and work from another Sling & Stone or VCCP office with prior sign-off.
