Senior Account Manager or Director

We're looking for a talented Senior Account Manager, or Account Director, to join our Adelaide team.

Simple is an internationally recognised and awarded full-service marketing agency.

We're a tight-knit team of 40+ specialists spanning a full range of disciplines; from strategy, branding and design through to advertising, production and all-things digital.

From our Adelaide and Melbourne bases, we shape perceptions, behaviours and culture for our clients across the country and beyond. We create work that works.

We understand that great people make great agencies and right now we’re looking for a talented Senior Account Manager, or Account Director, who shares our passion for creating industry-leading work to join our team.

The Role

In this role, you'll be the connective tissue between our clients and our studio. A confident, energetic communicator who builds trust quickly, drives projects forward and brings a shared passion for creating industry-leading work.

Specifically, we’re looking for someone who can:

• Take the lead on clients and major projects
• Confidently prioritise, multitask and manage multiple projects —large and small— simultaneously
• Build strong relationships quickly, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Gather comprehensive business requirements —through briefing workshops, discovery sessions and beyond— and translate them into meaningful, succinct briefs.
• Work with internal teams to define project scopes, and to prepare and persuasively present commercial proposals to clients
• Stay involved with projects through every stage, including strategic and creative client presentations, refinement, rollout and beyond
• Proactively push work through the studio, ensuring client timelines and expectations are communicated and met
• Navigate sticky conversations and situations with confidence, knowing when to escalate a concern with a client or project
• Identify opportunities within existing clients and prepare compelling commercial proposals to bring them to life

About Simple

We believe who we are is as important as what we create. In a world of AI, our people are what make Simple great, and every person brings unique strengths and experiences that make us better together. Our values are simple. Hungry, humble, human.

For the right person, joining Simple means:

• Working alongside a team of specialists who treat everyone as equal, where the best ideas shine no matter who came up with them and where kindness and respect aren’t just words on a wall.
• A modern, light-filled studio on King William Road — our shared home away from home, where we cook delicious lunches, collaborate, explore ideas and create industry-leading work.
• The chance to always be evolving. We embrace the mindset that there’s always more to learn, and we’ll provide real opportunities and encouragement for your growth.
• A culture where every voice is valued and diverse perspectives shape the way we do things.
• Monthly team outings, because getting together outside the studio is both fun and important.
• An enviable portfolio of local, national and international clients.
• A competitive salary package commensurate with your experience.
