AE-SAM PR: Consumer, Corporate + B2B in Sydney

Narrative Talent is a founder-led specialist recruitment partner for PR and communications agencies across Australia and New Zealand, using trusted relationships, targeted search and live market intelligence to help clients hire well and talent make informed career decisions.

Our client is a highly regarded independent communications agency, partnering with a mix of global brands, fast-growing businesses and challengers across Australia and APAC. Known for their strong storytelling approach, strategic thinking and collaborative culture, they work across consumer, corporate, B2B, tech and innovation-led briefs.

What makes the work particularly interesting is the variety of stories. One day you could be taking something complex in AI, health or innovation and finding the human angle behind it. Another day, you might be shaping a business story, building an executive profile or finding the consumer hook that will cut through with mainstream media.

With teams across Australia and Asia, they offer genuine regional exposure and the opportunity to work closely with experienced communications leaders across integrated, insight-led campaigns.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for PR talent from Account Executive through to Senior Account Manager level to join a collaborative team working across a genuinely varied client portfolio. Rather than looking for one rigid background, the agency is open to shaping the role around the right person. You might come from consumer PR and want broader exposure to corporate, business and innovation-led work. You might have a corporate background and be looking for more creative variety. Or you may already work across B2B, tech or integrated communications and want a role that gives you more breadth. What matters most is strong PR fundamentals, curiosity and an ability to find the right story for very different audiences.

At AE/SAE level, you’ll be building confidence across media, clients and campaigns while taking increasing ownership of your work. At AM/SAM level, you’ll have greater responsibility across client relationships, campaign delivery, strategic thinking and supporting junior team members. You’ll be part of a highly collaborative, fast-moving environment that places a strong emphasis on coaching, critical thinking, creativity and developing exceptional communications operators.

This is an agency that invests heavily in foundational skills, from media relations and storytelling through to strategic counsel, consultancy and client leadership. You’ll work closely with experienced senior leaders who are highly involved in the work, giving you visibility across entire accounts rather than being siloed into one area.

For ambitious people who genuinely want to sharpen their craft, broaden their experience and accelerate their growth, it’s an environment that balances strong support, coaching and real opportunities to develop quickly.
