My client is one of the worlds best known PR & Comms firms and they’re entering a pivotal phase of growth within its corporate communications offering and is looking to appoint a senior leader to help define what comes next.
This is not a maintenance role. It’s a hands‑on leadership position for someone who wants to build, challenge convention and leave a visible mark on both the work and the business. Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll play a central role in shaping the direction of the corporate practice – driving revenue, evolving structures and elevating the quality and impact of output.
The Opportunity
You’ll operate as a senior strategic partner to clients while leading a high-performing team across a diverse portfolio of global consumer brands. The work spans corporate storytelling, executive positioning, reputation management and sustainability communications – delivered in a way that cuts through beyond traditional channels.
The ambition is clear: move away from predictable, formulaic corporate comms and instead create work that is culturally relevant, engaging and proactive.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Leading strategic planning across multiple accounts, ensuring work is commercially effective and creatively strong
- Acting as a senior advisor to clients, providing forward‑looking counsel on reputation, risk and opportunity
- Driving business growth through both organic account expansion and new client acquisition
- Taking ownership of high‑value pitches, from shaping the narrative through to final presentation
- Overseeing team structure, resourcing and performance to ensure consistent delivery at a high standard
- Playing a key role in the broader positioning and profile of the agency externally
Leadership & Team
You’ll lead from the front – setting the tone for quality, pace and ambition. This includes:
- Mentoring senior team members and developing future leaders
- Creating an environment where people are motivated, challenged and supported
- Maintaining high standards across output, from strategy decks through to day‑to‑day delivery
- Addressing challenges early, whether operational, cultural or client‑related
Commercial & Operational Oversight
- Managing financial performance across accounts, including forecasting, profitability and revenue growth
- Working closely with finance teams to ensure accurate budgeting, billing and reporting
- Using commercial data to inform decision‑making and identify growth opportunities
What They’re Looking For
- Significant experience in corporate communications within an agency environment delivering on Global Consumer Brands.
- A strong track record in leading client strategy and delivering measurable impact
- Proven ability to win new business and grow existing accounts
- Confidence operating at senior client level, including during high‑pressure or sensitive situations
- Strong leadership credentials, with experience building and managing high‑performing teams
- Commercial awareness and the ability to translate financial insight into action
- A proactive mindset – someone who spots opportunities, not just solves problems
Why This Role?
There is genuine momentum behind this team, with strong clients, ambitious plans and the backing to invest in growth. For the right person, this is a chance to:
- Shape the direction of a corporate practice with real autonomy
- Work on high‑profile, complex briefs with visible impact
- Build your personal profile in the industry
- Progress into broader leadership as the business scales
If you’re looking for a role where you can combine strategic thinking, commercial impact and cultural relevance…and you’re not interested in doing corporate comms the “old way” – this will be worth a conversation.
