Do you want to work alongside some of the best and brightest brands in the world? Receive first-class professional development every week? Would you like to work flexibly? Do you fancy free chocolate in the afternoon, great snacks and the idea of enjoying summer hours on a Friday afternoon? Well now you can!

The Acumen team is after an energetic Account Manager to work with our fantastic line up of clients. We are looking for someone with at least two years’ work experience in communications/public relations, gained in a fast-paced communications environment.

Acumen provides advisory, strategy, corporate and marketing communications services to local and global organisations. Our purpose is to evolve, promote and protect brands and reputations with conversations that matter.

You’ll play an integral role working on high impact campaigns, with a broad mix of clients across both corporate and consumer communications from technology to food and beverage clients, to financial and professional services - and everything in between. You will have the opportunity to work in high-performing teams motivated to get great results, and to have fun along the way.

We’re after someone who is interested in the news agenda, a strong writer and who isn’t afraid to hustle. We need someone who is excellent at building relationships with clients and stakeholders. Meticulously organised and detail-focused, you’ll be curious, enthusiastic, and always on the lookout for opportunities for your clients.

Our business is set-up for you to shine. We pride ourselves on nurturing and investing in our team of talented people. Being independent and employee-owned defines our culture and sets us apart from other agencies. We are ethical and inclusive with shared values of creativity in our thinking, credibility in our teams, energy in our actions and real warmth in our relationships.

We offer a flexible working environment, the chance to work with and learn from exceptional consultants on a wide variety of campaigns. Our affiliation with Edelman, the world’s largest communication company, gives us access to global data, best-practice as well as opportunities to partner on work programmes.
