Account Director / Associate Director

PR, Public Affairs & Communications Agencies 

If clients call you before they call anyone else in the building, we want to hear from you.

Westminster Search is building a talent pool of strong Account Directors and Associate Directors for our agency clients across PR, public affairs and communications. We are not recruiting for one role — we are getting ahead of the next ten. Join the pool now, and we will match you to a live vacancy the moment it fits.

Why register with this talent pool

• You are matched to relevant roles before they are advertised publicly.
  
• One conversation with us saves you dozens of applications to individual agencies.
  
• We know the agency market in detail, and we only put you forward for roles that suit your experience and ambitions.
  
• You hear about opportunities first, from a consultant who has placed agency professionals for years.
  

What you will be doing, in roles we place

• Owning senior client relationships, and being the person a client trusts with the account's strategy, not just its delivery.
  
• Leading account teams, developing junior colleagues and making sure work is delivered to a consistently high standard.
  
• Shaping campaign strategy and advising clients on complex or sensitive issues, including reputational risk.
  
• Contributing to new business: pitches, proposals and growing existing accounts.
  
• Working closely with agency leadership on account profitability, resourcing and client retention.
  

What clients are looking for

• Substantial experience in a PR, public affairs or communications agency, typically already operating at senior manager or director level.
  
• A track record of managing senior client relationships and being trusted with strategic advice, not just execution.
  
• Strong leadership and people management skills, and the ability to develop a team.
  
• New business experience, and a genuine interest in growing accounts and the agency.
  
• Excellent written and spoken English, and the judgement to advise a client's leadership team directly.
  

How the talent pool works

• Send your CV and a short note on the type of role you want.
  
• We will arrange a confidential call to understand your experience, motivations and salary expectations.
  
• We keep your details on file and contact you as soon as a suitable vacancy is instructed by a client.
  
• You are under no obligation, and we will never put your name forward without asking you first.
