Job Details
Some opportunities come along at exactly the right moment. This is one of them.
Westminster Search is proud to be working with an ambitious agency in the property communications space. This is an organisation with a clear ambition to do things differently, to challenge the way the industry operates and to offer clients something genuinely fresh. They are growing with purpose, and they are now looking for an Account Director to help shape what comes next.
A Role With Real Influence
This is not a role where you simply slot into an existing structure. You will have a real say in how the agency works with clients and how it continues to build its reputation in the market. If you have ever wanted to feel genuine ownership over your work, this is your chance.
The team is ambitious and collaborative, and they are looking for someone who is energised by the idea of contributing to something exciting. A willingness to be close to the work and involved at every level will serve you well here.
What You Will Be Doing
You will take the lead on a portfolio of clients working across property and planning communications, delivering campaigns that span media relations, stakeholder engagement and community consultation. Your work will matter. Planning is one of the most contested and politically charged areas of public life, and communications done well in this space makes a real difference.
What We Are Looking For
You will have a strong background in property and planning communications, with experience that covers media relations, stakeholder engagement and community relations. You will understand the planning process, the politics that surrounds it and the diverse range of people who have a stake in it.
You will be someone who is motivated by the opportunity in front of you and ready to make a genuine impact in an agency that is on an exciting growth trajectory.
Closing Date: 12 April 2026
