Your next career move is waiting in Perth, Australia.

We are looking for a talented professional from the UK to join our growing team in Perth, Western Australia. If you're ready for a rewarding career and a new life in a vibrant city with great weather and a relaxed atmosphere, we want to hear from you. We understand that relocating is a significant step, which is why Sponsorship will be offered for the right candidate.

• Partner with high-profile clients on their most important digital initiatives
• Collaborate with an experienced cross-functional team
• Join a culture where everyone is motivated to impact the business beyond their role

At equ, our clients entrust us with their most strategically important digital products and digital marketing strategy, safe in the knowledge that we will help them simplify the complexities of a digital world, navigate the unknown and embrace tomorrow with confidence.

More than simply leaders; we are a team of motivators, lateral thinkers, collaborators, creative problem solvers and imaginative innovators.

About the Role

As Account Director, you’ll take the lead on key client relationships, overseeing a diverse portfolio of digital projects and marketing initiatives. You’ll act as a strategic advisor - planning ahead, identifying growth opportunities, and ensuring we deliver value at every step.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who thrives in a collaborative, agile environment. You’ll work closely with our experienced Delivery, UX, Strategy, Marketing, and Technical teams to turn client vision into meaningful outcomes.

This role is perfect for someone who wants more than just ‘maintenance mode’. You’ll be leading work that actually moves the needle - for our clients and for our agency.

What You’ll Bring

You’re a confident communicator, a proactive problem-solver, and a natural relationship builder. You understand the dynamics of client-agency partnerships and can navigate complexity with ease. Most of all, you’re commercially minded and committed to making an impact.

Skills you’ll possess:

• 7+ years’ experience in a similar role (agency or consultancy experience preferred)
• Proven experience managing digital accounts and multi-disciplinary teams
• Strong understanding of DXP/CMS websites, product development and digital marketing
• A track record of driving client growth and retention
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
• Strategic thinking and commercial acumen
• The ability to lead conversations at a senior level with confidence and clarity

Why Join equ?

We’re a tight-knit, independent team that punches well above our weight. We avoid bureaucracy and silos. Instead, we back our people to shape how we work, contribute to the agency’s direction, and do their best work.

We believe the most meaningful growth happens when you’re empowered, supported, and trusted.

Perks beyond the work

The environment and culture we nurture are as crucial as the work we create. Whether it’s your first day or your 5th year, you’ll feel empowered to contribute and drive positive change.

Additional benefits include:

• Birthday leave. Take a day to celebrate with friends and family.
• Salary sacrifice scheme. Access valuable discounts to get that car you've always wanted.
• Yearly bonus incentives. Get recognised and rewarded for your hard work with our bonus incentive program.
• Personalised professional development. Achieve your career aspirations with growth plans and ongoing training options tailored to you.
• Flexible & hybrid working options. We focus on productive collaboration and pride ourselves on offering remote and hybrid options to suit all lifestyles.
• Employee assistance program. We believe mental wellness is integral to a sustainable career and provide all employees with free and confidential assistance services.
• The ideal St Georges Terrace location is in our newly outfitted offices. With the CBD on your doorstep, coffee, cuisine, concerts, and culture await you.
• Temporarily work from anywhere in the World for up to four weeks a year to be closer to family and loved ones or to experience a new culture.
• Flexible public holiday options. We offer the ability to swap two public holidays annually for alternative cultural celebrations of value to individual employees.
