Looking for something refreshing and new?
Come and join an agency for the ambitious.

Praytell is a global creative communications agency built by big ideas and brilliant people. We create timely, integrated, headline-worthy campaigns across earned, social, digital, and more. We were born in Brooklyn, New York 10 years ago and have been cooking up award-winning work ever since. Here in Australia, we’re just warming up. 

Globally, we’re a team of 150+ creatives, creators, storytellers, and strategists working from across the U.S., U.K., and Australia. 

Here in Australia, we’re on the hunt for a senior PR and comms leader seeking a flexible and adaptable agency leadership role, to help accelerate the growth ambitions of our multi-disciplinary team as an initial maternity leave cover, with plenty of flex and long-term opportunity. 

The Gig 

We’re looking for a senior leader with a proven track record growing an agency or integrated comms department, who is energised by the opportunity to accelerate our agency’s growth trajectory in Australia. Collaborating closely with senior team members and global leaders, you’ll lead agency and new business development, provide strategic leadership to our partners, champion culture, and mentor our growing team. 

As a talented, ambitious, and empathetic leader, you’re focused on doing great work with great people and may be looking to step back into agency land in a flexible and part-time capacity. 

We’re eager to work with the right person to shape the role and flexible working arrangements, but are envisioning a three-day working week equivalent with dedicated focus areas of new business, strategic client leadership, and team mentorship. 

You will: 

• Be laser-focused on the growth and development of our blossoming and multi-disciplinary creative comms team, including proactive new business and network development. 
• Offer strategic creative comms leadership for select partners in our client portfolio, which includes global travel and tourism, lifestyle and wellness, retail, telco, and not-for-profit brands and organisations. 
• Lead or support new business and client presentations, working alongside our team to build and review strategic deliverables and provide senior counsel in key presentations and meetings.
• Work closely with our senior team and global leaders in pursuit of excellence across the agency, championing culture and L&D for our hard-working crew. 

Sound Interesting? 

We’re (very) intentionally offering what we hope is a more adaptable and flexible leadership role, in the hopes of attracting energised leaders looking to apply their talent and experience in a different way. If this sounds like you, and you have the track record to boot – reach out, let’s talk. 

Ideally, you have: 

• Senior agency leadership experience, ideally in an emerging to mid-size agency setting
• A strong industry network readily engaged for new business opportunities, partnerships and recruitment
• A modern, energised, and inspiring leadership style 
• An excellent sense of humour 
• Appetite to roll up your sleeves and make magic happen alongside a tight-knit and dedicated team

The Praytell Advantage

Why join Praytell Australia? 

• We’re a global agency that’s just warming up in Australia. We work under one global P&L – which means access to world-class thinking, tech and tools, global insights, and networking, along with the mandate and ambition to build something uniquely Australian (and awesome) championed by our growing local team. 
• Creative isn’t just a department here. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the way we work, challenge the status quo, and leave the industry a little better than we found it. That culminates in our global DEI initiatives, including our inaugural Praytell Intownships program here in Australia.  
• We work hard to foster a thoroughly flexible working environment which culminates in our “40 by Friday” work week (ask us about this, and we’ll happily share more!)
• We believe you do your best work where works for you, so we operate a hybrid schedule, splitting our time across our Cremorne, Melbourne office and chosen ‘work from home’ locations. 
• With offices across the U.S., U.K., and Australia, as well as many sister agencies across our Project Worldwide network, there are opportunities for global collaboration and immersion – including our personal favourite, Camp Praytell (this year, we headed to Nashville, Tennessee for our company offsite). 
• We have a flexible time off policy which includes 20 days annual leave per year, in addition to Christmas to New Year’s Day as gifted holidays. 
• Parental leave benefits and flexible return to work arrangements that we’re proud of. 
• Access to our employee assistance program, which includes mental health support and counselor access for you and your family.

We also check our egos at door, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and we have fun along the way.
