- Grow accounts with integrity: Identify opportunities to deepen partnerships, upsell and cross-sell services, while maintaining strong client relationships.
- Drive commercial performance: Oversee profitability across your portfolio, managing scopes, pricing and resourcing effectively.
- Lead new business opportunities: Shape credentials, guide proposals, and front pitches with strategic insight and creativity.
- Develop talent: Mentor and line-manage managers and executives, modelling best-in-class skills in writing, media relations, and stakeholder engagement.
- Set the standard: Uphold B Corp values and champion inclusivity, ethical communications and strong governance.

About You

- 6+ years' experience in communications (agency or in-house), with proven senior leadership.
- A third-level qualification in Communications, PR, Journalism or related discipline.
- Strong track record of strategic client counsel, new business success, and creative thinking.
- Deep understanding of media, executive profiling and narrative development.
- Skilled in budget management and commercial decision-making.
- A values-driven leader who develops people and fosters culture.

Why Join Springboard?

- Competitive salary with a bonus structure.
- Pension contribution.
- Clear career progression in a growing agency.
- Ongoing training and development.
- A purpose-led culture — as a B Corp, we put people and planet alongside profit.
