Property Creative Agency Senior Account Director

Project Account Director - Brandform
Melbourne | Full-time | Senior Leadership RoleReporting to: Head of Project Delivery & Operations
About the Company Brandform is part of Frontier Enterprises, an independent creative and technology group specialising in the high-end off-the-plan property development sector.Our group brings together two complementary creative businesses:Brandform — brand strategy, project naming, identity, campaigns, design and digital.Blank Canvas — high-end architectural CGI, animation, film and immersive/VR experiences.Together, we work with developers, architects and project teams to take premium residential developments from their earliest strategic and creative thinking through to market — encompassing naming, brand identity, campaign, collateral, digital, CGI, film, VR and physical sales environments.Our portfolio spans interstate and international client relationships, with a particular focus on premium and luxury off-the-plan residential development.
The RoleWe’re looking for an experienced Project Director to join our Melbourne team and take senior responsibility for the delivery of major creative projects and client relationships.Reporting to the Head of Project Delivery & Operations, you’ll oversee projects through every stage of the creative process — from initial strategy and project naming through identity development, campaign creative, collateral and digital, to websites, CGI, film, immersive/VR experiences and display suite fitouts.It’s a genuinely integrated role. You’ll bring together clients, creatives, designers, digital specialists, CGI artists, technologists, suppliers and project teams to ensure the original creative idea is carried consistently from concept through to execution.You’ll be accountable for keeping that entire process moving — managing the client, brief, program, scope, budget, resources, approvals and deliverables, while protecting the quality of the creative work.For an accomplished Account Director or Senior Account Director ready to take the next step, this is an opportunity for greater autonomy, broader creative exposure and a genuine leadership role within a growing independent group.
What You’ll DoTake end-to-end ownership of project delivery, from initial client brief and strategy through creative development, production, launch and implementation.Lead integrated property marketing programs encompassing project naming, brand strategy, identity development, campaign creative, collateral, digital, websites, CGI, film, immersive/VR experiences and display suite fitouts.Build and manage detailed project programs across multiple workstreams, dependencies, deadlines and stakeholders.Work closely with Brandform’s Creative Director and creative team throughout the creative development process, helping ensure the strength of the original idea carries through every stage of delivery.Coordinate specialist capabilities across Brandform and Blank Canvas, bringing brand, design, digital, CGI, film and immersive/VR together into a cohesive project.Own project scope, budgets, programs, timelines, variations, approvals and deliverables, ensuring work is creatively ambitious, commercially sound and delivered effectively.Lead a portfolio of interstate and international client relationships, becoming a trusted senior point of contact from initial brief through to market launch.Lead client presentations, workshops, creative reviews and key project meetings.Anticipate issues, manage competing priorities and keep clients and internal teams clear on decisions, responsibilities and next steps.Mentor and support team members, including colleagues within our Melbourne studio and direct reports interstate.Support Frontier’s growth strategy across Melbourne, Sydney and South East Queensland, developing new relationships, identifying opportunities within existing accounts and contributing to pitches and new business.Travel as required, with opportunities to work across Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, alongside our international client portfolio.
About YouYou’re likely an established Account Director, Senior Account Director or Project Director from a creative, branding or integrated agency environment.You’ll bring strong client leadership, creative judgement and commercial confidence, together with a proven ability to get complex, multi-stage creative work delivered.You’re comfortable moving between a senior client presentation, creative review, project program and commercial conversation — and know how to bring different disciplines and personalities together without losing sight of the original creative idea.You’ll ideally bring:Strong experience leading significant creative accounts and complex, multi-stage projects.An excellent understanding of the creative development and production process.Strong project management skills across programs, budgets, scopes, resourcing and delivery.Confidence working with senior clients and presenting strategic and creative work.The ability to coordinate multiple creative and production disciplines simultaneously.Experience mentoring and developing team members.Strong commercial judgement and an interest in contributing to business growth.A genuine passion for property, with experience in property, development or the high-end off-the-plan sector highly regarded.Experience in CGI, 3D or immersive/VR is not required. Understanding how to lead clients, people and creative projects is.
How We WorkFrontier is a collaborative and ambitious business that cares deeply about the quality of our work and the people we work with. We value ownership, curiosity and continuous growth, and encourage people to contribute ideas, embrace new technology and work across disciplines to create exceptional outcomes.
Why Join Us?This isn’t a traditional agency Project Director role.One project might begin with naming a new development, progress through strategy and brand identity, campaign, collateral and digital, and ultimately extend into CGI, film, immersive technology and the physical display suite where that project goes to market.You’ll have the opportunity to oversee that entire creative journey, working across disciplines that would typically be spread across several different agencies and production partners.Based with our Melbourne team, you’ll work with colleagues and specialist teams across Australia, while managing a portfolio of interstate and international client relationships.It’s an opportunity to take on a genuine senior leadership role — owning delivery, building client relationships, mentoring people and contributing to the continued growth of Brandform and Frontier.
