Kerja Sepenuh Masa, Senior Account Manager-Director | Integrated Communications Agency di The Shortlist. Federal Territory - Maukerja

Who's Hiring?

We're an independent PR and communications agency with over a decade of experience delivering real business results without the fluff. Now a regional player with offices across SEA, they work across PR, content, branding, and social for a portfolio spanning B2B tech, corporate, and consumer names.

The Malaysia team of around 20 is capable and delivery-strong, with a strong senior structure. What's needed now is someone who can elevate accounts strategically, not just deliver against them: senior client counsel, sharper thinking, and the ability to coach a team that's already good at execution.

They're looking for a Senior Manager or Director to join the Malaysia team on a permanent basis, stepping into a senior counsel role with real influence over how the team grows.

What you'll be doing

You'll be the person clients turn to for strategic thinking, not just delivery: elevating an account rather than simply running it, and bringing the kind of senior counsel that shapes a client relationship over the long term. Ideally you'll also bring business development capability, helping the team win as well as deliver.

You'll coach and develop an existing team that's strong on execution but needs support moving up the value chain, working across PR-led accounts with scope into broader integrated comms. B2B tech or corporate experience is a strong plus, as is a mix of agency and entrepreneurial or start-up experience.

And who are you?

You've got strong PR and corporate comms foundations, with a track record of managing strategies that genuinely move a client's business forward. You're a confident, senior client counsellor who can hold your own at the top of an organisation.

You're confident but low-ego: genuinely open to challenge and feedback, and comfortable giving it too. You've likely worked in both bigger agencies and more entrepreneurial environments, and you know how to bring the best of both to a growing team.

Business development experience would be a strong plus: this team wants someone who can help win new business, not just deliver against what's already signed.
