Who is Weber Shandwick?
At The Weber Shandwick Collective, you are welcomed, valued and empowered to grow and we believe that opportunity grows in a collective.
We create cultural value and help brands navigate the ever-changing age of earned: an age where consumers actively say no to advertising; an age where everyone is an influencer that can make or break your brand; an age where content can be turned into commercial opportunity. Our talented team builds brands by finding connection points in the real world. We energise the right mix of talent, using the right platforms and latest technology to choreograph stories that make a real and meaningful impact for some of the world’s leading brands and businesses.
We earn affection, attention, affinity and purchase by delivering value to people around the world, with deep specialisms across food & drink, travel & tourism, consumer tech, consumer health, automotive, sports sponsorship, entertainment & lifestyle and energy. We are known for:
- Developing data driven insights and strategies to drive measurable impact
- Creating impactful campaigns that tap into culture
- Creating channel and platform agnostic campaigns that grow organically
- Delivering integrated campaigns that are earned-first but deliver for paid and owned
What's happening?
We're looking for an Account Director ready to take the next step in their careers, who has experience working on integrated campaigns with influencers, talent and creators. You’ll form an integral part of the influencer team and work closely with integrated teams across a variety of clients and projects.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
