Careers

Love making great creative happen?

At Onfire, we believe great brands are built through strong relationships, smart thinking and a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

We're looking for a Senior Account Manager who thrives on bringing all of those things together.

This isn't your typical agency account management role.

Yes, you’ll lead exciting client projects across branding, packaging, campaigns, digital and print. You'll be the trusted partner our clients rely on, keeping projects moving, teams aligned and ideas turning into exceptional work.

But you'll also help shape Onfire itself.

We see our own agency as one of our most important clients, so part of your role will be leading our internal marketing, communications and events—helping tell our story, celebrate our work and create memorable experiences for both our clients and our team.

If you love variety, you'll love this role.

What you'll be doing

Leading client relationships

• Building trusted partnerships with a diverse portfolio of clients.
• Understanding client businesses and identifying opportunities to add value.
• Presenting work with confidence and guiding projects from brief to delivery.

Project management

• Scoping projects and preparing estimates.
• Managing timelines, budgets and resources.
• Briefing our creative team and keeping projects moving efficiently.
• Ensuring every project is delivered on time, on budget and to the highest standard.

Championing the Onfire brand

• Treating Onfire as one of your key clients.
• Coordinating our LinkedIn, website updates and marketing activity.
• Organising client events, launches and studio initiatives.
• Helping prepare award entries, credentials and agency presentations.
• Supporting internal communications and contributing to our culture.

Supporting our creative leaders

• Working closely with our Directors to keep priorities on track.
• Coordinating meetings, presentations and key deliverables.
• Helping create space for our creatives to do what they do best.

About you

You're someone who genuinely enjoys making things happen.
You love bringing order to complexity, building lasting client relationships and being the person everyone trusts to keep things moving.

You'll likely have:

• 5+ years experience in an agency Account Management or Project Management role.
• Experience across brand, packaging, campaigns or communications.
• Outstanding organisational and project management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Confidence managing multiple projects at once.
• A proactive mindset and a calm approach under pressure.
• A natural ability to build relationships with clients and creative teams alike.

Bonus points if you've worked with FMCG, retail or packaging brands.

What makes this role different?

You'll work across an incredible variety of brands and projects while also having the opportunity to shape the future of Onfire itself.
One day you might be launching a new product, the next coordinating a client event, presenting creative work, updating our own marketing or helping bring a new business pitch to life.

No two weeks look the same, and that's exactly how we like it.

Why Onfire?

We're an independent creative agency passionate about building brands, products and services that matter.
Our team is collaborative, down-to-earth and genuinely enjoys what we do. We care deeply about producing outstanding work, looking after our clients and creating an environment where great people can do their best work.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real impact, not only on the brands we work with, but on the future of the agency itself, we'd love to hear from you.
