Job description
About the company
Goldilocks is a tailored partner for connected strategy, creative, and media work for Westpac. Rather than operating like a conventional agency, the team works through a partnership-led approach aimed at finding the right solution for the client, the team, and the moment.
The culture values how people think more than their job title. Collaboration is central to the model, with the team working closely with clients as one unit to define challenges, identify opportunities, and build solutions together.
About the role
This position is for a senior Media Account Director who can own the client relationship across media and connect strategy, creativity, digital expertise, and commercial judgment to create measurable business value.
You will serve as a senior trusted advisor to the client and a steady anchor for the internal team, helping ensure the work stays sharp, the thinking remains forward-looking, and the partnership continues to strengthen.
Key focus areas
- Lead media relationships with clients in an agency or consulting setting.
- Bring together strategic thinking, creativity, digital capability, and commercial awareness.
- Stay close to execution and performance while still steering at a strategic level.
- Present ideas clearly and influence senior stakeholders with confidence.
- Understand how media spend connects to wider business results.
- Support and develop team members through practical leadership.
- Work with curiosity, pragmatism, and a low-ego, collaborative style.
What this role is not
- A media planning role separated from creative and strategic work.
- A workplace dominated by heavy process or unnecessary reporting.
- A revolving set of clients with little continuity.
What you can expect
- An integrated model where creative and media work are tightly connected.
- Real influence for media thinking within the client relationship.
- A small, experienced team that values ambition, curiosity, and follow-through.
- An opportunity to help shape significant work over time.
