The posting

Overview

What began in 2017 as an idea on the back of a napkin has quickly become an award-winning, fastest-growing communications firm working with some big-name consumer and B2B technology brands. At SourceCode, we’re focused on bringing brains and hustle, humanity and technology, creativity and business intelligence back to public relations.

We are seeking a seasoned agency professional to join our team as either an Account Director or Senior Account Director, depending on experience. In this role, you will act as a vital strategic lead, driving high-impact storytelling, counseling senior client executives, managing account profitability, and mentoring the next generation of PR talent. Whether executing deep enterprise tech campaigns or shaping agency-wide innovation, you are a bold, people-first leader who balances creative vision with disciplined commercial execution.

What You’ll Do

  • Client Strategy & Counsel: Serve as a trusted lead across high-profile accounts, providing high-level strategic direction to senior client executives. Develop long-term PR plans aligned with client business objectives and confidently navigate difficult conversations or productive client pushback when necessary.
  • Crisis & Narrative Excellence: Act as a trusted source during client crises by conducting risk assessments and drafting proactive communications. Interview executives to build robust thought leadership platforms and translate complex technical innovations into media-friendly narratives.
  • Portfolio Management & Business Operations: Take accountability for account health, revenue forecasting, and resource allocation to optimize team utilization and minimize over/under-service. Oversee client contracts, KPIs, and monthly/annual scopes of work.
  • Media & Integrated Strategy: Build sophisticated, long-term media and engagement strategies spanning media, analyst, and social landscapes. Maintain absolute editorial quality control across the portfolio and leverage a strong network of established relationships across Tier-1 national business and trade media.
  • Organic Growth: Proactively identify expansion opportunities within your current roster to drive organic business development and maintain high client retention rates.
  • Team Leadership & Talent Development: Directly manage, coach, and inspire team members, establishing clear professional goals and delivering targeted training to upskill junior and mid-level practitioners.
  • Innovation & Agency Leadership (SAD Level): Lead teams in adopting emerging PR technologies and alternative communication channels, while expanding leadership footprints into global PR management.

Requirements

What You’ll Have:

  • Senior AD experience: You're a Senior Account Director now, or you've been an Account Director long enough to run accounts without a safety net. You have 10 to 12+ years of agency communications experience.
  • Account ownership: You run an account on your own, start to finish. You own the client relationship, the strategy and the process. You turn loose direction into a real plan and lead it without waiting to be told.
  • Agency business sense: You've scoped programs and managed a P&L. You know how budgets, resourcing and team utilization shape the work.
  • Team-level project management: You know everything the team has in motion and how the pieces fit together. You keep every part moving, even on days you're not touching it yourself.
  • Technical fluency and storytelling: You dig in until you understand the client's industry and technology. You can take something complicated, make it simple and connect it to what's happening in the world.
  • People leadership: You develop your team, have the hard conversations, and work with HR on performance issues, including PIPs when they're needed.
  • Location: You're based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
  • Nice to have: Existing media relationships.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
