About this role

Join an agency awarded for its culture and work with innovative brands shaping the future!


Sling & Stone is the public relations agency built for entrepreneurs, challengers and disruptors. We partner with both established brands and startups, including Krispy Kreme, LUSH Cosmetics, Tracksuit, Google Cloud and many more. We’re recognised for our people-first culture and have won multiple best place to work awards.


Globally, we’re a team of 80+ Slingers across Australia, United States, Singapore and New Zealand.


We’re now searching for an Account Coordinator or Account Executive to join our Auckland team, who is curious about working with innovative business and consumer brands that are shaping the future and ready to fast-track their PR career! This is your opportunity to work with brands pushing boundaries and solving real-world problems for businesses and beyond. 


The role you’ll play


As an Account Coordinator or Account Executive, you are the executional driving force behind every one of your campaigns. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves to help move priority tasks — from storytelling, to pitching, capturing content for social channels, drafting content calendars, being on top of media & social insights and trends, to reporting and research. You’re a go-getter who’s curious and informed about what’s happening in the channels that matter most to your clients and the audiences they’re trying to reach, and you're constantly sharing this intel with your teams to help secure relevant opportunities.


To be successful in this role you will need to:



  • 1+ years PR or social & content experience, preferably at an agency but not a must

  • Understanding of social media channels and trends from TikTok to LinkedIn

  • Knowledge of local media landscape as well as content creators 

  • A love of storytelling with writing skills to match

  • Able to prioritise your workload, meet deadlines and ensure your client teams and campaigns never skip a beat

  • We’re deliberate about which brands we work with, and say no to those who don’t fit our focus on clients shaping the future 

  • While we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we do take our work very seriously. We’re proud of what we do. Our team is filled with smart, skilled communicators who share and live these core values: Gumption, Build, Play, Tune in

  • We give all Slingers the opportunity to do the most impactful work of their careers here, giving them the training, skills and support to develop new passions, services and client portfolios, with the support of a dedicated manager

  • We offer 20 days annual leave per year, 10 days wellness leave per year, which can be taken for physical or mental wellbeing, as well as Christmas to New Year’s Day off in addition to your leave allowance

  • Every Slinger also has access to an additional 2 days per calendar year to use as they wish and 2 additional days to volunteer their time to a charity

  • We’re supportive of parents and believe in inclusivity regardless of whether you’re considered the primary and secondary carer: we offer up to 12 weeks Paid Parental Leave for anyone, and in the unfortunate circumstance of baby loss, up to 8 weeks Paid Compassionate Pregnancy Loss Leave

  • We enjoy Meeting Free Fridays so everyone gets a full day of uninterrupted focus time.

  • With offices in Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Los Angeles and New York as well as many sister agencies across the VCCP group, there are opportunities to extend your holiday or stay in a location and work from another Sling & Stone or VCCP office with prior sign-off.
