Senior Leader (Client Lead) — Dublin

150Bond | Full-time | Hybrid

150Bond provides strategic communications counsel to C-level executives at high-growth tech startups, top-tier VCs, and Fortune 500s — across AI, fintech, energy and infrastructure, sustainability, web3, venture, and B2B enterprise. 

We're a small team by design: you'll report directly to the managing partners.

The role

You'll run point on a large, high-visibility client account with minimal supervision — owning day-to-day client management, shaping proactive media and storytelling opportunities, and writing to a standard sharp enough to go in front of investors, policymakers, or top-tier press without heavy editing. You'll also play a role in growing the firm: identifying and pursuing new business alongside the managing partners.

Must-haves

• 8-10 years minimum of progressive experience in communications, having occupied a role from Director, VP upwards.
• Senior, largely autonomous account management on a large, complex client, with the judgment to triage, delegate, and keep several workstreams moving without dropping anything
• A fascination with media and storytelling
• An established network of top-tier and trade reporter relationships
• Elite writing and editorial judgment: able to write or tighten briefing notes, analysis, and reports to a standard that can go straight to investors, press, or policy contacts
• Very close attention to detail — non-negotiable
• Gravitas and stakeholder command, with the ability to guide thinking and shape outcomes across multiple stakeholders rather than just execute on instruction
• Fluency in the account's world (the AI landscape, or investor and policy perspectives) so you can spot and shape proactive opportunities, not just react to them
• Communications planning expertise: the ability to sign off on a smart, detailed, creative comms plan before it goes to a client
• Excellent team management and motivation skills: the ability to motivate your team, while keeping work to an extremely high standard. 

Nice-to-haves

• Experience handling tricky or sensitive media queries
• Sector-specific relationships, whether AI reporters and influencers or energy and infrastructure reporters
• A strong grasp of new and social media dynamics
• Product comms experience 

What good looks like in the first 90 days

Clients respect and trust you. Full ownership of client management with nothing dropped across several fast-moving workstreams at once, plus proactively project-managing at least one major announcement or media moment rather than just keeping the trains running.
