Account Executive, Talent & Influencer Integration

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is proud to represent clients across many industries including entertainment, social good, tech and lifestyle and we tell their stories through a variety of mediums. We know that even during the toughest times, our responsibility to our clients and each other can bring meaningful and long-lasting impact for those affected the most. We’re proud of each and every campaign we execute, but you may be wondering why we don’t have more than a landing page as our website. While many of our clients are household names (you know them, we’re sure of it), our digital footprint is purposefully small. We fly under the radar and we like it that way.

If you are fired up and ready to do good, join us! 

We have an immediate opening for an Account Executive on our Talent & Influencer Integration Team. The ideal person for this role is someone who can develop trusting relationships quickly.

You have a creative and inventive voice and an opinion that matters (and you’re not afraid to voice it). “You have a pulse on the latest talent and influencer trends” – everyone says this but it’s true. You consider yourself an expert in both social media and on all the current talent/influencers out there.

• Communicating effectively with senior staff on status of requested tasks and projects.
• Assisting in planning and executing talent/influencer-focused events including influencer events
• Working with senior managers to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.

• You are a strong writer – persuasive, concise, creative, and quick!

• You have an innate curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit.
• You are incredibly organized, detail oriented and able to excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• You’re willing to work select evenings/weekends and travel when necessary.
