Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is seeking a highly motivated, culturally-obsessed Account Executive.

You are a creative thinker who thrives in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.

The Role:

  • Personal Representation & Support: Assist in executing comprehensive communications strategies for talent. You’ll manage the essential day-to-day logistics, including scheduling, coordinating glam/grooming, and providing on-site staffing support.
  • Red Carpet & Event Mastery: Support the planning and execution of press moments and events. You’ll own the backend logistics—from invitation strategy and RSVP management to wrangling media on-site and credentialing.
  • Integrated Storytelling: Work within an integrated agency model, collaborating with internal groups to ensure talent narratives are consistent across social, brand, and traditional media platforms.
  • Content & Writing Excellence: Draft, edit, and proofread high-impact materials, including press releases, pitches, briefing notes, and talent correspondence.
  • Media Relations: Maintain and expand your arsenal of go-to entertainment reporters. You know how to pitch the right story to the right person to secure meaningful coverage for your clients.
  • Trend & News Intelligence: Act as the team’s eyes and ears. Monitor news cycles and pop-culture trends to flag breaking opportunities or competitor news that impacts your talent roster.
  • Account Stewardship: Support senior managers in achieving deliverables for a roster of 4–6 clients. This includes the administrative precision required to keep accounts running: agendas, recaps, and analysis reports.
  • The Relationship Standard: You understand that we are in a people business. You lead by example in how you treat your co-workers, clients, and the media—prioritizing trust and confidentiality above all else.

Who You Are:

  • The Talent Specialist: 3–4 years of PR experience, with at least 2 years specifically focused on talent management (at a PR firm, agency, or management firm).
  • High EQ: You possess high emotional intelligence and the ability to maintain a calm, professional demeanor around high-profile talent. You have the discretion to handle sensitive information.
  • Meticulously Organized: You have a tenacious follow-through and an eagle eye for detail. You can coordinate complex projects on the backend without letting a single task slip.
  • A Resourceful Problem-Solver: You are curious, entrepreneurial, and have a nothing is impossible attitude when it comes to meeting client deadlines and needs.
  • A Strong Writer: You are fast, persuasive, and adaptable, capable of drafting everything from a formal bio to a punchy pitch.
  • Driven to Over-Deliver: You don’t just meet expectations; you constantly strive for excellence and take genuine pride in being part of a high-performing team.
