The Role
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 a Senior Account Executive on the Corporate Entertainment aspect of our Film/Television/Streaming team. What does this mean? You’ve been doing this for a bit (about 4 years or so) and are looking for your next challenge and opportunity. This is a role for someone who has a strong background in media relations, great press contacts and a clear understanding of how to maneuver the many facets of a film or television release. This is a role for someone who has a specific interest in the business of entertainment and experience with production companies, studios and media companies, and start-ups. You have Deadline, Variety, and Los Angeles Times bookmarked on your browser. If you know your way around a casting announcement, hustling for executives, setting up meetings for producers, or announcing company news, you're it for us!

We are looking for someone who loves the business of show business and enjoys being on the town/at a festival with their clients. To note, while there may be some work on specific shows/films, this position is more focused on clients in the following areas of the business: Production companies, studios/networks/streaming platforms, gaming companies, management agencies, high level studio executives, creatives and filmmakers.

Responsibilities Include

  • Drafting, developing, and executing comprehensive communications strategies.
  • Conducting regular and thorough research on various topics, flagging relevant news updates for teams/clients.
  • Drafting, editing and proofreading materials including press releases, blog content, pitches, fact sheets, FAQs, briefing notes, and client correspondence.
  • Partnering with senior managers on achieving deliverables for a full roster of clients (average of 4-6+).
  • Developing an impactful and trusting relationship with clients
  • Managing media contact lists to build relationships with new publications and media contacts.
  • Participating in new business meetings, creating proposals as needed.
  • Regularly bringing new opportunities for clients – media meetings, key introductions, etc.
  • Proactively mentoring and teaching junior team members on account teams
  • Working with senior management to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.
  • Networking with journalists, agents and mangers 

You Should Apply If

  • You have at least 4 years of public relations experience, with a focus on film and television
  • You are a strong writer – persuasive, concise, creative, and quick!
  • You have a growing list of relationships with entertainment media and know how to leverage those relationships to secure impactful media opportunities.
  • You are a strategic thinker, bring new ideas to the table, and love a good brainstorm.
  • 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 enjoy overdelivering rather than meeting expectations and take genuine pride in being part of something good.

Benefits x Perks
We go well beyond the benefits that you’re looking for like medical, dental, and vision plans, 401(k) with matching, annual merit-based bonuses, PTO, fertility, FSA for medical, childcare, and commuter expenses. Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis offers those benefits and many perks including, a flexible work schedule, Work from Anywhere program, Summer Fridays, Wellness Days, and a 4-week sabbatical or trip to celebrate select anniversaries. We love to socialize so, we have collaborative workspaces, some offices even have rooftops, celebrations, networking opportunities, and community volunteering. We frequently mark opportunities to listen, learn and act throughout the year (Juneteenth, Election Day, International Women’s Day, etc.).
 
SSM&L is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and ability. We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, identity and expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
 
There’s more!
From day one, employees are carefully matched with a mentor to guide them on their path to success. Training and mentoring are a big deal here and since we are into promoting from within, we make sure to provide more than enough tools for you to learn and grow. We are proud to offer training throughout the year on topics for professional growth as well as personal growth. We have also developed a series of teaching workshops that are structured for each level of the company.
