Manage a roster of 4-6 tech/startup clients, develop and execute integrated PR strategies, secure media coverage, craft content, run events and media logistics, mentor junior staff, and contribute strategic ideas to grow accounts.
Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is a leading global communications agency built to navigate the complexities of a hyper-connected world. We represent the icons and innovators shaping culture—from global heritage corporations and high-growth tech startups to the non-profits, creative legends, and visionary founders who define the global discourse.
Our expertise spans the full cultural spectrum. We operate at the intersection of entertainment, social impact, corporate reputation, and consumer lifestyle, executing seamlessly across traditional media, social-first outlets, brand partnerships, and influencer ecosystems. Whether we are navigating complex crisis management, elevating advocacy campaigns, or launching global consumer brands, we are storytellers at our core.
You may notice our digital presence is purposefully understated. While our clients are global household names, we believe the best work happens when the spotlight stays firmly on those we represent. We fly under the radar by design - preferring to let our campaigns, and our results, speak for themselves.
If you're driven, intentional, and ready to do good, we're ready for you!
Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is looking for a smart, scrappy, and tech-obsessed Account Manager. This role is built for a PR professional with 5–6 years of experience who lives in the rabbit hole of TechCrunch, WIRED, Forbes, and Fast Company. As an Account Manager, you are the daily engine of your accounts. You are a self-starter who can manage small-to-medium sized accounts independently, while partnering with senior leadership to scale strategy for our larger, global tech clients. Whether you’re navigating the B2B landscape, launching a high-growth startup, or executing an influencer-led tech campaign, you are cool under pressure and meticulously organized.
The Role:
- Account Stewardship: Serve as the primary point of contact for a roster of 4–6 clients, ensuring projects move from concept to completion and that internal teams stay motivated and on-task.
- Integrated Execution: Help develop and execute 360-degree communications strategies that span traditional B2B media relations, social-first content, and digital creator integration.
- Media Impact: Leverage your growing network of tech and business media contacts to secure needle-moving coverage. You know how to pitch a complex story and turn a technical launch into a cultural moment.
- High EQ: You possess exceptional situational awareness. You have the executive presence to command a meeting when necessary, but the humility and judgment to take a step back and empower your team or client to take the lead.
- Content Creation: Craft sharp, persuasive, and clear materials—from press releases and blog content to executive briefing notes and media pitches.
- Event & Media Logistics: Plan and execute media-specific events, including press conferences and influencer gatherings. You own the backend logistics—RSVPs, credentials, and on-site media wrangling—without skipping a beat.
- Mentorship & Growth: Proactively mentor and teach junior team members the inner workings of PR. We believe in building careers, and your leadership is vital to our team’s success.
- Strategic Brainstorming: Bring new, out-of-the-box ideas to the table unprompted. If you see a way to make a process better or a pitch sharper, we want you to own it.
Who You Are:
- The Tech Enthusiast: 5–6 years of experience in PR/Communications, with a specific focus on technology, B2B, or startups. You have a genuine opinion on the latest launch and stay ahead of industry trends.
- A Proven Leader: At least 1 year of experience managing client teams with direct oversight. You are ready to project-manage complex accounts and deliver high-quality results.
- The Generalist Mindset: You are curious by nature and eager to touch a variety of clients across hardware, gaming, fintech, healthtech, and more.
- An Exceptional Communicator: You are a fast, persuasive writer and a verbal communicator who can build deep trust with clients and media alike.
- Highly Organized & Scrappy: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and take genuine pride in over-delivering on every project.
- Flexible: Willing to work select evenings/weekends and travel to bring our clients’ biggest moments to life.
