Account Manager

About the role

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is a leading global communications agency that represents icons and innovators shaping culture, from heritage corporations and high‑growth tech startups to non‑profits, creative legends, and visionary founders. The agency operates at the intersection of entertainment, social impact, corporate reputation, and consumer lifestyle, executing across traditional media, social‑first outlets, brand partnerships, and influencer ecosystems. It is seeking a strategic, high‑energy Account Manager for its New York City office to work with 4–6 clients, develop integrated communications plans, manage accounts, produce client‑ready materials, support events, mentor junior staff, contribute to new business, and drive relationship‑based storytelling.

Responsibilities

• Multidisciplinary Narrative Execution: Work across a roster of 4–6 clients. You develop and execute strategic communications plans that are platform‑agnostic, ensuring brand stories break through in traditional media, digital spaces, and cultural conversations.
• Modern Storytelling & Integration: Act as the hub for integrated communications. While you are a specialist in earned media, you understand how to navigate social media strategy and talent integration to ensure every campaign has a cohesive, 360‑degree impact.
• Account Stewardship & Leadership: Lead and project manage small‑to‑medium accounts (and portions of larger ones), serving as the client’s trusted daily point person. You ensure deliverables are met, client expectations are exceeded, and the internal team is motivated.
• Content Command: Produce sophisticated, client‑ready materials—from persuasive pitches and press releases to executive talking points and briefing notes. You are a fast, sharp writer who knows how to frame a story for various audiences.
• Event & Experience Support: Plan and execute media‑specific events, including press conferences and influencer activations. You own the ground game: managing invite lists, wrangling media on‑site, and ensuring the details of an activation are handled with total precision.
