Junior Account Executive, Consumer Brand

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 has an immediate opening for a high-energy, detail-obsessed Junior Account Executive in our New York office. You’ve had a solid start in the industry (about 1–2 years) and you’re ready to take the next step. You don't just consume culture—you’re obsessed with how it’s made. You understand that modern storytelling happens everywhere: in a well-placed product in a TikToker's "Get Ready With Me," a mention in a curated newsletter, or a feature in a lifestyle monthly. You have the organizational rigor to keep a team running and the creative spark to start securing your own media wins. 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. Eligible employees at Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis may access these benefits, along with many additional 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. Sunshiners also take love to take advantage of the monthly Meet the Industry series where industry thought leaders provide valuable insider info on how to work with them and their colleagues. The Role: Active Storytelling Support: Support the execution of 360-degree campaigns for a roster of consumer and lifestyle clients. You will move from list building to pitching, securing your own wins in lifestyle, digital, and trade outlets. Cultural Monitoring: Act as the team’s eyes and ears. You are responsible for daily news and social media monitoring, flagging "vibe shifts," trending creators, and competitor news that our clients need to know about now . Modern Research & List Management: Own the foundational research that fuels our strategies. You will build and maintain meticulously researched media and creator lists that reflect the actual modern landscape—not just a generic database. Content Creation: Draft the first versions of creative pitches, press materials, and social briefs. You are learning to write in a variety of "brand voices" and can produce clean, persuasive copy under tight deadlines. The "Engine" of the Account: Manage the account essentials—agendas, meeting recaps, activity reports, and sample tracking—with total precision. You ensure that senior leaders have exactly what they need to succeed. On-the-Ground Execution: Provide essential support for client events, from press previews to influencer activations. You handle the logistics—RSVPs, check-ins, and media wrangling—with a professional and solution-oriented attitude. Relationship Driven: You recognize that we are a people business. You lead by example in how you treat your co-workers, partners, and the media—prioritizing trust, integrity, and professional poise from Day 1. Who You Are: The Ambitious Generalist: You have 1–2 years of experience in PR, marketing, or communications. You’ve moved past the "learning the basics" phase and are eager to take on more ownership of client deliverables. Culturally Connected: You have a deep, intuitive understanding of the modern storytelling landscape. You know which Substack everyone is reading and which creators are actually driving consumer behavior. High EQ: You possess high EQ and situational awareness. You know when to ask a question, when to take a beat, and how to communicate effectively with senior staff and external partners. A Strong, Fast Writer: You are a concise and creative writer. You understand the difference between a traditional press release and a punchy email pitch that actually gets an editor’s attention. Incredible Organization: You have an eagle eye for detail. To you, a typo in an agenda or an outdated contact on a media list is a missed opportunity for excellence. Entrepreneurial Spirit: You are proactive. You don’t wait to be told what to do; you look for ways to be helpful and bring fresh, "out-of-the-box" ideas to every brainstorm.
