Job Descrption

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 an Senior Account Executive in our London Office. What does this mean? You’ve been doing this for a bit (about 5 years or so) and are looking for your next challenge and opportunity. This is a role for someone who has an interest in working across multiple sectors. We love generalists –someone curious, entrepreneurial, and eager to learn. Someone who wants to try everything and knows that contacts and experience across industries only make us more creative and effective. Do you want to work with a beauty brand? On a film premiere? An advocacy campaign? A legacy tech company or start-up? A new media venture? Then we’re the place for you.

• 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 mentor and teach junior team members on account teams (really important for us)
• Working with senior management to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.

You Should Apply If:

• You have 4+ years of experience in communications, politics, public relations, integrated media relations, etc.
• You are eager and understand all aspects of integrated communications (media relations, social media, creative, brand integration, talent integration)
• You are a strong writer – persuasive, concise, creative, and quick!
• You have a growing list of relationships with media across a variety of verticals and know how to leverage those relationships to secure impactful media opportunities.

• You have strong decision-making abilities and accountability; this is an important role, own it!
• You have great judgment and can make "the call" as needed.
• You have an innate curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit…have a suggestion on making something better? We encourage you to do it!
• You are incredibly organized, detail oriented and able to excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously.
