Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis has an immediate opening for a strategic, high-energy Senior Account Executive to join our Entertainment team with a specific focus on Music. You’ve been in the trenches for about 4–5 years and are looking for your next challenge. You live and breathe music, stay deeply plugged into current culture, and bring a solid bench of relationships across the music, media, and cultural landscape. With a deep background in media relations, you have a clear understanding of how to maneuver a modern artist’s narrative.

The Role
Artist Narrative Lead: Supporting the development of 360-degree communications strategies. You know how to architect a story that begins with a single drop and sustains through a project’s lifecycle, from late-night debuts to festival stages.

Media & Event Excellence: Plan and lead media-specific moments, including listening parties, press junkets, and red carpets. You own the ground game: developing invite lists, managing RSVPs, wrangling media on-site, and distributing post-event results.
Content Command: Produce sophisticated, client-ready materials including artist bios, press releases, creative pitches, and briefing notes. You are a fast, persuasive writer.
