Senior Account Executive, Tech & Product PR

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 a Senior Account Executive in our San Francisco Office.  

You will work across high profile technology brands and exciting startups, supporting a dynamic mix of brand campaigns, executive thought leadership programs, and more.
