Senior Account Director, Tech & Start Up PR

Company: Sunshine Sachs
Location: Austin
Posted on: March 18, 2023

Job Description:

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 Director. This role will work across high profile technology brands and exciting startups, leading a dynamic mix of corporate reputation efforts, consumer brand campaigns, executive thought leadership programs, and more. -

It's yours if you're passionate about building the next great Fortune 500 company and remain calm under pressure. You have an extensive media network and excel at managing client account teams. You're the type of person who can read a room well, you know when you command and own it, and you also know when you take a step back. You're also passionate about the industry -- you probably have TechCrunch, WIRED, and Forbes bookmarked on your browser.

Our candidate is curious, with excellent writing skills. We're looking for someone who can learn quickly and touch a variety of clients - -- from high growth startups to established brands to VC firms. Our clients span hardware, creativity, gaming, virtual reality, fintech, heathtech, and more, so the opportunity is endless.

As a member of our senior leadership team, our Senior Account Directors counsel the client, provide fresh ideas, motivate the team, ensure goals are being met, and generate results through pitching.

We're looking for an entrepreneurial spirit who is excited about contributing to our growing technology practice, eager to mentor a team, and ready to lead integrated communications accounts.
