Account Manager, Consumer Tech & Brand

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is looking for a smart, scrappy, and tech-obsessed Account Manager to join our Consumer Technology team. Based in Los Angeles, this role is designed for a PR professional with 5-6 years of experience who lives for the rabbit hole of The Verge, WIRED, and Fast Company, but also understands the cultural influence of Hypebeast and Refinery29.

You are a self-starter who can manage the day-to-day for high-growth startups and established brands independently, while partnering with senior leadership to scale strategy for our larger global clients. Whether you’re launching a new wearable, navigating a fintech rollout, or executing a gaming event, you are cool under pressure and meticulously organized.

The Role:

• Account Stewardship: Serve as the primary daily contact for a roster of consumer tech and lifestyle clients, ensuring projects move from concept to completion and that internal teams stay motivated and on-task.

• Integrated Consumer Strategy: Execute 360-degree communications strategies that bridge traditional tech reviews, lifestyle feature stories, and creator-led social content.

• Content Excellence: Craft sharp, persuasive materials-from press releases and product launch kits to social-first pitches and executive briefing notes.

• The Nuanced Leader: You possess exceptional situational awareness. You have the executive presence to command a meeting, but the humility and judgment to take a step back and support your team or client when necessary.

• Mentorship & Growth: Proactively mentor and teach junior team members ) the inner workings of tech PR. We believe in building careers, and your leadership is vital to our team’s success.

Who You Are:

• The Tech-Lifestyle Hybrid: 5-6 years of experience in PR/Communications, with a specific focus on consumer hardware, apps and gaming. You have a genuine opinion on why certain products go viral.

• An Integrated Thinker: You’re plugged into real-time conversation on platforms like X and quick to connect the dots between what’s trending and what it means for a client’s business.

• A Proven Lead: At least 1 year of experience managing client teams with direct oversight. You are ready to project-manage complex accounts and deliver high-quality results.

• The Generalist Mindset: You are curious by nature and eager to work on a variety of clients across different verticals..

• An Exceptional Communicator: You are a fast, persuasive writer and a verbal communicator who can build deep trust with clients and media alike.
