Account Director

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is a leading global communications agency built to navigate the complexities of a hyper-connected world. We represent the icons and innovators shaping culture—from global heritage corporations and high-growth tech startups to the non-profits, creative legends, and visionary founders who define the global discourse.

 

Our expertise spans the full cultural spectrum. We operate at the intersection of entertainment, social impact, corporate reputation, and consumer lifestyle, executing seamlessly across traditional media, social-first outlets, brand partnerships, and influencer ecosystems. Whether we are navigating complex crisis management, elevating advocacy campaigns, or launching global consumer brands, we are storytellers at our core.

 

You may notice our digital presence is purposefully understated. While our clients are global household names, we believe the best work happens when the spotlight stays firmly on those we represent. We fly under the radar by design - preferring to let our campaigns, and our results, speak for themselves.

 

If you're driven, intentional, and ready to do good, we're ready for you!

 

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis has an immediate opening for a strategic, high-velocity Account Director in our Atlanta office. We are seeking a modern storyteller who thrives on the generalist mentality—someone who is just as comfortable leading a high-growth tech account as they are a consumer launch, a large-scale event, or a social good campaign. You have been in the industry for at least 8 years and are looking for a challenge that rewards your entrepreneurial spirit and your ability to be a jack-of-all-trades.

 

This is a role for a go-getter and a doer with an elite blend of EQ and IQ. You possess the natural gravitas to lead communications and marketing strategies for a diverse roster, counseling clients through the full spectrum of their public-facing persona—including brand partnerships, social media ecosystems, and talent integration. You are cool under pressure, deeply curious about every industry you touch, and excited by the opportunity to grow your skills in an environment where no two days are the same.

We go well beyond the benefits that you’re looking for like medical, dental, and vision plans, 401(k) with matching, annual merit-based bonuses, PTO, fertility, FSA for medical, childcare, and commuter expenses. Eligible employees at Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis may access these benefits, along with many additional perks including, a flexible work schedule, Work from Anywhere program, Summer Fridays, Wellness Days, and a 4-week sabbatical or trip to celebrate select anniversaries. We love to socialize so, we have collaborative workspaces, some offices even have rooftops, celebrations, networking opportunities, and community volunteering. We frequently mark opportunities to listen, learn and act throughout the year (Juneteenth, Election Day, International Women’s Day, etc.).

SSM&L is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and ability. We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, identity and expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

 

From day one, employees are carefully matched with a mentor to guide them on their path to success. Training and mentoring are a big deal here and since we are into promoting from within, we make sure to provide more than enough tools for you to learn and grow.
