Junior Account Executive, Talent & Influencer

Sunshine Sachs
New York, NY, USA Influencer Collab
Compensation: $39,200 to $48,100 Annually

We have an immediate opening for a Junior Account Executive based out of our New York office on our Talent & Influencer Integration Team. The ideal person for this role is someone who can develop trusting relationships quickly. You have a creative and inventive voice and an opinion that matters (and you’re not afraid to voice it). “You have a pulse on the latest talent and influencer trends” – (everyone says this but it’s true). You consider yourself an expert in both social media and on all the current talent/influencers out there.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Willingness and an interest to soak it all in; learn the ins and outs of integrated communications (talent/influencer integration, media relations, social media, creative and brand integration).
  • Assisting in developing and executing comprehensive communications strategies.
  • Drafting, editing and proofreading talent/influencer materials including travel itineraries, creative briefs, client materials, memos, agendas, blog content, pitches, fact sheets, FAQs, briefing notes, and client correspondence.
  • Scheduling and providing logistical support for client meetings.
  • Supporting senior managers in achieving deliverables for a full roster of clients (average of 4 – 6).
  • Monitoring news cycles and flagging latest “pop culture moments”, competitor news, for clients.
  • Creating and maintaining lists! Lots of lists: talent/influencer contact lists (to build relationships with new representatives and contacts), well-researched talent recommendation lists, status documents and others.
  • Communicating effectively with senior staff on status of requested tasks and projects.
  • Assisting in planning and executing talent/influencer-focused events including influencer events
  • Working with senior management to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.
  • Support administration of accounts including developing agendas, meeting recaps, activity reports, client status reports, budget trackers, etc.

You should apply if:

  • You have 2+ years of experience in this industry (communications, entertainment, politics, public relations, etc.) If you don’t, we’re open to hearing you out.
  • You are eager and open to learning all aspects of integrated communications (media relations, social media, creative, brand integration, talent integration)
  • You are a strong writer – persuasive, concise, creative, and quick! (Also, must support the oxford comma.)
  • Your research skills are ones to beat.
  • You are eager to network and build connections in the entertainment industry – the natural charmer you are can become best buds with ANYONE!
  • You are a strategic thinker, bring new ideas to the table, and love a good brainstorm.
  • You have strong decision-making abilities and accountability; this is an important role, own it!
  • You have an innate curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit…have a suggestion on making something better? We encourage you to do it!
  • You are incredibly organized, detailoriented (see what I did there?), and able to excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • You’re willing to work select evenings/weekends and travel when necessary – our clients often need us to GO, GO, GO!
  • You enjoy overdelivering rather than meeting expectations and take genuine pride in being part of something good.
  • You make friends wherever you go. I mean, your co-workers are basically your roommates…don’t be uncool 😉

You don’t HAVE to have this, but it sure would be nice:

  • Previous experience working with teams in multiple locations (New York, DC, Austin, etc.)
  • Experience work with a project manager on an integrated communications teams (assisting with talent integration, media relations, social media, creative, brand integration)
  • Interests beyond influencer – we never like to stay in our lanes here and particularly like to combine entertainment and social good.
  • Previous experience using talent/influencer research tools like Celebrity Intelligence, IMDb Pro, HYPR.
