Job description

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 curious, high-energy Assistant to join our Social Media & Content Design team. This role is the essential foundation of our creative and digital strategy work. We are looking for someone who has a clear understanding of social platforms and, most importantly, a genuine love for this work.

As an Assistant, you will work across a wide range of interests—from consumer and events to social good and tech. We teach our Assistants the skills they need to become the next generation of partnership experts; in return, we expect you to bring an entrepreneurial spirit, emotional maturity, and a commitment to excellence from Day 1.

The Role:

Social Strategy & Trends: Monitor social media platforms to identify emerging trends, viral moments, and industry updates to help inform content strategy and brainstorming sessions.

Asset Management: Organize and maintain libraries of creative assets, including photos, videos, and graphics, ensuring easy access for the team.

Reporting & Analytics: Assist in tracking and compiling social media performance metrics to evaluate campaign success and provide actionable insights.

Operational Support: Help manage social media editorial calendars, project timelines, and administrative tasks for the social media team.

Community Management: Assist in monitoring social channels, flagging community engagement opportunities, and supporting timely responses to audience interactions.

Content Creation: Assist in developing, designing, and drafting engaging social media content across platforms, ensuring alignment with brand guidelines and campaign objectives.

Who You Are:

Creative Portfolio: You have a portfolio or demonstrated experience in social media content creation, basic graphic design (e.g.,, Adobe Creative Suite,Canva), and copywriting.

Culturally Wired: You have a pulse on social media culture, platform-specific best practices, and a creative eye for visual storytelling.

The Multitasker: You have the ability to multitask effectively between high-level creative brainstorming and meticulous administrative tracking.
