The Right Now is a bi-coastal communications agency servicing brand and entertainment clients through a 360-degree communications strategy, including media relations, talent and influencer relations, social media, content creation and production, and more.
We lead with creative, thoughtful campaigns that stand out to media and consumers, focusing on next-level integration. We believe in data-driven action. The numbers are what count. We are committed to continually reevaluating best practices to produce robust and measurable results.

The Role
We are seeking a PR and communications Account Manager with a strong track record in fashion and lifestyle media relations. This is a New York City-based role, working across our fashion, lifestyle, and brand roster, with support of one Los Angeles-based client.
This role is the connective tissue across the portfolio, sitting between Brand Coordinators and the Senior Lead/Director on accounts, ensuring strategy set at the top translates into clear, well-executed work on the ground—and that coordinator output is polished before it reaches senior leads or clients.
Job Requirements
Experience & Core Requirements:
- Minimum of 4 years of PR and communications experience (in-house or agency) within the fashion, lifestyle, and brand space.
- Based in New York City (hybrid schedule), with the flexibility to coordinate across time zones to support a Los Angeles-based client.
- Strong track record of securing high-impact earned media, including feature placements, brand profiles, and product coverage across print, digital, and broadcast.
- Ensure consistent oversight, quality control, and account continuity across a portfolio primarily focused on fashion and lifestyle brands.
Team & Project Management:
- Manage, mentor, and develop Brand Coordinators across hybrid settings, guiding their storytelling and reviewing their output (media lists, pitches, decks, and reports) to ensure high-quality delivery.
- Translate comprehensive, 360-degree communications plans set by Senior Leads into actionable, day-to-day team workflows and deliverables.
- Own day-to-day operations and deadlines across accounts, including client calls, internal/external timelines, and reporting needs.
Media Relations & Execution:
- Personally lead media relations on key stories while maintaining and expanding relationships with editors, writers, and producers.
- Stay current on editorial shifts, masthead moves, and emerging platforms to build bespoke, highly targeted media lists.
- Strong experience in asset creation, including press releases, media alerts, fact sheets, and pitch narratives.
- Support event planning and execution, including guest list development, securing attendees, and providing on-site support.
Leadership & Soft Skills:
- Advanced verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to present to senior leadership, executive teams, and co-founders.
- Serve as the eyes and ears of each account, proactively flagging internal or external concerns to Senior Leads and co-founders.
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail, bringing a flexible, positive, and collaborative spirit to a fast-paced, multi-client environment.
Compensation: $85,000–$100,000 base salary, commensurate with experience.
