Account Manager, VIP/Influencer at AZIONE PR

Location: New York City
About AZIONE: AZIONE is not a traditional PR agency - we operate at the intersection of culture, influence, and brand. We build relevance, not just awareness, helping brands enter culture and stay there. Our work spans PR, influencer, talent, partnerships, and experiential, engineered to drive emotional velocity and real business impact.
Job Description: We're looking for an Account Manager to support Influencer + VIP across a portfolio of fashion, lifestyle, and consumer brands. This is not a coordination role, it's a culture-driving, relationship-led, revenue-minded position.
You should be actively building your network across influencers, stylists, managers, and publicists, and developing the ability to turn those relationships into meaningful brand moments.
You understand the full spectrum of influence:
Micro ? Macro ? Mega
Organic ? Paid ? Affiliate-driven performance
Cultural relevance ? Commercial impact
You don't just follow trends, you spot them early, shape them, and plug brands into them in a way that feels earned.

Talent managers, agents + publicists
Celebrity stylists + glam teams
Support consistent celebrity dressing moments, placements, and cultural visibility

Manage securing celebrity sightings and moments that extend into media + social
Execution Excellence
Manage end-to-end execution of influencer + talent campaigns:
Talent sourcing + vetting
Negotiation + contracting
Content direction + approvals
Reporting + performance optimization
Manage seeding programs that actually land, not just send product
Concept standout mailers and moments that cut through feeds and group chats
Ensure all programs ladder back to clear KPIs (reach, engagement, conversion, affiliate performance)
Affiliate and Performance Integration
Working knowledge of affiliate ecosystems (ShopMy, LTK, Impact, etc.)
Ability to manage programs that bridge brand and performance
Support clients on commission structures, tracking, and optimization
Identify influencers who drive not just content, but commerce
Networking + Relationship Building
Maintain and continuously grow a high-value, highly responsive network across:
Influencers (all tiers)
Celebrity + VIP
Stylists
Managers, agents, publicists
Be known as someone who gets things done quickly and well
Leadership
Lead, mentor, and elevate junior team members across influencer + VIP
Set the bar for taste, speed, and execution
Foster a team culture that is proactive, plugged-in, and solutions-oriented
What Makes You Stand Out
4-5 years of experience across influencer, VIP, talent, or fashion PR
Hands-on experience supporting campaigns across micro ? macro ? mega influencers
Direct experience working within fashion ecosystems, including celebrity dressing, stylist relations, and securing high-visibility placements (editorial, street style, events, paparazzi moments)
Established and growing relationships with celebrity stylists, talent teams, agents, publicists and fashion industry gatekeepers
Understanding of how to translate product into culture-driving moments through talent + styling
Experience across organic, paid, and affiliate-driven programs (ShopMy, LTK, etc.)
