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.

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:

Leadership

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.)
