A BIT ABOUT US

Movement Strategy believes that social media is the most important marketing channel. At Movement, we lead the best brand social channels (like Netflix, Amazon, WarnerMedia, Intuit, and more) to make award-winning social-centric work that breaks through the cultural zeitgeist and drives unparalleled brand growth. Our vision is to create a future where brands add real value to every community they touch - and our employees get to be a part of creating that future. We have remote hubs in New York, Denver, and LA, and we span across the United States. ​​Our team of high-performers thrives on collaboration and innovation, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, and creativity is encouraged at every turn. We prioritize professional growth and development, offering continuous learning opportunities and a supportive atmosphere that empowers our teams to push boundaries and deliver exceptional results.

KEY FOCUS AREAS

• Problem-solving: above all, your strongest skill should be the willingness to address challenges and provide pathways to solutions. You may not readily have all the answers, but you’re the first to raise your hand and figure out how both yourself and the team can get the task complete.
• Team: you will manage multiple accounts, leading internal cross-functional teams throughout project lifecycles, including: social content, campaign development, influencer strategies, event activations, etc. You’ll be responsible for running internal team-status and always knowing where we stand with each project.
• Deliverables: you know how to dissect any project, large or small, into key phases and stages. Creating and seeing timelines through is second nature for you, and you’ll continuously look to see where the team can improve in achieving each step in a timely/realistic manner.
• Productivity: in addition to timelines, you’ll be tasked to create a scope of work and budget for your client projects and retainers. Both will require detailed collaboration with other department leads to ensure accuracy in resources and time. Once work is complete, you’ll work with the Account team to report on hours/time spent on each project.
• Client: we expect everybody at Movement Strategy to be client-facing to some extent. You’ll be expected to communicate directly with clients around budget, timelines, process & deliverables. Furthermore, you’ll need a solid understanding of the strategy behind the team’s projects and be able to defend/communicate this.

QUALIFICATIONS 

• Managing daily deliverables across multiple teams
• Creating accurate timelines for all projects
• Accurately budgeting resources/OOPs and developing staffing plans for projects and client-retainers, including written assumptions and collaboration with department leads
• Producing necessary contracts and paperwork for partner-vendors and working with finance/operations to ensure payment is processed within the proper budgets
• Providing clear and timely communications to both internal and external teams
• Receiving constructive feedback and revisions 
• Organizing and managing multiple moving projects, proactively anticipating future needs or roadblocks 
• Understanding and experience with social-digital platforms, emerging tech, influencer management, production shoots and experiential activations
• Able to identify bottlenecks and provide solutions across departments

IDEAL QUALITIES                                                       

• High energy, passionate, curious, confident, and tenacious in learning, coupled with the ability to navigate the nuances of different client teams.
• Must communicate quickly and accurately, think quickly or improvise, and present confidently.
• Should be a nimble self-starter and quickly adjust to internal and external teams in an ever-changing environment; identify opportunity with bias to action.
• You’re proactive and naturally curious about the digital and social space, constantly looking for opportunities to evolve the department and advance the work.
• You are passionate about the work you do and treat your client’s business as if it were your own.                       
• Have a track record of success in building strong relationships, leading teams, influencing others, and navigating client culture.
• You have a diverse and inclusive perspective, valuing different viewpoints and backgrounds within the team.
• You make others’ jobs easier (no matter who they are or what they do)
• You create a positive and open environment.

Movement Strategy is an Equal Opportunity Employer

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they check every single box. Movement Strategy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourages those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply. 

We believe that what we put out into the world matters. And since we were founded on the principles of paving our own path, we take bold steps toward what we believe is the right direction. This means addressing the big stuff: the systems of inequality that impact some of us far more than others. As culture creators, we firmly believe we have a responsibility to our colleagues, clients, communities, and the industry to live up to the Movement’s name. We confront inequities head-on as they come, knowing that this work is never done and that we must keep the momentum.
