VP/SVP, Accounts

Position: Full Time

Movement Strategy is growing our Account team and looking for a seasoned leader. We're hiring at either the VP or SVP level, depending on experience and fit. If you've spent your career in social-first, culturally relevant work and know how to build first-class client teams, keep reading.

The right person for this role lives in culture, not adjacent to it. You understand how brands earn relevance on social rather than just buy it, and you've led teams through the speed and always-on nature of social: real-time response, cultural moments, creator and community-driven brand building. You bring big-picture thinking to every client conversation and drive new business at every turn.

With Newfangled Studios now part of Movement Strategy, this role owns account leadership across the combined organization. You'll own executive-level client relationships and the long-term growth of a portfolio that spans our social-first work and full range of capabilities. You'll set the vision for how we show up for clients and how our people grow.

• 18+ years managing and growing large-scale client business and global brand portfolios, primarily within a social-first or digital agency environment.
• Deep fluency in social platforms, creator and influencer ecosystems, and community-driven brand building, plus a real command of social-first measurement.
• 8+ years managing at least 4 direct reports.
• A proven track record of strong, lasting client relationships and leadership.
• A real skill for pitching and winning new business.
• Experience leading all client engagements: strategic guidance, thought leadership, integrated plans, staffing solutions, revenue forecasts, and oversight of day-to-day account operations.
• Experience leading account planning across multiple clients and industries.
• A "lead by example" approach that inspires and motivates cross-functional teams to produce outstanding work. You're someone people want to work with and learn from.
• A strategic mind at your core, backed by strong analytical and critical thinking.
• High standards and impeccable attention to detail across every deliverable.
• A finger on the pulse of the latest industry trends, breakthrough creative, and emerging technology.

• You live in culture and understand how brands stay relevant in social.
• You're energized by how AI is changing the agency model and see it as an opportunity, not a threat.
• You're steady and even-keeled, even when the unexpected hits.
• You see your team's and your clients' success as your own.
• You're proactive and naturally curious about the digital space.
• You treat your clients' business as if it were your own.
• You make other people's jobs easier, no matter who they are or what they do.
• You create a positive, open environment around you.
• Your attention to detail is unmatched.
• You bring a diverse and inclusive perspective.

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.
