## THE ROLE

As Managing Director, EMEA, you'll lead Movers+Shakers' EMEA operations, headquartered in London, as we rapidly scale and grow it. We’re looking for a veteran builder of client growth and team growth, in a small office context. You’re savvy with reading the tea leaves of client opportunities, and you’re a skilled operator who leads & inspires great work.

This is a net new role we’re investing in as our London office expands. We opened in London two years ago to handle a small set of anchor clients, and now are starting to scale it. You’ll be leading our amazing existing senior leaders in London, and collaborating closely with the executive team in the US. You’ll also partner with senior leaders across our Stagwell sister agencies, with whom we collaborate on some work.

We’re looking for the unicorn who spans client whisperer, operational wizard, and growth driver. The top two priorities for this role are client growth and scaling a high-performing team. You’re someone with a bold vision who leads with joy, and we will entrust you to ensure London continues to reflect the same award-winning, culture-forward standard we've built in the US.

## RESPONSIBILITIES

- Drive organic growth by deepening relationships with our existing client base, identifying opportunities to expand the scope and impact of our work.
- Build and steward senior-level relationships with our key clients, serving as a trusted advisor and the primary point of escalation.
- Develop and execute a regional growth strategy in partnership with the executive team, across both revenue growth and corresponding team expansion.
- Drive new business opportunities including inbound RFPs and partnering with sister agencies across the Stagwell network.
- Partner with creative, strategy, operations, and account teams to deliver award-winning work that naturally builds long-term client loyalty.
- Own regional pipeline reporting and revenue forecasting, with a focus on retention and expansion targets.
- Own day-to-day operational leadership of the London office, including resourcing, budget, and culture.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with account management, project management, strategy, and creative on both sides of the Atlantic.
- Ensure consistency of brand, culture, and quality standards between the UK and US offices.
- Represent Movers+Shakers in the market, engaging in networking and industry events to support brand visibility and reputation.

## QUALIFICATIONS

- 15+ years of agency experience, with a track record of new business origination and revenue growth in the UK/EMEA market.
- Extensive experience in creative agencies is required. Experience in social and/or influencer agencies is a plus.
- An existing network of senior marketing relationships at large multi-national brands.
- Proven experience building and leading a team from the ground up
- Used to working on a small team where the top leaders are also individual contributors.
- Strong commercial acumen: pipeline management, forecasting, and P&L management.
- Comfortable operating with significant autonomy inside a US-headquartered organization.
- Excellent executive presence and communication skills; able to represent the agency externally at every level.
- Experience working within a holding company structure (e.g., Stagwell, WPP, Publicis, Omnicom) is a plus.
- Ability to work in a hybrid capacity from our London Bluefin office (2-3 days per week typically in office).
- Able to travel as needed for clients and relationship building. We estimate travel around 15%.
- Spreads joy! ✨🚀

We look forward to hearing from you! 🎵💃

## About Movers+Shakers

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Movers+Shakers is a social-first creative agency on a mission to spread joy, connecting brands to culture for Gen Z and Millennials through disruptive, culturally-native content and campaigns.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped/Independent, member of the Stagwell network)
- **Headquarters**: Los Angeles, California, USA (with hubs in New York City and London)
- **Founded**: 2016
- **Founders**: Evan Horowitz (CEO) and Geoffrey Goldberg (Chief Creative Officer)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Social-first creative agency / marketing and advertising
- **Target customers**: B2B — brands looking to connect with Gen Z and Millennials (project-based to Global Social AOR)
- **Mission statement**: To spread joy and drive brand love by creating culturally relevant, socially-native content and campaigns.

## Products & Services
- **Social Strategy & Campaigns**: End-to-end social media strategy, creative concepting, and production across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and Facebook.
- **Influencer Marketing**: Strategic influencer partnerships and creator campaigns that drive cultural relevance.
- **Always-On & Community Management**: Ongoing social content calendars, community engagement, and brand presence management.
- **Emerging Media & Innovation**: Pioneering playbooks at the frontiers of marketing, including new and emerging platforms.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Recognized by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies in the World; named Ad Age's Best Small Agency for three consecutive years. Ranked the #1 fastest-growing marketing agency in the world.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Member of the Stagwell network (a global network of disruptive marketing agencies). Client partnerships span major brands across sectors.
- **Growth Signals**: Rapid growth trajectory since founding in 2016; expanding from a 2-person collaboration to a globally recognized agency with offices in LA, NYC, and London; consistently winning industry awards and expanding into new service areas.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founder-led, non-traditional background**: Co-founders with zero prior agency experience (a Broadway performer/director and a Harvard MBA marketer) bring a fresh, disruptive perspective to an industry dominated by TV-centric thinking.
- **Social-first, culturally-native DNA**: Born on social media, the agency's entire approach is built for platforms where Gen Z and Millennials live, rather than adapting traditional TV campaigns.
- **Joy as a core value**: A unique company culture that explicitly prioritizes joy, psychological safety, and celebrating both wins and failures as essential to innovation.
- **Remote-first culture**: Built from the ground up as a remote-first team, with a strong, tight-knit culture that thrives across locations.

## Strategic Focus
- **Omni-channel expansion**: While known for TikTok expertise, the agency is actively building capabilities across Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook, and emerging platforms to avoid being pigeonholed.
- **Continued cultural relevance**: Staying on the cutting edge by listening to where culture is moving and inventing new playbooks for brand engagement.
- **Talent and culture scaling**: Actively focused on "how to continue to foster that culture and how to continue to care for people while also making amazing content and amazing campaigns" as the agency grows.
- **Integrated impact through Stagwell**: Partnering with specialists across the Stagwell network (spanning creative, media, data, experiential, AI) to deliver comprehensive solutions.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-first culture**: Work from anywhere in the US — home, WeWork, or a coworking space. All employees receive an All-Access WeWork Pass. Hubs in LA, NYC, and London for in-person collaboration.
- **100% covered benefits**: Plans that cover 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums, plus FSA and HSA options.
- **Flexible PTO**: A flexible schedule and PTO policy to recharge when needed, plus dedicated days off for wellness and care, and additional time off during holidays.
- **Joy as the #1 value**: A culture that celebrates both small wins and big failures, with a "hype squad" at every team meeting. No egos, no judgment — just laughter and space to be "joyfully you."
- **Innovation-focused**: The chance to work on "never-been-done-before" campaigns, bring bold ideas to the table, and work with clients who share the same values.
- **Cruelty-free and vegetarian company**: The company is committed to caring about all people and animals.
- **Diversity and inclusion**: Actively seeking team members with diverse experiences, heritage, ethnicity, racial background, and identity, recognizing this is critical for telling culturally relevant stories.
- **Collaborative environment**: Slack conversations about campaigns, trends, pets, food, and pop culture; zoom coffees and in-person hangouts to maintain a connected team.
