Want to work on the cutting edge of social media? Want to join a company whose brand is so strong that we get unsolicited clients reaching out every week? Want to work at an agency whose mission is to Spread Joy?

Movers+Shakers is a new kind of creative agency, built for the era of social & agility. We act as a creative AOR, influencer agency, and production house -- streamlined to drive cultural relevance with Gen Z and Millennials.

Brands like e.l.f., Netflix, Tinder, and Amazon rely on Movers+Shakers to win on social and beyond. We’ve gotten our clients over 250 billion views -- from explosive brand campaigns to viral daily content.

Fast Company named Movers+Shakers one of the "Most Innovative Companies" in the world, and Ad Age named us a "Small Agency of the Year" (three years in a row). Adweek called us "the best agency in the world at creating campaigns on TikTok."

We're really proud of our work, and we're even more proud of our culture. In their first week, new employees inevitably comment on how positive and supportive our workplace is. A month in, they're noting how little ego there is, and how departments collaborate surprisingly deeply.

## THE ROLE

We’re looking for your leadership in rapid growth

Demand for Movers+Shakers industry-leading expertise has never been higher. We are sprinting through rapid growth and transformation, meeting clients’ hunger for bigger, deeper strategic partnerships. We’re on track to double and then triple our size in the next few years.

We’re looking for a seasoned operator to translate the founders’ vision into reality -- making the plans & priorities, bringing them to life, and guiding the team with clarity and wisdom. This is a hands-on role, where every day you’ll be working at high altitude AND low in the trenches. We’re a small team (sub 100 people), and all of our executives also function as individual contributors.

The ideal candidate has experience leading hyper growth (50%+ per year), smartly managing investment and margin. You have a track record of working with founders, and you love to do things the industry doesn’t believe are possible. You enjoy taming the chaos, and then pushing our company up to the next level. Let’s go! 🚀

## ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS & RESPONSIBILITIES

Your job is to partner closely with the founders and executive team: operationalize the disruptive vision, and, crucially, push back and steer us to success. Manage rapid growth by scaling team capacity on pace with client growth, building and reinventing processes, and managing margin along the way.

This role reports to the CEO / Co-Founder, and all functions report into this role. In this way, a big part of your job is harmonizing the functions and keeping everyone oriented toward the goals and priorities. We operate on [EOS](https://www.eosworldwide.com/what-is-eos), and this role is our [Integrator](https://www.eosworldwide.com/blog/the-integrator-a-breakdown-of-the-role).

## AGENCY LEADERSHIP

- Work with the founders and executive team to plan, prioritize, and implement transformation and growth. Help create a healthy tension among the top leadership between big dreams & disruption, with operational best practice & practicality.
- Partner with the head of Business Partnerships to ensure client delight and growth, and develop a healthy tension between client needs and operational success.
- Partner with CCO and ECD to boost the quality of the creative output by improving team models and delivery processes.
- Work with the CEO and finance lead on P&L planning. Balance staff costs and growth investments with margin.
- Guide the agency in tracking to our financial targets, and adjusting course as needed.
- Design and stand up teams to service large AOR wins.
- Nurture a culture of excellence across the agency, alongside a sense of joy and belief in possibility.
- Build strong relationships across Stagwell (our parent company), including Stagwell leadership and sister agencies.

## QUALIFICATIONS

We are open to hiring this role at various senior leadership levels (COO, EVP, SVP), depending on the candidate’s experience.

- Optimistic, nurturing, collaborative and decisive leader.
- Energized and ambitious about AI integration in your own day to day and your teams’.
- Experience reinventing service offerings and workflows to be AI-centric is a plus.
- 20+ years of experience in marketing agencies, primarily at creative and/or social agencies. Client-side experience is a plus.
- Expert in project management, staff planning, resource management, and pricing.
- Skilled in financial planning & analysis.
- Experience at rapidly growing agencies, in the 50-200 person range.
- Experience partnering with founders.

- **Founded**: 2016
- **Founders**: Evan Horowitz (CEO) and Geoffrey Goldberg (Chief Creative Officer)

## Core Business

- **Mission statement**: To spread joy and drive brand love by creating culturally relevant, socially-native content and campaigns.

## Products & Services

## 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.
