Associate Director, Strategy (Bilingual)

Position: Full-Time

Location: Remote

 

OVERVIEW

Movement Strategy is seeking a Bilingual (English/Spanish) Associate Strategy Director to help lead strategic development within a Pod, partnering closely with Strategy, Creative, Content & Engagement, Paid Media, and Account to deliver culturally fluent, insight-led, platform-native work.  This role supports a brand pod that requires regular collaboration with Spanish-speaking artists, partners, and stakeholders.

In this role, you serve as a senior strategic partner who supports the Pod’s strategic vision, drives core strategic workstreams, develops briefs and frameworks, and shapes the insights that guide creative development.

You may also be activated for new business pitches and provide overflow strategic support to other Pods when senior-level insight or strategic reinforcement is needed.

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.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
