Paid Media Manager (Contract)

Remote

Paid Media Manager

Position: Contractor (mid-May to the end of Oct), 40hrs/wk 

Location: Remote, MT or PT based

 

About the Role

We’re looking for a Paid Social Media Manager with deep expertise in TikTok and Meta to join Movement Strategy.

This role sits at the intersection of paid media and creator marketing — ideal for someone who is equally comfortable owning campaigns end-to-end in Ads Manager as they are collaborating with influencer teams to bring creator-led campaigns to life.

You will lead creator-led paid social campaign execution that is at the center of a brand campaign launch for a new non-profit organization, with a strong focus on TikTok-first strategies, including Branded Mission campaigns, Spark Ads, and creator amplification.

This is a Manager-level role, meaning you will operate with a high degree of ownership, make independent decisions within strategy, and serve as a key partner across teams.

 

A BIT ABOUT US

Movement Strategy creates content and campaigns for the world’s most exciting brands. We win awards, make headlines, shatter engagement numbers and celebrate the journey along the way. It’s why companies like Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, and Intuit come to us again and again.

We’re fully remote with hubs in New York, Denver, and LA, and a presence all across the US. We believe collaboration is what takes our work from good to great, and at times, even to legendary status. We champion diverse opinions and creativity in every department, and provide professional development and learning opportunities with the goal of helping you discover your best work today, and learn how to make it even better in the future.

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.

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.
