Growth Operations Manager

Growth Operations Manager

Position: Full-Time 

Location: This position offers remote work. While we have a preference for candidates based in California, Colorado, or New York, applicants from other locations may also be considered.

OVERVIEW

Movement Strategy is entering an exciting phase of growth. As inbound opportunity volume increases and delivery teams operate at high utilization, we’re building the operational infrastructure needed to support Growth at scale.

We’re looking for a Growth Operations Manager, someone with an account management or project management background who thrives in coordination, systems, and cross-functional enablement. This role will ensure opportunities move cleanly through our pipeline, that internal teams are aligned and prepared, and that handoffs from Growth into Client Services are smooth and consistent.

This is a highly collaborative role focused on operational ownership — not traditional sales or commission-based new business development.

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.

• Prevent stalled or dropped opportunities through consistent follow-through
• Synthesize information into clear internal summaries to support leadership decision-making

By owning opportunity flow and internal coordination, this role allows Growth leadership to stay focused on strategic growth priorities.

• Supporting larger, higher-priority opportunities

• Strengthening Growth systems, reporting, and team development

QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of experience in account management, project management, client operations, delivery operations, or agency production/PM (or similar cross-functional coordination roles)

• Excellent written and verbal communication — able to translate messy inputs into clear summaries, next steps, and expectations
• Comfort partnering with senior leaders and supporting decision-making through preparation and coordination
• Strong judgment and discretion with sensitive internal and client-facing information

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Experience improving internal processes (templates, handoff checklists, operating cadences, dashboards)
• Prior experience working closely with Client Services leadership and navigating handoffs from sales/growth into delivery/account teams

IDEAL QUALITIES                                                                          

• You treat every conversation like the start of a relationship, not a transaction—and people remember how you made them feel long after it’s over.
• You thrive on momentum. When you see an opening, you act—confidently, quickly, and with a plan to win.
• You’re endlessly curious about culture, platforms, and technology, and you know how to turn that curiosity into strategies that close deals.

• You celebrate wins loudly, learn from losses quickly, and keep moving with optimism.

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.
