Description:

Vice President, Social Media & Digital Storytelling

We’re looking for a digital leader to come work for one of the best firms in the do-gooder business. When you come work for us, here’s what you’ll find:

Work that is awesome. We are serious about working with clients who are changing the world and taking on the bad guys. We say no to clients if we don’t believe in their cause or if we can’t help them.

Colleagues you can count on. Kind, dedicated, and pretty cool people who get things done, and help you to do your best, too.

A critical, fearless approach. Every day we say and do the things that must be said and done, even if the consequences aren’t exactly a barrel of laughs.

Creativity that just won’t quit. We want you to bring your true self to work every day. Not just because it’s fun, but because the craziest idea just might be the thing that works.

So that’s us. Now, about the work…

We do communications and advocacy for nonprofits and foundations working on the biggest issues of the day – reforming the justice system with the MacArthur Foundation, defending the Clean Air Act with the American Lung Association, building an army of cancer advocates with the American Cancer Society, ending climate change with 350.org, Sierra Club, NRDC, Union of Concerned Scientists, & many more.

Day-to-day, we’re using the tools of social media and earned media to brand our clients and their issues, raise awareness, recruit supporters, win media attention, and influence and persuade decision-makers.

As a VP on our team, you would serve as the Senior Client Manager for 3-4 social media clients, providing strategic direction and leading a team on each one. Here’s what you’ll  do on any given day:

  • Build and mentor our social media team.
  • Grow and empower our strong team of social media strategists and implementers, overseeing their work, being a mentor, and setting up systems and structures to make their work even stronger and their M+R experience even better.
  • Appropriately leverage outside team resources such as our creative team, data analysts, web developers etc.
  • Grow our social media line of service.
  • Find the causes we want to be working on and the organizations who are making the biggest difference, and work with other Senior Managers to help grow the number and mix of clients we’re working with in the social sphere.
  • Demand top-notch content. Know what good looks like. Even better, know what CRAZY AMAZING looks like, and work with client teams to deliver that every time through effective social media copy and content.
  • Count everything. Devise testing plans and distill social media results into the important lessons that could change how a campaign or organization performs.
  • Maintain client relationships. Stay in close contact with clients throughout the day via email and phone about all the big and little things going on, participate in weekly check-in calls and present at big strategy meetings. Think not just about what we’re doing for clients, but what more we should be doing for them.

And then there’s you

  • You’re a leader in the field. You have 10-12 years of experience including 7+ working in social media. You’ve run a social media program for a mid-sized or large nonprofit or electoral campaign or you’ve consulted on them at an agency;
  • You have a deep understanding of the role digital plays in the campaigns of today and tomorrow, and can think across channels. You’ve developed and implemented earned and paid digital strategies. You know how social media content can and should move across distribution channels. You know how social media integrates with earned media and marketing;
  • You can hold a room…and a conference call. You’ve built consensus among a broad range of stakeholders, and you know when to push hard to point the ship in the right direction;
  • You’ve run projects and led teams and can evolve processes and systems that allow you and your teams to do the best possible work;
  • You actually, deeply, want to be the best and you’re up for what that entails (you know:  fast-paced environment with lots of projects and many tight deadlines);
  • You’re a true believer. You want to change the world. You are hopeful and helpful and ready to keep your boots on the ground and eye on the prize.

Salary, Benefits, and Some Perks

One of our core values as a firm is that we take care of each other. Every employee shares in our success and in our profits, and we offer a great salary and benefits package:

  • Three weeks of vacation to start, as well as sick and personal days;
  • Generous health, dental, and vision benefits;401(k) plan with employer match;
  • Flexible Spending Accounts for medical, dependent care, and transit;
  • Summer Fridays;
  • Weekly “beerstorms” where we cook up our most creative campaign ideas;
  • All kinds of non-traditional benefits depending on which office you’re in. Records and record players. Snack breaks. Mannequins. Animatronic ponies. It just gets weirder and cooler and fun-ner from here.
