VP/SVP, Accounts

OVERVIEW:

Movement Strategy is growing our Account team and looking for a seasoned leader. We're hiring at either the VP or SVP level, depending on experience and fit. If you've spent your career in social-first, culturally relevant work and know how to build first-class client teams, keep reading.

The right person for this role lives in culture, not adjacent to it. You understand how brands earn relevance on social rather than just buy it, and you've led teams through the speed and always-on nature of social: real-time response, cultural moments, creator and community-driven brand building. You bring big-picture thinking to every client conversation and drive new business at every turn.

With Newfangled Studios now part of Movement Strategy, this role owns account leadership across the combined organization. You'll own executive-level client relationships and the long-term growth of a portfolio that spans our social-first work and full range of capabilities. You'll set the vision for how we show up for clients and how our people grow.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead the vision. Communicate a clear sense of purpose that teams want to rally behind. Make the vision shareable and inspire people across the organization to move with it. Set the strategic direction for the account functions, and align the team around how we show up for clients.
• Be the connective tissue. Maintain visibility across the groups and departments within your discipline. Surface patterns, risks, and opportunities to ELT, and connect the dots that individual teams can't see on their own. You're the person who sees the whole board and keeps leadership informed.
• Build the client service model: Establish the client service model the whole team operates by, standardizing practices, cadences, and ways of working so our approach is consistent across every account. Lead new client onboarding, account planning, quarterly business reviews, and successful renewals as repeatable, best-in-class motions.
• Grow and expand scope. Own organic growth across the portfolio. Spot where we can deepen existing relationships, build the case for new scopes of work, and lead the strategy, scoping, and pricing conversations that turn those opportunities into signed business. Partner with finance and operations to forecast revenue accurately and protect margin as accounts scale.
• Own client leadership. Oversee the entire account function as the senior relationship owner, while staying hands-on with a core cohort of accounts. Lead all client engagements, including strategic guidance, thought leadership, integrated planning, staffing solutions, and revenue forecasting. Champion thought leadership alongside our clients, bringing them into industry events and forums to showcase work, discuss relevant topics, and build relationships in person. Set direction for the whole portfolio, step into high-stakes conversations, and personally lead the relationships and work where your presence matters most, ensuring best-in-class delivery.
