Job description

Senior Director, Social Media Analytics

Want to work on the cutting edge of social media? Want to join a company whose brand is so strong that we get unsolicited clients reaching out every week? Want to work at an agency whose mission is to Spread Joy?

Movers+Shakers is a new kind of creative agency, built for the era of social & agility. We act as a creative AOR, influencer agency, and production house streamlined to drive cultural relevance with Gen Z and Millennials.

Brands like e.l.f., Netflix, Tinder, and Amazon rely on Movers+Shakers to win on social and beyond. We've gotten our clients over 250 billion views from explosive brand campaigns to viral daily content.

Fast Company named Movers+Shakers one of the "Most Innovative Companies" in the world, and Ad Age named us a "Small Agency of the Year" (three years in a row). Adweek called us "the best agency in the world at creating campaigns on TikTok."

We're really proud of our work, and we're even more proud of our culture. In their first week, new employees inevitably comment on how positive and supportive our workplace is. A month in, they're noting how little ego there is, and how departments collaborate surprisingly deeply.

  • Fluency with syndicated research tools (e.g., GWI, MRI-Simmons, YouGov).
  • Experience developing measurement frameworks that connect content, platform performance, and business outcomes.
  • Proven success turning complex data into compelling, actionable narratives for creative, strategy, and executive teams.
  • Strong client-facing experience with the ability to translate data into business decisions.
