Marketing for Change is an independent national advertising firm propelled by behavioral science and focused on social change. We are seeking a Senior Strategy Director to grow our impact and our portfolio, someone with the network and marketing experience to counsel existing clients and win new ones. This is an ideal role for a leader who brings experience shaping new client relationships and directing a portfolio of client campaigns to accelerate impact, especially in the area of health and healthcare. 

What You’ll Do

• Own strategic direction across a portfolio of client campaigns where the bottom line is not selling products, but behavior change and social impact. 
• Counsel sophisticated nonprofits, foundations, government agencies and others on our use of consumer research and the Behavioral Determinants Framework to drive creative approaches to some of the most daunting challenges of our time, from mental health to gun violence and health insurance. 
• Lead teams of our internal experts in consumer research, marketing, media, and creative through campaign development and implementation.
• Jointly oversee the company’s Strategy Planning team of strategists, planners and coordinators who lead client-facing interactions and provide the direction and coordination needed for campaigns to succeed. 
• Proactively build a portfolio of new business, meeting annual targets by developing and managing a growth plan that identifies opportunities to expand our impact, especially in the realms of health and healthcare. 
• Elevate M4C’s profile through thought leadership—publishing, speaking, and industry participation.

What We Are Seeking

• A strategic, entrepreneurial leader with 8+ years of experience in integrated campaign leadership, including experience in health, healthcare or a related field. 
• A track record of securing high six- and seven-figure client contracts
• Proven ability to cultivate and grow existing client relationships
• Experience translating research insights into breakthrough marketing and communication strategies that produce measurable behavior change for good. 
• A deliberately developmental leader of a high-performing team who champions a learning culture

About Marketing for Change

We are an advertising agency that leverages the power of social psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics to advance social causes. Founded in 2005, Marketing for Change helps foundations, nonprofits, governments and companies “do good better.” 

Our 30-plus team includes copywriters, filmmakers, designers, researchers, developers and strategists — not to mention musicians, artists, podcasters, kayakers, and mountaineers. Because that part of life is just as important as work. Our work hubs are located in Orlando and just outside Washington, DC, and we very much prefer to hire people willing to locate in those areas. We are mostly a hybrid workforce with staff working together in-person at least one day a week because we value the fun and collaboration that allows.

Some of the perks:

• We care about each other. We check in. We advocate and cover for each other. We cheer each other on. And we like to hang out.
• We offer a comprehensive benefits package including vacation, sick and holiday leave, 401(k) matching contributions, and paid parental leave. We offer a range of health plans including PPO and HSA healthcare, as well as dental, disability and life insurance.
• We are a deliberately developmental workplace. That means we will help you develop and pursue professional goals that match your life goals and purpose.
• We prioritize balance and flexibility. We are at our desks most days for 8 hours, not 10. We are open to schedule adjustments and flexible schedules.
• We are a flat organization. Everyone’s ideas are valued. Anyone can spearhead a new company initiative or make change.
• We care about social change. We show up each day as part of a fun and friendly work culture to do inspiring work that makes the world a better place.
