[Hiring] Senior People and Talent Manager @Movement Strategy

Role Description

Movement Strategy is looking for a Senior Manager, People & Talent to oversee recruiting and people operations across Movement Strategy and Newfangled Studios. You will report to the Director of People, and work closely with hiring managers, department leads, and the leadership teams at both agencies.

This is a two-sided role, and we want to be upfront about that. Reporting into the Director of People, roughly half your time will be spent in full-cycle recruiting in a creative, social-first environment where the best candidates aren't applying to job posts. The rest is the operational spine underneath everything, policy, compliance, leave administration, onboarding, and the programming that makes people want to stay.

• Drafting a leave policy to running a final-round debrief in the same afternoon.
• Adjusting your own throttle and moving fluidly between two very different kinds of work.

Qualifications

• Full-cycle recruiting experience in an agency, creative, or media environment.
• Experience recruiting for roles where portfolio, book, or reel matters as much as resume.
• Comfort sourcing and engaging passive candidates in creative and social spaces.
• Fluency with an ATS, we use Greenhouse; comparable systems are fine.
• Working knowledge of multi-state employment law.
• Demonstrated policy writing.
• Experience administering leaves and accommodations.
• Fluency with an HRIS, we use Rippling and Lattice; comparable systems are fine.
• 6+ years across HR and recruiting, with real depth on both sides.
• Comfort working in an agency environment where priorities shift.
• A substantive, current point of view on DEI in practice.

Requirements

• Run full-cycle recruiting across both agencies: intake, sourcing strategy, screening, interview coordination, offer, and close.
• Partner with hiring managers to define what "creative excellence" looks like.
• Source actively for creative, strategy, paid media and account roles.
• Own recruiting operations in Greenhouse: data hygiene, stage integrity, and reporting.
• Draft, update, and maintain policies and the employee handbook.
• Maintain multi-state employment compliance day to day.
• Administer leaves and accommodations end to end.
• Manage the employee lifecycle across our systems.
• Support performance and engagement cycles.
• Serve as the internal thought partner on DEI.
• Build inclusive practice into how we hire and write policy.

Benefits

• 100% employer contribution for health (base plan), vision, and dental.
• 401K Retirement Plan with Company Match.
• Short and Long Term Disability.
• Life Insurance & AD&D.
• Paid Parental Leave.
• Fully-Remote Agency.
• Unlimited Paid Time Off.
• Take-As-You-Need Paid Time Off.
• Take-As-You-Need Paid Mental Health Days.
• 10 days minimum required off per year.
• Company Paid Holidays and More.
• Week-Long Winter Agency Closure.
• Support for continued education.
• New Business Referral Bonus.
• Movement Journey Program - Stipend for personal growth.
• Health and Wellness Program.
• WeWork Membership.
• Positive Impact and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committees.
• Employee Resource Groups.
