We’re looking for an Account Supervisor to join our Campaign Strategy Area.

When you come work with us, here’s what you’ll find:

• Work that is meaningful. We are a fast-paced, deadline-driven consulting firm that only works with nonprofit clients who are essential to advancing the cause of justice, alleviating suffering, and solving the greatest challenges we face.
• Commitment to Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion (AEI). We envision an anti-oppressive workplace that ensures an inclusive employee experience, promotes equitable outcomes for staff, and supports clients to center accessibility and anti-racism in their programs.
• Colleagues you can count on. Kind, dedicated, passionate people who work collaboratively to get things done and help you do your best.

We leave no idea unconsidered that might build power, from social media influencers to massive digital ad campaigns to innovative PR tactics to state-level field campaigns to relational organizing.

• Maintain the client relationship by staying in close contact with clients throughout the day via email and phone, leading weekly check-in calls, and presenting at strategy meetings.
• Project manage and be accountable for our overall work with the client, including leading cross-functional client teams focused on executing strategies including advocacy, organizing, media relations, advertising, social media, and fundraising, making sure deliverables are moving the client to achieve their goals.
• Assign and review junior staff deliverables -- providing feedback, coaching, and guidance at every step.
• Build replicable processes -- ensuring learnings from client engagements are captured and translated into future systems that make our work more efficient.
• Drive conversations and processes that help build inclusive spaces within your teams and across M+R.
• Do your part to help us run smoothly, including carefully tracking all of your hours.
