Job summary

Movement Labs is a program incubator and consulting firm that uses technology, data, and randomized controlled trials to win elections and build progressive power. This is a scaling leadership role reporting to the founder and CEO, who will continue to focus his energy on strategy, fundraising, new programs, and the greatest opportunities for impact.

You will ensure that the organization itself is built to support those goals.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional experience, including substantial experience managing managers and senior leaders in a high-performance environment.
• Demonstrated experience helping lead an organization, business, program, or major function through significant growth - ideally 2x or more - and personal ownership of the operational or organizational changes required to make that growth work.
• A builder’s understanding of scale: you have created or materially improved structures, roles, management systems, and operating rhythms rather than inheriting them.
• Exceptional judgment and general-management range. You move comfortably between strategy, people, operations, and execution; you have structured and hired roles to create leverage and built accountability without unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Deep motivation to work in the democracy space, and comfort with the urgency and intense sprints the election calendar creates.
• Ability to bring the right amount of order to an entrepreneurial environment: rigorous where rigor creates leverage, flexible where speed and experimentation matter.

Responsibilities

• Scale the organization. Translate the 2x growth strategy into an organizational and operating model that can support it.
• Lead the leadership team. Run the weekly leadership cadence, quarterly goal-setting, planning, and organization-wide decision processes.
• Manage and develop senior leaders. Directly manage a portfolio of VPs and/or directors, strengthen management quality across the organization, and build leadership capacity for a substantially larger enterprise.
• Design the organization. Shape structures, roles, accountabilities, cross-functional interfaces, and management rituals for a fast-growing, fully remote organization while protecting a high-performance, mission-driven culture.
• Serve as the CEO’s strategic partner and proxy. Help evaluate major investments and opportunities on both mission and business terms; resolve difficult internal questions; unstick decisions; mediate across teams; and turn strategy into execution.
• Operate at election-cycle speed. Create enough structure to support scale without bureaucracy that slows us down, and help teams decide well and fast when priorities shift.
