Job description
By 2035, the majority of CEOs and senior decision makers will be digital natives: people whose expectations will reflect a digital and visual life experience.
At Manhattan Strategies, our mission is rooted in a simple hypothesis: if you communicate visually, you maximize your power to compel action. To do it, we combine an attentive communications agency and a boldly ambitious design studio. Our work spans challenges of every size and stage, from pre‑seed startups to Fortune 100 companies and from political campaigns to product launches.
Manhattan Strategies has been recognized by ADWEEK among the fastest‑growing agencies and by Inc Magazine as one of the fastest‑growing companies in America and the best B2B public relations provider in the United States.

The Senior Associate for Web Development will collaborate closely with designers, strategists and analytics specialists to translate visual and strategic concepts into high‑performing web experiences. Excellent teamwork, collaboration and professionalism are a must to succeed in this role.
The Senior Web Developer will also help guide development standards and contribute to the continuous improvement of Manhattan Strategies’ web capabilities.
