We’re innovative, progress-obsessed, do-gooders who care deeply about social change and continuing to push the limits on what we can accomplish together. We’ve brought strategies to life for nonprofit organizations working around the world, including Sandy Hook Promise, Human Rights Watch, The Humane Society of the U.S., Save the Children, and Friends of the Earth.

We’ve set our sights on changing the world through our work and with our clients, and representation is at the foundation of what we do.

Overview: We are seeking a Freelance Ads Strategist who is eager to be the architect of multi-channel acquisition strategies that drive clicks but, more importantly, fund humanitarian aid and protect democratic institutions. In this role, you will drive the innovation that crushes our clients’ direct response and other acquisition goals. You will work alongside teams of writers, designers, and analysts to bridge the gap between creative storytelling and hard data.

- Navigating the high-stakes, rapid-response world of news-cycle marketing, where your ability to pivot a strategy in real-time can result in millions of dollars raised for a cause in a single day.
Must-have qualifications:
- At least 3 years of experience managing complex paid media portfolios in a high-growth startup, a major agency, or a political organization.
- A Product Manager approach to ads – you care as much about the post-click experience and conversion rate optimization as you do about the CPM.
- Excellent quantitative reasoning skills, proficiency using Excel, and ability to apply data to strategic decisions;
- Extensive experience with the backend of ad managers.
- Obsession with optimization: At MissionWired, finding the extra 5% of efficiency could mean an extra $100k for a client’s mission.
- You are deeply committed to progressive causes and want to spend your time and effort contributing to the causes and missions of our clients.
Nice-to-have qualifications:
- Experience with nonprofit and/or political fundraising.
