Movement Strategy is an Equal Opportunity Employer

Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they check every single box.

Movement Strategy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourages those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply.

We believe that what we put out into the world matters. And since we were founded on the principles of paving our own path, we take bold steps toward what we believe is the right direction.

We confront inequities head-on as they come, knowing that this work is never done and that we must keep the momentum.
