Who We Are

We are an award-winning independent creative solutions company that aspires to be the most culturally-influential company in the world. We help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.

We are an entrepreneurial business — not a traditional "ad agency." That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. We're unapologetically ambitious.

We are looking for talented Program Managers to join Translation.

What Translation+ Is

Translation+ is our pre-vetted bench of elite freelance talent — the people we call on first when our core team is at capacity or a project demands a very specific skill set. This isn't a cold roster of names we found on a platform. This is a curated circle of trusted collaborators who we know, whose work we believe in, and who we treat as a true extension of our team.

What being a part of Translation+ means:
→ You're first in line when opportunities open up — no cold pitching, no competing.
→ We already know your work — you get the brief and we get moving.
→ You're a true addition to our team, not a vendor we found in the 11th hour — making our work and our people better.

What You'll Do

Program Management at Translation is what keeps complex, fast-moving work from falling apart — and what allows the best creative thinking to actually reach the finish line. Our Program Managers bring structure, clarity, and operational rigor to multi-workstream projects, working across internal teams as well as delivering back to clients. From scoping and scheduling to resource coordination, workflow management, cross-functional alignment, Program Managers keep internal and external stakeholders informed and accountable. Program Managers are the reason things get done — and done right. Whether you're a senior program director who's run large-scale integrated campaigns across multiple agency partners, a mid-level PM who excels at keeping creative and strategy teams in sync, or an organized, detail-obsessed coordinator who knows how to turn chaos into a clear plan — if you understand how creative agencies work and know how to make them run better, we want you on our bench.

How We Engage

We keep our process simple and intentional — because your time matters. Here's what to expect:

Step 1 — Screener Interview A conversation with someone from our Talent team to get to know you, understand your background, and make sure we're aligned on what you're looking for.

Step 2 — Department Interview A deeper conversation with a hiring manager in your area of expertise. This is where we really dig into your work, your experience, and how you operate.

Step 3 — The Decision Once both conversations are done, we make our call. If it's a fit, we bring you onto the bench — and that means something. You're in.

Step 4 — Getting Set Up If there’s an immediate need, we’ll have you complete the necessary paperwork right away to get you set up in our systems. If there isn’t, we’ll reach out when a project comes up and provide everything you need to get started at that time. This is a one-time process, and completing it upfront helps us move quickly when the right opportunity comes along.

Step 5 — We'll Be In Touch From there, we’ll reach out when an opportunity aligned with your skills and experience becomes available. We’ll share the details, and if the timing, availability, and rate work for you, we’ll get to work!

On Rates

Rates vary based on the scope, duration, and complexity of each engagement, and are grounded in our full-time salary bands so you know we're coming to you seriously. We'll always be upfront about what we have — from there, it's yours to take if it makes sense for you. No pressure, no obligation. We just ask for a straight answer so we can keep things moving.

Who We Are

We are an award-winning independent creative solutions company that aspires to be the most culturally-influential company in the world. We help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.

We are an entrepreneurial business — not a traditional "ad agency." That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. We're unapologetically ambitious.

We are looking for Business Affairs experts to join Translation+.

What Translation+ Is

Translation+ is our pre-vetted bench of elite freelance talent — the people we call on first when our core team is at capacity or a project demands a very specific skill set. This isn't a cold roster of names we found on a platform. This is a curated circle of trusted collaborators who we know, whose work we believe in, and who we treat as a true extension of our team.

What being a part of Translation+ means:
→ You're first in line when opportunities open up — no cold pitching, no competing.
→ We already know your work — you get the brief and we get moving.
→ You're a true addition to our team, not a vendor we found in the 11th hour — making our work and our people better.

What You'll Do

Business Affairs at Translation is where the work gets protected and the deals get done right. Our BA professionals manage the contracts, rights, talent agreements, licensing, and legal negotiations that sit behind every campaign — making sure the creative vision is airtight from a business and legal standpoint. This is a role that requires both precision and agility: you need to know the fine print and move at the speed of a creative agency. Whether you're a senior BA lead with deep experience negotiating complex talent and music deals, or a mid-level professional who knows union agreements and usage rights inside out, we need people who understand that good business affairs work is what allows great creative work to actually live in the world.

How We Engage

We keep our process simple and intentional — because your time matters. Here's what to expect:

Step 1 — Screener Interview A conversation with someone from our Talent team to get to know you, understand your background, and make sure we're aligned on what you're looking for.

Step 2 — Department Interview A deeper conversation with a hiring manager in your area of expertise. This is where we really dig into your work, your experience, and how you operate.

Step 3 — The Decision Once both conversations are done, we make our call. If it's a fit, we bring you onto the bench — and that means something. You're in.

Step 4 — Getting Set Up If there’s an immediate need, we’ll have you complete the necessary paperwork right away to get you set up in our systems. If there isn’t, we’ll reach out when a project comes up and provide everything you need to get started at that time. This is a one-time process, and completing it upfront helps us move quickly when the right opportunity comes along.

Step 5 — We'll Be In Touch From there, we’ll reach out when an opportunity aligned with your skills and experience becomes available. We’ll share the details, and if the timing, availability, and rate work for you, we’ll get to work!

On Rates

Rates vary based on the scope, duration, and complexity of each engagement, and are grounded in our full-time salary bands so you know we're coming to you seriously. We'll always be upfront about what we have — from there, it's yours to take if it makes sense for you. No pressure, no obligation. We just ask for a straight answer so we can keep things moving.

The range above is for the expectations as laid out in the job description, however we are often open to a wide variety of profiles, and recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced (or more senior) than this job description as posted.  If that ends up being the case, the updated salary range will be communicated with you as a candidate.

The salary range above is for the NY/CA.  As a company, we have a location based strategy, which means the salary range could be lower or higher than this if the role is hired in another location.

Who We Are

UnitedMasters is building a marketplace that connects artists, brands and fans - empowering artists to earn and grow. UnitedMasters has taken the bold step of building a music distribution service that, radically, puts artists first - disrupting the legacy music business by letting up-and-coming artists distribute their music directly to fans through streaming services while maintaining ownership of their master recording rights and up to 100% of royalties. Through the combination of UnitedMasters’ music distribution platform and its deep ties to brands, UnitedMasters enables independent artists and change-makers to grow and earn unlike any other platform.

The UnitedMasters team is made up of musicians, marketers, engineers, and storytellers with backgrounds from YouTube, SoundCloud, Pandora, Facebook, Uber, Dropbox, Complex, VICE, and more.
