Campaign Manager, Education ​/ Teaching

Theorem Media distributes the independent films that matter: films that change how people see the world and, in some cases, change policy and public conversation. Our current slate includes Ask

E. Jean which had its theatrical premiere in May 2026 to real critical attention.

We're a small, fast-moving team, which means the work is real from day one. No busywork, no waiting years to touch something that matters. You'll see your ideas become the campaign, not sit in a deck. We work closely together, we move quickly, and we care about doing the work well rather than just doing a lot of it. If you want a job where you can point to specific films and specific campaigns and say 'we built that,' this is that kind of place.

This is a fast-paced environment, and it suits someone comfortable with ambiguity who thrives when priorities shift. We test an approach, evaluate the results, and adjust course as a team rather than in isolation. We move quickly during work hours and protect personal time outside of them.

We hire people who are great at what they do and good to the people they do it with. If you love this kind of work and show up that way for your team, you'll fit here.

Theorem runs several complex, high-powered campaign strategies at once, each one built by the CEO and VP & GM, around a specific audience, partner landscape, and goal. This role is the application layer between that strategy and doing the work that actually delivers, measures and optimizes it.

You won’t just be handed a task list. You’ll be handed the strategy itself, and the thinking behind it, and it’s your job to hear it, understand it, care about it, and translate it into clear goals, sequenced tasks, and campaign plans. The test isn’t what do I have to do today to get paid; it’s what does this campaign actually need to hit its goal, and what’s my part in that.

You’ll also own the partner-facing side of campaigns once a relationship is handed to you. That takes real comfort on the phone and in the room: reading what a partner actually wants, building genuine rapport, and knowing when and how to ask for the close.

This role runs the campaign day to day, not just the strategy and the relationship: keeping work moving, solving problems as they surface, and flagging what needs to change. It works inside the shared project system that Theorem’s Project Manager runs, rather than a separate one.

To be clear about the split:
Theorem’s Project Manager owns that system, the milestones and the approval routing across every campaign. This role does not build or run it. You are in the weeds: on calls with filmmakers and partners, closing screenings and bookings, and solving whatever comes up that day. If you are drawn to building the process more than doing the work inside it, this isn’t the right opening;

we are hiring a Project Manager separately for that.

The day to day here is busy. There is rarely one slow thing happening at a time, and the people who do well in this role already have that pace in their background: a startup, an agency, or another fast-moving team.

• Think in terms of the strategic objective behind a task, not just the task itself, and let that understanding shape how you prioritize and execute
• Run multiple campaigns at once without losing track of what each one is actually trying to achieve
• Run point on Theorem's active campaigns day to day: keep filmmaker and partner work moving, solve problems as they come up, and make sure nothing stalls between strategy and delivery
• Report progress, risks, and decisions on each campaign without being asked, inside whatever project system Theorem's Project Manager has in place, rather than building or running a separate one
