Is there a way to politely let a hiring manager know you are moving quickly through interviews at rival agencies as a heads up to expedite their process? Agency A is being very slow, but they’re my top choice. Agency B and C are moving quickly with their interview process. I don’t want to come across the wrong way and ruin my chances.

I’d be honest and say you’re having multiple conversations and am quite interested in this role.

Interviewing means nothing to them. Bring them the offer if you get it. Otherwise you’re asking them to speed up for no reason.

Eh, this is debatable and varies from place to place. Most of the time when I am interviewing with places they ask me if I am interviewing elsewhere and continue to ask throughout the process to make sure they take the time they need or speed up their process if they have to. I’d just just ask them when they plan to make their decision by and that you are really interested but are also interviewing elsewhere. They will understand.

I’d probably voice this to the recruiter rather than the hiring manager unless they asked you the question directly.

More context: my top choice has a balance of decent pay, good vibes, and solid work. The other options are viable, but I could see myself here longterm with more growth.
