Freelance Content Creator Job at Thesis in New York
Thesis, New York, NY, United States, 10261
Thesis and Stasis cover the full spectrum of cognitive performance, from clinically-tested nootropics for sharper focus to evidence-based ADHD stimulant support for managing medication daily.We've raised over $13M, earned attention from leading neuroscientists and elite athletes, and built a community that trusts us because we're delivering something that actually works. Our efficacy rates speak for themselves.But here's what sets us apart: We exist because the ADHD community deserves better. Better than generic wellness advice, polished content that doesn't reflect reality, or brands that treat them like a demographic to be educated. We're contrarian by necessity: honest when the industry is sanitized, specific when others stay vague, and built for people who are exhausted by being talked at rather than understood.We're a small, focused team with a loyal audience and a product people actively seek out. In 2026, we're scaling. That means we need someone who can create authentic content that reflects our community's ht reality while reaching the people who need what we're building. Not just as a "face of the brand," but as someone genuinely gets it.
About the Role
We're looking for a contracted Brand Face + Content Creator who can do it all: come up with the concept, shoot it, edit it, and be the on-camera talent to bring it to life. You need to understand internet culture, live on TikTok and Instagram, and know how to create lo-fi, scroll-stopping content that feels authentic, not advertorial.
Non-negotiables for this role:
- Deeply understands the ADHD community. Authenticity isn't optional here—it's the entire foundation of what we do.
- Generates ideas that cut through the noise and actually resonate with the ADHD community
- Executes independently from concept to final edit, with support from our in-house creative team when needed
- Shows up on camera as a recognizable face of the brand, someone our community trusts and wants to hear from
- Brings their own POV, style, and attention to detail in every piece of content
- Is comfortable with branded paid ad creative leveraging their content
