Creative Marketing Lead

Purpose, New York, NY, USA

Pay: $120,000-$160,000/yr

Job type: Contract


About the Role
We are hiring a Creative Marketing Lead to own the creative output, brand voice, and social presence that drive Purpose’s growth. You will own social media strategy, ad creative strategy, our UGC creator programs, and top‑of‑funnel copy across every surface where people encounter Purpose for the first time. You will manage a roster of UGC creators, social media freelancers, and agency relationships to produce content that regularly performs.

You will report to the founding team and work closely with Mark himself. This is a hands‑on role with real ownership. You will build and execute strategy, not just pitch it. You will concept, write, direct, and ship – and you will manage external partners to do the same at scale.

Location: Remote
Time Commitment: Full‑time

What You Will Own

Social Media Strategy

Own Purpose’s social media presence across platforms. Define the content strategy, voice, posting cadence, and creative direction that builds an audience of people who care about personal growth and turns them into users. You will determine what we post, where we post it, and why.

UGC Creator Program

Build and manage a network of UGC creators who produce authentic content about Purpose. Source creators, write briefs, give feedback, maintain quality standards, and scale the program as the brand grows. You own the pipeline from creator identification through final deliverable.

Ad Creative

Own the creative strategy and production for paid acquisition across channels. Help concept, script, and direct performance creative – static, video, and hybrid formats. Work with the Head of Growth to interpret performance data and iterate on what converts. You are responsible for making ads that people actually stop scrolling for.

Top‑of‑Funnel Copy and Creative

Write and optimize the copy and creative assets that sit at the top of the funnel – landing pages, promotional campaigns, email sequences, and anywhere else a potential user encounters Purpose for the first time. Collaborate with the Product Growth Manager on conversion optimization where your creative meets their funnel.

Brand Voice and Visual Consistency

Maintain and evolve Purpose’s brand identity across every external touchpoint. Ensure that everything we put into the world – from a TikTok to a landing page to an ad – feels like it comes from the same team with the same standards. Art‑direct freelancers and agency partners to keep output on‑brand.

External Partner Management

Manage relationships with ad agencies, freelance designers, copywriters, and production partners. Brief them clearly, hold them to deadlines, and ensure their output meets our quality bar. You are the point of contact between Purpose and anyone producing creative on our behalf.
