Bring forward ideas for experiments, campaigns, partnerships, content, and community touchpoints that could help NTN reach and better serve early-career therapists.

Maintain awareness of the conversations, questions, challenges, and interests relevant to NTN’s audience so marketing remains useful and connected to the community.

NTN Content & Community

Support the creation and execution of NTN social media content, including brainstorming concepts, researching topics, preparing posts, writing captions, scheduling/publishing, and repurposing existing content.

Support ongoing community engagement and brand communication, helping NTN maintain an active, warm, responsive, and valuable presence online.

Research and draft educational or resource-based content for NTN, including blog posts and other longer-form content based on content and SEO priorities.

Assist with NTN content filming and production as needed, including preparing ideas and materials, filming support, and turning recorded content into usable marketing assets.

Digital Marketing Support

Support NTN email marketing, including preparing and formatting newsletters, promotional emails, nurture content, event communications, and other campaigns.

Make routine updates to NTN website pages and digital resources through the website CMS and support new pages or improvements as needed.

Assist during TCC content filming days, including preparing ideas and materials, helping with filming logistics, capturing content, and supporting the Marketing Coordinator and team throughout production.

Create and adapt simple visual content in Canva for NTN and TCC, including stories, graphics, promotional assets, and resizing or reformatting existing designs for different platforms.

Write and edit clear, engaging, on-brand copy across both brands when needed.

Marketing Operations & Team Support

Support the creation and execution of social media content across NTN and related platforms, including brainstorming concepts, preparing posts, writing captions, and assisting with scheduling and publishing content.

Support marketing campaigns, events, launches, and community initiatives with the practical execution needed to move projects forward.

Track assigned marketing tasks and deadlines and proactively communicate progress, questions, or roadblocks to the Marketing Coordinator.

Bring forward ideas, observations, and opportunities for content or brand improvement rather than waiting exclusively for assigned tasks.

Pay attention to basic marketing performance and audience response, helping track relevant metrics and noticing patterns in what performs well, what does not, and what the team could learn from it.

Understand the purpose behind assigned work and ask thoughtful questions when context is unclear, rather than approaching marketing as a checklist of disconnected tasks.

Be willing to learn new marketing tools and skills independently as the needs of the role and organization evolve.

Required Qualifications:

Experience creating content for social media, a brand, organization, personal platform, or similar setting.

Strong writing and communication skills, with the ability to adapt tone and messaging for different platforms and audiences.

Experience supporting events, workshops, or digital communities

Experience with community management or membership-based platforms

Experience with analytics and reporting

Key Traits for Success:

Creative & observant: You notice what is happening online and can translate relevant ideas into content that feels useful to NTN’s therapist community while remaining aligned with the distinct voice of each brand.

Proactive, not reactive: You bring ideas and solutions forward and look for the next useful step instead of waiting to be assigned every detail.

Organized & dependable: You keep track of deadlines, drafts, assets, and recurring responsibilities and consistently follow through.

Strong brand judgment: You understand that good marketing is not simply following trends; you can consider audience, tone, context, and whether something actually fits the brand.

Collaborative: You enjoy contributing to a creative process, can take direction and feedback, and are a strong team member during content days and campaigns.

Curious & self-directed: You are genuinely interested in becoming better at marketing. You are comfortable teaching yourself new tools, researching how to do something, asking thoughtful questions, and continuing to build your marketing skill set.

Performance-minded: You are curious about what worked and why. You notice audience response and basic performance data and use those observations to inform future ideas.

Detail-oriented: You notice small errors, formatting issues, broken links, inconsistencies, and other details before content goes live.

Growth & Evolution of the Role

You’ll be joining a collaborative environment where your ideas are welcome, your skills can grow, and you’ll have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of NTN’s day‑to‑day marketing while gaining hands‑on experience across social media, email, digital marketing, content creation, website management, campaigns, and community growth. As The Cognitive Corner and New Therapist Network continues to expand, this role is expected to evolve into a full time position. You’ll work closely with the Marketing Coordinator while also supporting TCC marketing priorities as needed.

Why Work With Us?

The Cognitive Corner is a warm, trauma‑informed group practice built on compassion, integrity, creativity, and community care. Through the New Therapist Network, we also create resources, education, and community for therapists as they build confidence and grow in their careers. Marketing across both brands is an extension of that work: creating useful, thoughtful content and helping the right people find the support and resources available to them.
