Founding Content & Growth Lead / Hybrid in NYC

Motion Recruitment Partners, LLC
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 7/20/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/19/2026
Job Description
A rapidly growing fintech startup transforming the $13 trillion U.S. mortgage industry is looking for a Growth Marketing & Content Lead to build the voice and brand behind one of the most innovative infrastructure companies in financial services. This company has built the first vertically integrated mortgage platform that turns mortgage origination into a single API, helping lenders modernize an industry that has historically relied on manual processes. Backed by top-tier investors including Peter Thiel, QED, Citi, Fifth Wall, and the founders of Ramp, Blend, and Mercury, this company is experiencing rapid growth as some of the nation's largest mortgage originators build on its platform.

In this role, you will own their content, distribution strategy, and brand presence from the ground up. Working directly with the founders, you'll create compelling narratives that educate the market, establish thought leadership, and build a loyal community across social platforms, newsletters, podcasts, and industry events. This isn't a traditional marketing role built around content calendars and corporate messaging. Instead, you'll have the freedom, budget, and autonomy to experiment, build an audience organically, and develop creative campaigns that drive awareness and customer engagement.

This is a rare opportunity to become one of the earliest marketing hires at a high-growth fintech company with significant market momentum. You'll work directly alongside the executive team, own strategy from day one, and have the opportunity to shape how one of the fastest-growing companies in mortgage technology is perceived across the industry. If you're entrepreneurial, highly creative, and passionate about building brands that people genuinely care about, this role offers tremendous ownership and long-term growth.

What You Will Be Doing Daily Responsibilities
Build and scale company brand presence across X, LinkedIn, and emerging social platforms
Develop original content that positions them as a thought leader within the mortgage and fintech industries
Partner directly with the CEO to build executive thought leadership and founder brand awareness
Create compelling narratives, research, opinion pieces, and educational content that drives engagement and industry conversation
Design and execute growth experiments to identify new opportunities for audience acquisition and customer engagement
Analyze performance metrics, audience insights, and campaign results to continuously optimize content strategy
Build relationships with industry influencers, podcast hosts, newsletter publishers, and community leaders
Identify new channels and communities where mortgage professionals and fintech leaders actively engage
