Being a part of Ellenhorn

Community-integration programs help those who are receiving psychiatric services maintain their social roles in the real world and remain connected to nourishing social networks and communities. Rather than separating people from vibrant community resources, such programs support clients in staying focused and believing in their own productive, fulfilling futures while receiving help.

Ellenhorn provides an effective alternative to care that removes people from the community and uses the most researched and evidence-based best-practice model for people who experience psychiatric events. The model we use is called a Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT). The success of the PACT model was a driving force in the development of community-integration programs, and remains the gold standard in this kind of care.

Our People

You can feel the power of hope at Ellenhorn. We bring in the best people, and we’re all part of a dedicated, committed group focused on a common goal. We embrace outstanding talent with diverse backgrounds and perspectives and foster a work environment where all employees feel empowered to do their best work. We take our jobs seriously, treat each other with respect and integrity, and learn and grow in our careers.

Our Compensation and Benefits

Ellenhorn offers competitive salaries. Our benefit offerings include Medical, Dental and Vision coverage, Life Insurance, Disability (Short & Long-Term) Insurance, 401(k), a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy, Flexible Spending Accounts, and more.

Creative and Digital Marketing Manager (Arlington, MA or New York, NY)

For the marketer who's also a designer. Or the designer who's also a marketer. 
 
Ellenhorn has been treating the most difficult-to-engage psychiatric clients in the community for twenty years. Accord is pioneering metabolic approaches to mental health. Silver Hill New York is integrating technology into care that informs treatment. What’s new is bringing them together under shared infrastructure and building the marketing team to meet the needs of the growing group.
 
Position Summary: As our Creative and Digital Marketing Manager, you are the owner of how the Collective and its programs show up in the world. You'll work across multiple programs, each with its own clinical model, audience, and brand identity, translating their expertise into content that drives measurable impact across two distinct performance funnels.
 
The first is admissions-driven: moving prospective clients and their referral networks from initial awareness through to a call to admissions. Success here means building the kind of recognition that makes a psychiatrist, therapist, or discharge planner think to call us the moment the right client is sitting across from them.
 
The second is event and education-driven: moving clinical professionals from awareness through to paid registration for conferences, trainings, and webinars. Success here means positioning the Collective as a go-to source of continuing education and clinical thought leadership in the behavioral health space.
 
Salary Range: Min $80k | Mid $85k| Max $90k
 
Here’s some of the work you’ll lead: 
 
Design & Visual Production
  • Work from brand guidelines across multiple programs to produce collateral that is distinctive, on-brand, and appropriately flexible: event flyers, conference signage, brochures, social assets, and digital ads.
  • Design and build landing pages with strong UX/UI thinking, translating event and program goals into pages that convert into admissions calls and ticket sales.
  • Create email campaigns from the ground up: architecture, design, copy, and audience segmentation, with as much attention to layout and hierarchy as to words.
  • Produce visual content that makes clinical research and client stories come alive as a core part of how this organization communicates.
Digital Marketing & Channel Management
  • Social media strategy and execution across programs, developing content calendars, writing copy, and producing assets tailored to each audience and platform (graphic and video).
  • Google Ads campaigns for conferences and events, from setup through optimization, with a focus on qualified attendance.
  • Build and maintain websites with SEO in mind: editorial planning, keyword-informed copy, publishing, and ongoing optimization within existing templates.
  • Run A/B tests on email campaigns, analyze performance data, and apply findings. Content and design decisions are grounded in audience profiles, not assumptions.
Systems Building & Collaboration
  • Build the workflows, templates, and processes that make high-quality production repeatable across multiple programs and campaigns.
  • Collaborate closely with the Director of Marketing, Event Producer, and clinical program leaders to ensure digital execution is aligned with organizational goals.
  • Work with contracted creative partners on higher-stakes brand projects, maintaining clear handoffs and creative continuity.

Qualifications:

  • 3–5+ years of experience in digital marketing, content marketing, or related roles.
  • Strong copywriting and editing skills.
  • Experience managing social media, email campaigns, and websites in a professional services or healthcare-adjacent context.
  • Working knowledge of SEO principles and content optimization.
