Slingshot AI
Slingshot AI is the team behind Ash, the first AI designed for mental health. Our mission is to make support more accessible and help people change their lives in the ways they want.
We’re building a world-class team by empowering individuals with the autonomy, flexibility, and support they need to do their best work. We dream big, iterate fast, and care deeply. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
Our team spans machine learning, product, engineering, conversational design, clinical, growth, and operations, with offices in both New York City and London.
We're a well-funded Series A company, having raised $93M from Andreessen Horowitz, Radical Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, plus top-tier tech investors involved in ElevenLabs, Captions, Shopify, Plaid, Notion, Canva, Twitch, Airtable, and many others.
What’s it all about?
Far more people want therapy than there are therapists to provide it, and most of the people who do find one are paying a price that puts it out of reach of everyone else. That gap is the reason Ash exists. Social is one of the most direct ways we can reach the people sitting inside it.
This is a making role. You will be on camera, you will write and shoot and cut short form video several times a week, and you will help grow the accounts it goes out on. You will work alongside our creative, growth, and clinical teams, and you will see what you make reach real people at real scale within days rather than quarters.
We are looking for someone who understands the subject matter and can make it simple. The job is to help us find which messages and angles actually land with people who are thinking about getting help, and to do that without losing trust or scientific rigour. Both halves matter equally. Content that resonates and overclaims is worse to us than content that does neither.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll do
- Work with us for 6 months full-time (or close to it), with the potential to transition to a full-time position at the end.
- Create, edit, and publish short form content across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
- Appear on camera, and produce UGC style video for both organic content and paid advertising, from concept to final cut.
- Take responsibility for a set of our social accounts. Plan them, post to them, read what the numbers say, and decide what to try next. You will run more tests in six months here than most people run in a career, and the calls on what to test next are largely yours.
- Develop hooks, scripts, and visual concepts that bring new people to Ash.
- Turn what psychology and behavioural science already know into content that reaches the people who need it.
- Read the comments and the communities, and bring back what people actually say about therapy, AI, and their own heads, in their words rather than ours.
- Analyse what worked and why, and work with the growth team to put weight behind it.
- Research trends, formats, and what the rest of this category is doing, and turn that into things we can test this week.
- Work closely with design, growth, and clinical to keep one voice across everything we put out.
What we’re looking for
- You are studying, or have recently finished, a degree or training in psychology, neuroscience, counselling, psychotherapy, or something adjacent.
- You have built an account of your own. The size matters less than the fact that you did it deliberately and can tell us what you learned.
- You are comfortable on camera, and specifically comfortable being visible while talking about mental health.
- You can edit short form video quickly in CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or similar.
- You live in short form and understand how it differs by platform. You can name accounts you think are excellent and say precisely why.
- You can write. A good first line matters more here than a good camera.
- You are comfortable with data. You would rather know whether something worked than believe it did.
- You want to learn fast in a high performance environment, and you already experiment with AI tools rather than waiting to be shown them.
- You take initiative and would rather post something imperfect today than something polished next week.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Nice to have:
- You have spent enough time in the US to know the ins and outs of pop culture
- You have run a community, a society, or a group chat that people actually turned up to.
Why work with us
We have a uniquely talented team that you will get to learn from day in and day out. We are on a mission to make mental health support more accessible and you will help us build our marketing strategy from the ground up towards this. We think that social media is a powerful place to communicate with people that could use support and you can help us figure out how best to reach them using research and science to separate us from the noise.
We are looking to use this role to bring on talented people that we can learn from. We are open to extending this role to a full-time position for the right person.
What we offer:
- A chance to join a passionate tight-knit team working on something to change the world
- Competitive compensation (top of personal market)
- Travel between our NYC / London offices
- Usual startup perks like free lunch and coffee in office + generous learning budget
- We cover your personal therapy
