Content Strategist & Writer

About NOCD

NOCD is the #1 telehealth provider for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is one of the most severe, prevalent, and misunderstood mental health conditions. NOCD creates access to online therapy for people with OCD through our telehealth platform. In the NOCD app, Members can quickly access and schedule live, face-to-face video therapy sessions with our national network of licensed Therapists that specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) - considered the "gold standard" in OCD treatment.


At NOCD, we help people reclaim their lives with clinically proven OCD treatment, by removing barriers to OCD care, and reducing the stigma associated with OCD. We're changing the world and need other like-minded individuals to accelerate and expand our efforts.

About The Role

We're looking for a growth-minded content strategist and exceptional writer who combines content strategy, experimentation, and product thinking with hands-on content creation.

You'll help thousands of people who visit the NOCD website or download the NOCD app learn about OCD, feel less alone, and ultimately start specialized treatment sooner. You'll write, design, and optimize content-driven user flows, educational articles, and marketing materials, improve key funnel flows, and experiment with AI-first approaches to personalization.

We're looking for someone who is both creative and quantitative-a strong writer and storyteller who is equally excited about testing hypotheses, analyzing results, and using those insights to make content more effective.
