Conversational Design Lead
We are seeking an open-minded, self-motivated professional with deep expertise in project management, clinical psychology, and conversational design to lead our Content team. At Slingshot, you’d be a critical member of the cross-functional team building Ash, a next-generation therapy app powered by generative AI. Our model has already displayed great promise and capability, but we need your help to ensure its clinical soundness and develop its unique voice.
What you’d do
- Lead a team of conversational writers and practicing clinical psychologists, who will craft warm and insightful conversations about a vast range of mental health topics.
- Collaborate with machine learning engineers to train our state-of-the-art model on these conversations, developing its voice and deepening its clinical expertise.
- Work with product designers and managers to assess Ash’s efficacy, integrate user feedback, and make constant improvements to the app.
- Work with the writing team to identify team priorities, delegate tasks, and plan sprints to ensure efficient execution.
- Provide general copywriting support and play a key role in developing the voice of our brand.
- Collaborate with our Clinical Lead to develop and execute a long-term vision for the company’s approach to content and clinical effectiveness.
Who you are
- A strong writer—capable of writing engaging prose, dialogue, and copy. Can shift between a wide range of styles and tones, from academic to professional to conversational.
- Deep background knowledge in psychology—at minimum, you’ve studied psychology at an undergraduate level and have gone to therapy yourself. You might even be a credentialed psychologist with real-life experience treating patients.
- A technologist—you have worked on a cross-functional team to build an engaging, innovative product, and you have experience with the Agile methodology (or other similar project management systems). Knowledge of UX, product, and especially conversational design is a must.
- A self-starter—you’re excited about paving your way, defining your own role, and being a founding member of a high-impact project
What We Offer
- Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
- Hybrid work style (Office in New York SoHo)
- Frequent offsites––opportunities for travel, team-building, and meaningful relationships
- Ability to make a massive impact, working alongside people who care deeply about mental health
